In a world plagued by anxiety, division, and self-reliance, the contagious joy of the Lord Jesus Christ stands as a powerful witness to the Truth of the Gospel. In It’s Contagious, Pass It On, Dr. Michael Youssef leads you through the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians—a bold call to rejoice not in circumstances, but in Christ alone. This eight-part series confronts the enemies of joy: pride, fear, bitterness, and false teaching. You will learn how to catch the joy of salvation, guard it through obedience, and pass it on through faithfulness and sacrificial living. Rooted in Scripture and driven by urgency, this series calls every believer to reflect the joy of Christ and proclaim His victory to a lost world.

In message five of It’s Contagious, Pass It On, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges believers to take spiritual inventory and rediscover the priceless worth of the joy found in Christ alone. Preaching from Philippians 3:1–11, he exposes the false securities that rob Christians of joy—worldly pride, self-righteousness, and misplaced confidence in human effort. Joy cannot coexist with a divided heart or a diluted Gospel. Dr. Youssef warns that anything placed above obedience to God’s Word becomes spiritual rubbish, eclipsing the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ. True joy is restored when believers count all things as loss for the sake of Christ, treasure His righteousness above all, and live by the power of His resurrection.
