In this sermon, we explore Paul’s message in Philippians 3:12-14 about pressing on towards the goal and prize of our upward call in Christ Jesus. Key points include:
Forgetting what lies behind, both past failures and successes, and straining forward to what lies ahead
Realizing our imperfection and humbly depending on God’s righteousness, not our own
The importance of setting clear spiritual goals, staying focused and determined, and relying on God’s strength
Surrounding ourselves with fellow believers who can encourage us to love and good deeds. The sermon encourages us to keep making progress in our spiritual journey, not getting stuck in the past, but pressing on towards the prize of knowing Christ more fully and being conformed to His image.
