Striving Toward God’s High Calling
By: Jeff Poythress
Series: (All)
Philippians 3:12-14
Today is the beginning of a new year! Rather than getting caught up in stereotypical New Year’s resolutions, why don’t we study and apply what the Bible teaches about making a new start in life? The Apostle Paul gives us some excellent guidance in his letter to the Philippian believers.
We need an attitude of humility. “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect…” (v.12a)
We need the aspiration to grow. “...but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” (v.12b)
We need to keep a singular focus. “But one thing I do…” (v.13a)
We need to leave the past in the past. “Forgetting what is behind…” (v.13b)
We need to set our sight on the future God has in store! “I press on toward the goal…” (v.14)WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Nov 1, 2020Wake Up! God Is Calling!By: Jeff PoythressSeries: (All)"If He calls you, say, "Speak, Lord, for you servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:9Eli, the elderly priest of Israel, gave to young Samuel the best possible advice and it is spiritual instruction we ought to heed today. When the Lord speaks to us, we need to have a humble and willing spirit. What if every night going to bed and every morning getting up, we were to sincerely say to God, "Speak, Lord, for you servant is listening." Imagine the wonderful truths He would reveal to us!
