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

Dec 25, 2022A Shepherd for the ShepherdsBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)Luke 2:8-20 Perhaps we all tend to identify with the shepherds of the nativity story because they were just common, ordinary people like us. It was to them that the angels first announced the birth of the Savior, sending them to find the Christ Child in a manger in Bethlehem. Their hearts were filled with wonder, but there was much they did not yet understand about that precious baby. They didn’t know the child sleeping in a manger was also a Lamb.
