3-7-21 Philippians 3:12-4:1 Standing Firm

“Standing Firm” – Philippians 3:12-4:1

Always Pressing Forward (vs12-16)

We must realize we are not perfect.

In following Christ, we always have more to learn, grow, and do.

We must leave the past behind to pursue what is ahead.

True maturity recognizes we aren’t yet complete.

Right Examples

We all need others in our lives as we follow Christ.

We need to be discerning about the examples that shape us.

The wrong examples have idols, are headed for destruction, and are stuck on earthly things.

Remembering Your Home

Our ultimate home/citizenship is in heaven.

This world isn’t what keeps us going so it can’t be what brings us down.

We have our powerful savior coming for us.

We have a glorious future to look forward to.
