Pastor Josh embarks on a new sermon series on increased capait5y in reaching Godly goals.
Philippians 3:12-14 New International Version
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Principle: Approach the Journey of Faith with HUMILITY.
James 4:6 New Living Translation
6 …“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Principle: Lots of things can stop your faith journey if you’re not tenacious.
Matthew 13:3-8 New Living Translation
3…A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. 5 Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. 6 But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. 8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
Philippians 3:12 New International Version
12 …but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Principle: You need to Take Hold like your life depends on it, because your life does depend on it.
Philippians 3:13-14 New International Version
13…Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize…
Principle: Forget what’s behind.
Principle: God wants to give you His plans for your future, but you have to leave the past behind you.
Philippians 3:14 New International Version
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 22:14 New Living Translation
14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Philippians 3:14 King James Version
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 9:24 New International Version
24 …Run in such a way as to get the prize.
