How do we make progress in our spiritual lives if we are haunted by our past? Paul shows us the importance of forgetting the past and straining every spiritual muscle toward the future prize of glory. We must lay hold on Christlikeness and make it our own just as Christ laid hold on us to make us his own.

Philippians 3:1-11- Counting It All Loss to Christ (9/10/17)

How do you shine for Christ in such a dark world? By avoiding grumbling and griping, holding fast to the Word of life, and learning to rejoice in all circumstances because of the hope we have in Christ.

Philippians 2:12-13- "Work Out What God Works In"
They call work "the daily grind" for a reason. But what about the work of salvation? We can never work to earn our salvation, but once God has worked salvation in us, we must work it out on a daily basis. The hard work of living for Christ is to be done with fear and trembling before God and we must always remember God empowers us to will and work for his good pleasure.
