Philippians

Part 9 – Pressing On

Philippians 3.12-4.1

Pressing on (v.12-16)

• Pressing on means forgetting the good and bad behind you.
• Pressing on means fighting to know God.
• Pressing on means clarity of the goal:  knowing God.
• Pressing on does not mean you don’t have questions.
• Pressing on does not mean you surrender in order to explore.

Walking Example (v.17)

• We receive instruction from those who walk as examples.
• We receive inspiration from those who walk as examples.

Enemies of the Cross (v.18-19)

• An enemy of the cross has destruction as their end.
• An enemy of the cross has their desires as their god.
• An enemy of the cross boasts about what they should blush about.

Heavenly Citizenship (3.20-4.1)

• We wait for our appearance of our Savior.
• We wait for the completion of our transformation.
• Until both happen, we stand firm.
