Live in Pursuit: Let’s Press On Towards the Finish

The Christian life is not a race we have already finished, but a lifelong pursuit of knowing and becoming more like Jesus Christ. In this text, Paul reminds us that this pursuit is not just for a select few, but for every believer.

Big Idea: As recipients of God’s grace and calling, we must actively press on towards the eternal prize.

1. We Haven’t Arrived Yet, so Press On Toward the Finish (12-13)
2. Christ Has Taken Hold of Us, so Press On to Take Hold of Him (12-14)
3. Mature Christians Think This Way, so Press On by Growing in the Word (15-16)
