The apostle cautions the Philippians against judaizing false teachers, and renounces his own former privileges. Using the wisdom demonstrated by Paul we today should be cautious when others try to get us to turn away from the truth God has allowed us to understand when they won't repent and let God save them. Paul's earnest desire to be found in Christ; also his pressing on toward perfection is what the church of Jesus Christ is for. To teach and and explain that the church teaches what Jesus said, seek ye first the kingdom of God and the things shall be added and not pursue the carnal above the spiritual and as he recommends his own example to other believers so should we.

Philippians 3:7-14; "This One Thing I Do"
Brett Garner | SS Jun 1st, 2025 | Philippians 3 (cont'd)

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” (Philippians 3:13–14 NLT) If you want to run the race of life successfully, then don’t look back. If you’ve ever run a race and looked over your shoulder to see what your competitor was doing, then you know that looking back can break your stride and ultimately cause you to lose. Paul applies this principle to the Christian life in Philippians 3:13–14: “Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race” (NLT). His point is that if you’re going to be an effective disciple of Jesus, you must forget the things that are behind you. In this context, the word forget doesn’t mean a failure to remember as much as it means no longer being influenced or affected by the past. In other words, leave the past in the past. Forget the things that already have happened. You may not be able to erase them from your memory, but you don’t need to let them influence you. Sometimes we dredge up things that God has forgiven and forgotten. The Lord says, “I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins” (Jeremiah 31:34 NLT). Yet many times we bring up our past sins, driven by a sense of guilt or shame. Those backward glances reveal an immaturity in our faith, a misunderstanding of God’s nature. When we lose our forward focus in that way, it’s like we doubt God’s willingness to forgive certain sins. We forget that He has a big eraser. Why should we choose to remember what He has chosen to forget? If God has forgiven my sins and forgotten them, then I need to leave them behind, learn from my mistakes, not do the same thing again, and move forward. And it’s not just our past sins that we need to leave behind. We also need to forget our past victories. Certainly, we should thank God for them and learn from them. But we also must remember that we’re running a marathon. Replaying over and over again the jump we got at the starting line takes our focus off the course ahead. It makes us lose stride. The temptation to celebrate early or to rest on our laurels is strong. That’s the work of our enemy. His aim is to slow us down—or, better yet, to stop us in our tracks. The best way to counter his moves is to press on toward the goal. To keep our eyes focused on what God is doing and where He’s leading us. God will greet you at the finish line with the sweetest words you’ll ever hear: “Well done, my good and faithful servant” (see Matthew 25:23 NLT). Until that time, don’t slow your pace or break your stride. The race isn’t over. Reflection Question: What does pressing on to reach the end of the race look like in your life?

Philippians is a remarkable epistle (or letter) to the church in Philippi. In it, the apostle Paul writes on topics such as prayer, worship, Christian living, humility, unity, and the powerful work of Christ completed in us. People often recognize this book by it's many familiar passages such as, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" to name just a couple. This book is packed with life-changing principles, so grab your Bible and join Jerry Dirmann as he dives into the amazing book of Philippians, and helps us see how to apply this book in practical ways.

This week, guest speaker James Evans directs us to see the ultimate reward of true religion and saving faith; experiencing and knowing Jesus Christ, and living forevermore with Him. In comparison to all other accomplishments we can achieve and reputations we could hold, pursuing Christ, knowing him more and more, is a reward that is higher and greater than anything we could ever have or attain. Listen for more!
This week, Nick shows us how important, spiritually, our eyes are to our spiritual well being and faith. It's crucial that we set our eyes on Jesus, because we end up becoming like, or imitating, what we look at, what we seek. Listen here for more!
Acts
“I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.” (Philippians 3:7–9 NLT) In testimonies, Christians often talk about what they gave up to follow Jesus Christ. But what do we really give up? Some people give up addiction to drugs or alcohol. For most people, they give up a sense of guilt, emptiness, loneliness, and the ever-present fear of death. So it would be pretty easy for them to agree with the apostle Paul’s words in Philippians 3. Paul is saying, “The things I have given up are nothing compared to what God has given to me.” This teaching of Paul’s is a very important principle to learn as we become more mature in our faith. We find happiness in God. The Bible says, “Blessed are those whose ways are blameless” (Psalm 119:1 NIV). The word blessed that is used here and throughout the psalms can be translated as “happy.” A more literal rendering of the word blessed—and I really like this one—would be “happy, happy.” So if someone had asked the psalmist, “How are you feeling today?” he might have replied, “Happy, happy.” But in this psalm and in other places in Scripture, we find that happiness is connected to holiness (or being “blameless”). We also find that happiness is not something that we should seek outright. Happiness should be the result of seeking holiness. Despite what our Declaration of Independence says, the pursuit of happiness in and of itself is generally a futile search. The apostle Peter wrote, “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now, you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, ‘You must be holy because I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:14–16 NLT). God didn’t create us to be happy in the shallow sense of the word. He created us to be holy, to live as Christ lived, to prioritize the commands of Scripture, and to share our faith with others. And He stands ready to help us whenever that pursuit seems too difficult. When we pursue holiness, we experience a soul-deep sense of satisfaction, joy, hope, purpose, and fulfillment. We discover true happiness. If you desire happiness, then seek the holiness of God. Only then will you be “happy, happy.” Reflection Question: What does pursuing holiness look like in your life?

As we acknowledge our own weakness, we can experience the power of Jesus' resurrection. On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that the pathway to Christ's resurrection was His own death - it was in weakness that the ultimate glory was revealed.

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie begin part 1 of a look at the Christ Hymn (Phil 2:6-11) by discussing the context in which the hymn appears (2:1-5). In this passage, Paul exhorts them to be unified. But what does this mean for us today? The Church is so deeply divided; is it possible to bring unity? And what is our role?
