What does it look like to keep growing in your relationship with Jesus: especially when life gets busy, distracting, or discouraging?
In this message, Clay walks through Paul’s words in Philippians 3:12–21, where Paul admits he isn’t perfect but refuses to drift into complacency. Instead, he presses on to know Christ more deeply. Paul shows us how to move forward, leave unhelpful patterns behind, and fix our eyes on the better future Jesus has secured for us.
You’ll hear:
* Why knowing Jesus is worth pursuing with effort and joy
* How to leave the past behind—both sin and success
* Why grace is opposed to earning, but never opposed to effort
* How to grow in maturity and Christ-centered thinking
* Why Christian growth requires examples, imitation, and community
* What it means that “our citizenship is in heaven”
Scripture: Philippians 3:12–21
