Strive Part 4 by Pastor Keith Battle

In today’s reflection on Philippians 3, we’re reminded that spiritual growth is a journey, not a destination. Paul humbly acknowledges that he hasn’t yet reached God’s calling, teaching us that it’s not about perfection but about the relentless pursuit of growth. Like a runner pressing toward the finish line, we're called to run with purpose, aiming for the prize of salvation through faith in Christ. Obstacles and failures are inevitable, but resilience is key — Proverbs 24:16 tells us the righteous rise again. With God's grace, we can get back up, stay faithful, and keep pushing forward. Our journey requires hard work, humility, and consistency, knowing that God strengthens us along the way. Let’s keep striving until the very end.
