Surpised by Joy: XIV

As athletes finish the race they reach or strain to cross the finish line to win the race. Paul uses this analogy as he encourages Christians to forget what lies behind and to press on to the prize which is Christ. This week we come to Philippians 3:12-14. Pastor Andrew uses luggage as examples of things we carry with us as we run the race that is our life. Carrying pieces of luggage can hinder us in our race until we allow Christ to redeem us and take the pieces of luggage we were not designed to carry. For Christ redeems your past when He becomes your future.
