“The Goal of a Christian’s Life: Part I

Sunday, July 20, 2025 – Covenant Community ChurchScripture Text: Philippians 3:12-14 NIV The importance of goals in life can never be underestimated. They set direction, define action and hopefully bring about a satisfied fulfillment in your life. However, true success is to lay hold of that for which God has laid hold on you. In today’s text, Paul pursued his goal with absolute determination. He gave humanity a Formula: forgetting what is behind; then focusing on the life goal avoiding side-tracking. God therefore calls us all to reach out to higher ground. Pastor Wallace gives us four great words regarding this passage that could help us understand the text fully: Dissatisfaction; Devotion; Direction; and Determination. Summarily, we are all in a race – we are moving somewhere – where are you going? What direction are you running in? Are you running towards God or away from God? My prayer is that as Jesus gets a hold of you, that you would hold onto Him. Amen.
