1. Phil 3: Nov. 12, 2017  

2. But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ,

3. ….and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.  Phil. 3:7-10

4. Forget what is behind.

7. Not that I have already attained or arrived at my goal.
A godly dissatisfaction is needed – I keep pressing on, I want to do my very best for Christ.

9. I press on
I Press On
I press on

10. To take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

11. To take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
But I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be. NLT

12. I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

13. One thing I do

14. One thing I do
