Not There Yet!

In this powerful message, we're reminded that our spiritual journey is ongoing - we're not there yet. Drawing from Philippians 3:12-16, we're encouraged to 'press on' in our faith, constantly striving to grow closer to Christ. The imagery of 'straining toward what is ahead' challenges us to put all our energy into our spiritual goals, just as an athlete dives for the finish line. We're called to 'take hold' of what truly matters, carefully considering how our choices align with God's purpose for our lives. This message urges us to 'live up' to what we've already attained, avoiding the temptation to regress in our faith. By focusing on moving forward and not dwelling on the past, we can continue to grow and mature in our relationship with God.
