Pressing Toward the Prize | Philippians 3:12–14 | Philippians Sermon Series

Michael Ryan Stotler

In Philippians 3:12–14, the apostle Paul reminds believers that the Christian life is not about arriving at perfection but about continually pursuing Christ. Even Paul admitted he had not yet attained the fullness of what God promised.

Using the imagery of a race, Paul calls believers to forget what lies behind, strain toward what lies ahead, and press on toward the goal.

In this sermon we explore:

• Why spiritual growth is a lifelong pursuit

• How to overcome past failures and successes

• What the “prize of the upward call of God” means

• How believers can stay focused on Christ

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God calls you to keep moving forward in faith.
