Philippians – Press On!

  • Prelude
  • Welcome | Announcements
  • Opening Prayer
  • Call To Worship – UMH 69
      • Glorious God, source of joy and righteousness, enable us as redeemed and forgiven children evermore to rejoice in singing your praises. Grant that what we sing with our lips we may believe in our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts we may practice in our lives; so that being doers of the Word and not hearers only, we may receive everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      • All: Amen.
  • Reading – [Philippians 3:12-21 ESV]
      • 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
      • 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
      • 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
      • 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
      • 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
      • 17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
      • 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
      • 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
      • 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
      • 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
