Church Online | Keep Pressing On - Ben Johnson

This Sunday, Pastor Ben Johnson shared a message entitled, "Keep Pressing On." To know Christ and to know the power of His resurrection is to share in His sufferings; to press on despite persecution, and hardship and tribulation. Only then shall we see the prize set for us, which is heavenward in Christ Jesus.

✍️ Notes

KEEP PRESSING ON

Philippians 3:10-14 NIV
"10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.12 Not that I have already obtained all this , or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

1. YOU CAN KNOW CHRIST
"10 I want to know Christ."

Matthew 7:2-23 NIV
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

2. YOU CAN EXPECT SUFFERING
"10 …to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, "


3. YOUR PAST DOES NOT DEFINE YOU
"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind…"


4. YOUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT
"14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize”
