Pastors Ryan and Tim explore Paul's letter to the Philippians, focusing on how the Christian life is about pursuing Jesus rather than checking spiritual boxes. They unpack Philippians 3:10-12 to reveal that Paul's true goal was knowing Christ, not achieving spiritual perfection.
• Many Christians mistakenly see the goal as sinless living or completing spiritual disciplines
• Spiritual growth happens when we pursue Jesus, not when we focus on the disciplines themselves
• The Christian life is intentional, requiring active pursuit rather than passive participation
• Knowing about God is different from truly knowing God in relationship
• Focusing on sin often leads us directly into it, while fixing our eyes on Jesus transforms us
• God Himself initiates our relationship and works in us to create both desire and power to pursue Him
• When we make Jesus our goal, all other aspects of spiritual growth naturally follow
