The Lasting Prize

Lasting Satisfaction

Where does lasting satisfaction come from? Many in the world believe that it comes from money, status, success and security, but in reality, those things will never truly satisfy. Indeed, compared to Christ those things are “rubbish” according to Paul. What does it mean to truly live a life that is fully satisfied in Christ? What does a person who is satisfied by Christ look like? How do they think? How do they move within a world that is trying to convince them that they don’t need Christ?

The Lasting Work of God

The Lasting Work of God

Every day we toil and we work, but the question is are working for the glory of God? Our work will fade and it will come to an end, but the only work that will last is the work of God. Paul tells us that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. It is not that Paul wants us to work for salvation, but rather see that we should live a life of faith in light of the gift of grace in salvation. Therefore, we look to God’s work in our salvation and we live a life without grumbling as lights in the world that shine towards the work of Christ.. Visit us online at: http://www.RenewalChurch.net

Lasting Mindset

What does it mean to have a mind like Christ? Paul tells us that Christ led in humility, he emptied himself, and took the form of a servant. What humility that Jesus has come from perfect heaven to broken earth to be one of us! In the incarnation of Jesus we a glorious display of love and kindness, and we should live our lives in the same way. We should not live in selfish ambition, but we should walk humbly in this life.

Lasting Ambitions

What are your ambitions in life? Some of us aim to be respected. Some aim to be wealthy. Some aim to be healthy, but for Paul, no one could not question his ambitions. He aimed to see Christ glorified in His life. Our aim should be no different, everything we do in our lives should not done out of selfish ambition, but our aim should be that Christ is glorified.Visit us online at: http://www.RenewalChurch.net

Lasting Hardship

As Paul writes from prison we see a man who is not in despair, depression or anxiety, but rather a man who’s hope is set on God. We learn a valuable lesson from Paul in this moment — we cannot allow our circumstances to shape how we think of God, but rather we should shape how we think of our circumstances based on what we know about God. Paul reminds his friends that his imprisonment actually helps the advancement of the gospel. In this life, we will have many hardships, but God does not waste our hardships. They are lasting hardships, because God will use any and everything in our lives. Even the difficult things. For Paul, all that matters is the gospel.

Lasting Friendship

Paul opens up his letter by expressing his deep love for the church in Philippi. It is obvious that God has used this church for his own encouragement and growth. The beginning of Paul’s relationship with them goes all the way back to Acts 16 where we meet the likes of Lydia, a demon possessed girl, and a roman jailor. These three uniquely different individuals make up the beginning of the church in Philippi. And what is clear is that the only thing that they have in common is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is what unites them despite their social and economic differences. It is no different with us. We are all partakers of a gospel that does not divide us, but that unites us! It is a lasting friendship that is built on nothing, but Jesus Himself. Visit us online at: http://www.RenewalChurch.net
