The Goal of a Christian Life

“The Goal of the Christian Life”
Philippians 3:10-11
“My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead” (Philippians 3:10-11, CSB). PRAY
The goal of the Christian life is to know Christ (v. 10).
“This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the one You have sent—Jesus Christ” (John 17:3, CSB).
- All relationships begin with an introduction.
“Breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord” he was on his way to Damascus to arrest men and women who were followers of Jesus, when “a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ He answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ The Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting’” (see Acts 9:1-6).
- All relationships grow through cultivation.
- Cultivation requires time. You must spend time together.
To know Christ in a more intimate way, you must open your heart to Him, so He can confront you, cleanse you and make you more like Himself.
- Christ reveals Himself through His written Word (Heb. 1:1-3).
“Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things and made the universe through him. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word” (Heb. 1:1-3, CSB).
- The goal of Bible study is growing obedience.
“The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him” (John 14:21, CSB).

The Gospel in a Grumble

December 20, 2020
“The Gospel in a Grumble”
Luke 15:1-10
The Christmas story is about the seeking love of God and we see that love incarnate in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who “came to seek and to save the lost” (Lk. 19:10).
SETTING THE STAGE (Lk. 15:1-2)
“All the tax collectors and sinners were approaching to listen to him. And the Pharisees and scribes were complaining, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them’” (Lk. 15:1-2, CSB).
THE SHEPHERD’S JOY (Lk. 15:3-7)
“So, he told them this parable: ‘What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it? When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders, and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!’ I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who don’t need repentance’” (Lk. 15:3-7, CSB).
THE COIN A WOMAN LOST AND FOUND (Lk. 15:8-10)
“Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the silver coin I lost!’ I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents” (Lk. 15:8-10, CSB).
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Heb. 3:15; 4:7, CSB).
“See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me” (Rev. 3:20, CSB).
“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21, CSB).
