RCCG: Place of His Presence

Forgetting the Past  

Phil 3: 13.

Intro

Forget the past, strive for the future

Where do you strive for the future? In the present! That is the importance of the present.

The past is gone, you cannot change it. But you can show your mind concerning it, by your present attitude. Acts 17:30 

Body

Luke 9:62

The Mindset of a Forward-moving Christian

Hebrews 12:1 – 3

1. Cast away everything that hinders

2. Focus on Jesus and the race before you

3. Let Christ be your example, and be encouraged

Conclusion

Col 1:21 - 23

Where you are now, is what matters. Your decision now can change your history. If Christ comes at this very moment, it is your present standing with Him that you’ll be judged by. Not the past or the future.

Questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you still carry some unrighteous baggages in your heart?
2. Do you walk by faith (resolute) faith in Christ?
3. Do you have firm hope in the gospel and are you unmoved by ungodly opposition?
