Philippians 3:15

There are three tenets in football that drive the game: We should focus on the basics, keep our eye on the ball, and never forget it is more than just a sport. In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul wants us to get into Jesus’ frame of mind so that we can play the field just as He did. What was in Jesus’ mind? Can we get the same results?

In a culture that values comfort and self-determination above all else, the idea of “denying yourself and taking up your cross” to follow Jesus is scandalous. But as Jesus showed us, that is exactly what it takes to walk in the way of abundant life. Part 3 of 4 of Feed's Scandal of the Gospel series.

How many of us have said this year will be different? My prayer is that it really will be. God designed us with a specific purpose. And the life He's given us is meant to be lived pursuing that purpose. Not looking back or standing stagnant, but relentlessly going after Him with passion and expectation. My prayer is that this devotional aids you in that pursuit. Ok, Ready, Set GO!
