The Big Idea: Faith is out of focus if it stares at anything other than Jesus.

Philippians 3:1-14 (p. 1012-1013)

The universal question for people in chains is “WHY?”

The search for an answer is actually a search for CONFIDENCE.

There is a savage enemy of your faith: a LIST. -Romans 2:28-29 (p. 967) -Galatians 3:10 (p. 1002) -James 2:10 (p. 1044)

When your focus is a LIST, your goal is SELF.

When your focus is JESUS, your goal is HIM.

You cannot know the power of the resurrection unless there is a DEATH.

When your prize is JESUS, your life opens to a whole new world.

So, What do I do now? -FORGET and PURSUE.
