Crossing The Finish Line
The Ultimate Purpose
January 3, 2024 • Pastor James Ford Jr. • Philippians 3:10
We were created by Yahweh God for specific purposes. However, many people have no sense of purpose and wander aimlessly through life, not really living life to the fullest, just existing because they don't know their purpose. For some, the problem is not that we don't have a purpose, it's that our aim is too low. Our ultimate purpose in life is to know Him better! It's all about Christ. He's all I have, but He's all I need. Christ should be our ultimate purpose! The psalmist was correct when he said, this is the day the Lord has made, and guess what we should do?

Crossing The Finish Line - Part 1
January 7, 2024 • Pastor James Ford Jr. • Philippians 3:13–15
We are the start of the new year, at the starting line. Sometimes we start with a fire and end with a fizzle. Too many of us want to obtain but not maintain, we have too many excuses. Those who want to do something find a way, those who don’t find an excuse. The Bible tells us about everyone who crossed the finish line because they realized that Jesus died for their sins and not for their excuses. We have folk who witness to us that we can cross the finish line irrespective of our issues, such as being too old or too young, our former lifestyle or not having enough Bible knowledge. Today we start our study on what we need to do to cross the finish line. The psalmist was correct when he said, this is the day the Lord has made, and guess what we should do?

Paul says that everybody who wants to cross the finish line, has to be like hot cocoa. God put some things in you that only ripping your package and placing you in hot water is going to bring out. It’s been said ad infinitum, that a Christian is like a teabag; no good till you put them in hot water. When you put them in hot water, their flavor comes out and the hotter the water, the deeper the flavor. Today we continue our study on Crossing The Finish Line.
