This document discusses attitudes of the heart based on a passage from Philippians 3:12-14. It emphasizes three key points: 1) Not being complacent but instead pressing on eagerly to know Christ more intimately. 2) Aiming to know Christ in a way that transforms the heart and renews the mind. 3) Forgetting past failures or successes and pressing on toward the upward call of God in Christ for the future.

1. TAKING STOCK
& TAKING AIM

2. 12 Not that I have already obtained it or
have already become perfect, but I press
on so that I may lay hold of that for
which also I was laid hold of by Christ
Jesus.
13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as
having laid hold of it yet; but one thing
I do: forgetting what lies behind and
reaching forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal for the
prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus
PHIL 3:12-14 (ASV)

3. ATTITUDES OF THE HEART
1.Not complacent
 Complacency - uncritical smugness,
happy with status quo, no desire to add
any more effort, false security
 BUT Press On - persecute, pursue, seek
after eagerly; have a ‘holy violence’
Charles Spurgeon
 Lay hold of Jesus (Seize, catch,
overtake) as Jesus has laid hold of you.

4. ATTITUDES OF THE HEART
2. One thing to aim for:
 To KNOW Christ is to have the HEART TRANSFORMED and
MIND RENEWED
 To KNOW is more than cognitive but an intimate
relationship
 Enjoy God and love people.
3. Strategy
 Forget what lies behind .. 2019-
 Press on towards the prized goal of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus... .2020+
