Press On

Pastor Joel addresses the Christian journey of sanctification, emphasizing that spiritual perfection is not attained in this life but should motivate believers to press forward in their faith. Using Philippians 3:12-16, Pastor Joel examines Paul's example of relentless pursuit of Christ despite 30 years of ministry and numerous spiritual experiences. He challenges believers to examine whether their spiritual walk is marked by diligence or negligence, reminding them that while salvation is secured through faith in Christ alone, spiritual growth requires active participation and consistent effort. Pastor Joel offers both comfort—that we are not yet perfect—and challenge—that we must not become complacent but continually seek deeper relationship with God through spiritual disciplines, service, and devotion.
