We Have Not Attained It All Yet, but We Still Pursue

Everyone is running a race through life, but many are running with different goals. Our prize will be eternal fellowship with Christ; something that cannot be fully attained in this life, but we still need to pursue that goal as we mature in Christ!

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• What kind of a spirituality race are you running?
• How do you press on when life gets you down?
• Has Christ laid hold of your heart?
• What are you trying to forget from your past in order to reach forward to the upward call of Christ?
• Are there sins in your life which are moving you backward in your Christian walk?
• What spiritual goals do you have?
• What is the prize you are running to obtain?
