Scripture Text: Philippians 3:12-14 NIV

The importance of goals in life can never be underestimated. They set direction, define action and hopefully bring about a satisfied fulfillment in your life. However, true success is to lay hold of that for which God has laid hold on you. In today’s text, Paul pursued his goal with absolute determination. He gave humanity a Formula: forgetting what is behind; then focusing on the life goal avoiding side-tracking. God therefore calls us all to reach out to higher ground. Pastor Wallace gives us four great words regarding this passage that could help us understand the text fully: Dissatisfaction; Devotion; Direction; and Determination. Summarily, we are all in a race – we are moving somewhere – where are you going? What direction are you running in? Are you running towards God or away from God? My prayer is that as Jesus gets a hold of you, that you would hold onto Him. Amen.

Scripture Text: Genesis 39:19-23 NRSV

What do you do when everything is coming at you or you are getting hit from every side? Sooner or later we all wonder about God’s seeming inactivity. Where is God when we need Him? In the book of Genesis, Joseph faced some of the worst difficulties anyone ever encountered. In today’s message, Drawing, from insights from Joseph’s story, Pastor Wallace gives five principles you can take to heart and apply in times like these. They are: 1) Don’t demand to Understand; 2) Don’t fail to be faithful; 3) Don’t Bow to Bitterness; 4) Be willing to wait; and 5) Don’t let dreams dissolve. Thus, don’t lose faith when something does not make sense. Just because it does not make sense now does not mean that it will not make sense one day.

Scripture Text: John 6:66-69 NIV

Our passage today is preceded by a monumental miracle in Jesus’ ministry. John 6 begins, so famously, with the feeding of the Five thousand. After the miracle of feeding, Jesus withdraws from this kind of thing because He knows they have the wrong intentions, mistaken motives when the follow Him. They see Him as their baker and not Savior. Thus, He begins speaking also of things spiritual. He wants them to pay more attention to the life to come than they do to this life. As we consider how we should respond to the stresses and struggles we face living these days, Pastor Wallace notes three things about this interaction: first, we should note Jesus’ question; second, we should note Peter’s understanding of his options; and third, we should note Peter’s answer. Thus, we will be better prepared to answer the question “to whom do you go?” Better, yet, “where else would we want to go?” Living these days are difficult and disappointing, but our hope is in Jesus Christ! Amen. If you have been blessed from hearing this message, please consider sowing into our ministry by visiting our webpage at www.indycovenant.org. Thanks
