Big - Walking Tall Like Paul!

Week 2

Philippians 3:10 to 4:1

Paul had a focus on the future

Think about your life; are you …

LOOKING BACK, “THE PAST”

3:17 “brothers join with others”

Paul is challenging his friends to live life on the edge for the glory of God

Unity is a by-product of this lifestyle

Where did all of this BIG thinking for Paul come from?
     Acts 9:15-16
 
Jesus has a purpose for each of us!
 
Did Paul’s challenge affect the Philippians?
 
The church today needs to go BIG for God

So How do we do it? How do we think Big?
 
1. Always remember how BIG God is!
 
2. Always see the Big Picture

Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn't I be concerned about that great city?"
Jonah 4:11

God is concerned about lost people. Jesus said …

“I have come to seek and save those like him who are lost."
Luke 19:10

His mission is our mission!
