ONE THING I DO
Phil:3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Paul was doing more than one thing for his Lord.
The one thing that motivated him most was the LORDSHIP of CHRIST.
He was a preacher ,teacher, missionary, author tent maker in all Christ was lord.
One thing that keeps people from doing there best, The LORDSHIP OF CHRIST.
1. Live for Christ.
Phil:1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Go with the Gospel.
Give your best to the service.
Get as many Saved as possible.
2. LOVE FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Phil:2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Christ’s love for Paul
Paul’s love for Christ
Paul’s love for the lost.
3. LEAN ON CHRIST FOR STRENGTH
Phil:3:7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
He is sufficient for every saint.
He can supply ever need
He can save every sinner

Power of his resurrection
Fellowship of his suffering
Conformable to his death

Phil:3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Loyal to his word
Loyal to his work
Loyal to his walk
