The Joy-Filled Life: The Pursuit of Knowing Jesus

In “The Pursuit of Knowing Jesus,” we explore Philippians 3:5-14, where Paul teaches that true fulfillment and purpose come from a singular focus on knowing Christ, leaving past achievements behind.
Discussion Questions for Growth Groups

Discussion Questions:

  1. How does Paul’s background and heritage influence his message in Philippians 3:5-14?
  2. What does it mean to “press on” towards knowing Christ, and how can this look in our daily lives?
  3. Why does Paul count his accomplishments and heritage as "garbage" compared to knowing Christ?
  4. How can we apply the idea of a “rearview mirror vs. windshield” perspective in our spiritual growth?
  5. How does focusing on our identity in Christ rather than our past mistakes transform our relationship with God?
