ONE THING: Pressing Forward Into Freedom

What's preventing you from becoming everything God created you to be? This week's message challenges us to identify the ONE THING we need to let go of in order to press forward into the life Christ has for us.

The Apostle Paul, despite his impressive religious credentials and painful past experiences, made a powerful declaration: "One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what lies ahead." This isn't about erasing our memories—it's about refusing to let our past define our future.

In this compelling message, you'll discover:

• Why unforgiveness hurts you more than the person you won't forgive
• The crucial difference between experiencing failure and being a failure
• How Louis Zamperini's encounter with Christ transformed vengeance into radical forgiveness
• The two essential movements required for spiritual progress
• Why pressing forward looks more like surrender than conquest

Key Scriptures Referenced: Philippians 3:2, 3:7-11, 3:13-14 | Mark 10:21 | Luke 10:41 | John 9:25 | Psalm 27:4

Next Steps:

1. Identify the ONE THING from your past that's holding you back
2. Make the decision today to release it through forgiveness and surrender
3. Share your story of breakthrough with someone who needs hope
4. Join us next weekend as we begin a new series

Is God calling you to let go of something today? Unforgiveness? Past failures? Fear of the unknown? In one bold stroke, forgiveness obliterates the past and permits us to enter the land of new beginnings. What are you willing to release to claim the freedom Jesus died to give you?
