About this episode
This sermon discusses how to avoid wasting your life by focusing on the right goals and relying on community.
What if the greatest danger is not failure, but succeeding at the wrong things?In Philippians 3:12–4:1, Paul gives a clear picture of the Christian life: press on toward Christ. Not toward comfort. Not toward comparison. Not toward past success or shame. Toward Jesus.This sermon walks through five ways we can waste our lives: choosing the wrong finish line, thinking we’ve already arrived, staying stuck in the past, running without God’s people, and quitting too soon. But there is good news; Jesus has already secured the finish line.Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess.Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together.We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus.Come as you are. Experience His love.#PhoenixBibleChurch #Philippians #LoveMoves #FollowJesus #ChristianLifePhilippians 3, How to Waste Your Life, Christian…
