What is his new focus?
Read Philippians 3:12-14
What does Paul leave behind, and what does he press toward?
What do you learn about his attitude toward life from these verses?
What does it mean to forget? What kind of “forgetting” would allow a person to pursue what Paul is pursuing?
What is the one thing in your past that you need to let go of most in order to live joyfully today? What is your next step in letting it go?
What is the event in your past where you most need God to bring healing or release or redemption?
Read Proverbs 26:12
What wisdom is communicated in this verse?
Read Psalm 139:23-24
What does it mean to ask God to search your heart?
How can you apply:
“My bad” - something from the past for which you need to repent.
“Your bad” - something from the past for which you need to forgive (Ephesians 4:32)
“It’s bad” - something from your past you wish would have been different and need to have hope
This week’s memory verse is Romans 12:17. Spend time with your family and group learning it together.
