Look back:  Read back over Philippians 3:1-11 and remember that Christians rejoice in the Lord because of the gift of righteousness in Christ. 

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, Pastor Michael will be preaching from Philippians 3:12-16. Read the passage several times during the week with your family.

Ask: Does Paul talk about himself as already perfect or a work in progress? Is thinking that way a mark of maturity or immaturity as a Christian? What have believers "attained" in Jesus?

Sing: Visit the blog for this week's music. Check out the relatively new song "Grace." Listen to this as a family! You can also find our music playlists on Spotify.
