Building Up: What is God Saying? 

1- Read Philippians 3:12,14. How is Heaven as our goal something that will help keep us on track with our faith?

2- Read Philippians 3:13. What can we forget about our past and what should we remember in order to move forward?

3- Read Philippians 3:15-16. What does it mean to live up to what we’ve already attained? (Also see Philippians 1:27.)

4- Read Philippians 3:17. How has the example of others helped you in your willingness and ability to follow Jesus? What could you do to be a better example?

5- Read Philippians 3:18-19. “Their god is their stomach.” Paul is focusing in on the problem of our desires controlling us. Why is it a problem? Why is it short-sighted in light of these verses in Philippians 3?

6- Read Philippians 3:20-21. What does it mean to be a citizen of Heaven while we’re here on earth? What are some of the things about Heaven you’re looking forward to the most?
