1. Living for a Future

2. What Am I Living For? Some people are constantly looking back
Some people live for the moment
Some people only focus on what’s next

3. Philippians 1:20-26 Paul longed for heaven
If he couldn’t be in heaven, he wanted to live for Christ
He would continue to teach (v. 22, 25)
He wanted his readers to want heaven too (v )

4. Living for a Future
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
~ Phil 3:12
The past shapes our present
The present shapes our future
We are living for our future right now

5. Living for a Future
 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
~ Philippians 3:13-14

6. Where Is Our Future?
“People who live only in the present, with no eternal future in mind, are bound for destruction”
Our citizenship is in heaven
