1. I Press… Philippians 3:13-14 Press – “pursue … follow … press forward” To refuse to grow and remain ignorant is detrimental to our souls (Heb. 5:12-14; I Pet. 2:2)! “If a Christian is standing still, he is going backwards!!”

2. I Press… Christ’s Example & Teaching Christ’s own life is an example to us (Jn. 21:24-25; I Pet. 2:21-22) The Kingdom Compared To A Vineyard (Matt. 20:1-16, 21:33-46) Being a Christian is not for the lazy! (II Tim. 2:15 – “workman”; parables) Hebrews 4:9; Revelation 2:10

3. I Press… Paul’s Example & Teaching I Corinthians 9:24-27 I Corinthians 15:58 Colossians 3:1-4 Romans 12:1-2 II Timothy 4:7  I Timothy 6:12 Philippians 3:13-14

4. I Press… Peter’s Teaching Peter wrote to Christians (I Pet. 1:1). They had purified their souls (v. 22). Were born again (v. 23). I Peter 2:2 – “grow” II Peter 3:18 – “grow in grace/knowledge”

5. “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” Hear The Gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe In Christ (Jn. 8:24) Repent Of Sins (Lk.13:3) Confess Christ (Rom. 10:10) Be Baptized (I Pet. 3:21) For The Erring Child: Repent (Acts 8:22), Confess (I Jn. 1:9), Pray (Acts 8:22)
