Forgetting & Remembering

Summary

The sermon encourages believers to honestly reflect on their past year, confessing failures and shortcomings to God, then forgetting those things while remembering the perfection and grace of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes pressing forward in faith, growing in spiritual maturity, and focusing on the eternal hope of Christ's return and the everlasting kingdom. The preacher urges the congregation to stir up their minds by remembering God's faithfulness and teachings through Scripture, and to live humbly, relying on God's grace rather than pride. The message draws heavily on Philippians 3 and 2 Peter to illustrate the balance of forgetting past sins and remembering God's promises and work in our lives.
