sermon: Reach for the Goal
Attaining the Kingdom of God
John O. Reid
Given 20-Mar-99; Tape #385
Description: John Reid, observing that people pull together in camaraderie and productivity in times of national crisis, admonishes that we must also have a transcendental goal, a vision of the finish line, in order to overcome and grow. Sacrifice and discipline rather than self-absorption come naturally when we envision a goal. The faith chapter (Hebrews 11) shows what ordinary people can accomplish when they have vision. We are to imitate our Elder Brother, reflecting His example in our daily lives, becoming metaphorical lights to an unenlightened world. Because all sin and all overcoming start in the mind, we desperately need to bring our thoughts into captivity, focusing our minds on the fruit of victory over sin and the transcendental goal of serving in God's Kingdom as family members.
