How to Let go and Press on!

In the blink of an eye, Saul the Pharisee—a zealous hunter of Christians—was transformed into Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, dedicating his life to serving the very people he once persecuted. This radical metamorphosis is the powerful backdrop of Philippians 3, proving that no resume of righteousness or record of rebellion is greater than the transforming power of Christ. If God can completely repurpose Paul, granting him the grace to let go of "Saul" and run freely toward a new purpose, we must ask ourselves a difficult question: why do we still hold ourselves accountable to our past "Saul"? As we dive into this study, we are invited to stop auditing our history and start pressing toward the upward call of God, realizing that just as Paul refused to be defined by his former self, we too must release what is behind to fully grasp the prize ahead.
