Church family, let's stand. Let's stand today. And we're going to read in our special study,

obviously, we're in a special New Year's themed study. We're looking at a message today that

kind of conflicted because I really wanted to do, maybe I'll do it on Wednesday. I wanted to do a

message titled the Hanukkah of God,

because it's Hanukkah. But Hanukkah is the dedication of lights, the light of God. And maybe

we'll do that on Wednesday. By the way, the Jews are still celebrating Hanukkah. I think, I forget,

it ends early January, the first week of January.

But we're looking at a message today titled Every Day with Jesus in 2025.

Every day with Jesus is simply a way to remember this.

And we're going to read Philippians 3.

I'll start in verse 12, if you'll read verse 13.

And then I'll end in verse 14.

And then I'm just going to throw in a little extra verse out of Psalms, 65.

But the book of Philippians chapter 3.

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection.

But, says Paul, I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me no dear brothers and sisters I have not achieved it but I

focus on this one thing forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.

Oh, that's good.

Verse 14.

I press, so you want to forget the past, but you want to press on to reach the end of the race

and receive the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus is calling us.

And then, guys, can you put up Psalm 65-11?
