Based on Philippians 3:12-16, this special series of lessons will urge us all to be more forward-oriented in our thinking.  While there are certainly blessings in this world that come from serving God, our greater emphasis should be on what is yet to come.  These lessons will help us to balance the lesser part of Christianity (the “already”) with the greater part (the “not yet”).

     Gary Henry, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee is our speaker in this special series and we are excited to have him back.  Gary is the author of a series of devotional books designed to encourage people to take God more seriously.  His excellent first installment, Diligently Seeking God, was presented as a series of sermons in April 2005 and can be listened to below.

     Gary’s latest work, Reaching Forward, is motivation to move ahead more steadily.  In Gary’s words:

     Is there anything about tomorrow worth reaching for?  Reaching Forward will give you a higher vision of tomorrow, while reminding you of today’s simple duties.

     Whoever you are, you’ve made mistakes.  Your past is marred and broken.  But you also have a future – and that future depends upon the choices you are making right now.

     Don’t settle for what you were yesterday.  Reaching Forward is about stretching ourselves and pressing ahead.  Are you ready to reach for the better things?  What about the best things?

     We hope you’ll join us for this special 4-day opportunity to have your attitude adjusted and your perspective refreshed.
