3 – I see a similar idea at Philippians 3:12b-14.

○     I press toward God’s call on my life.  I’m not finished yet.

○     One thing I do:

·      Reaching forward (always forward).

·      Press toward the goal of becoming the man God made me to be (destiny, calling).

4 – For our team it’s much the same.
