Summary/Notes:

Pastor Matthew Kelley reflects on Philippians 3:1-11,

Cautioning against drifting from the foundational joy of salvation. He warns that our flesh may grow weary of spiritual "same things," but consistency is key.

Kelley highlights the danger of "spiritual barking dogs"—negative influences that can pull us away from God's will. He challenges us to examine whether our own influence brings others closer to God or away from God.

No Christian ever outgrows their need for repentance, humility, and more of God!

The way we attain is by going back to the 'Same Things' that brought us to repentance. Humility, seeking God and remembering no matter how much we grow as Christians, we will never Graduate from needing God more.
