Homework:

• Memorize Philippians 3: 20
• Review memory work of last four weeks, Philippians 1: 4-5; 2: 4-5; 3: 8; 3: 14
• Prayerfully consider your relationship with Christ and the three questions posed at the end of this lesson:
       1. Do you accept Jesus for who he is?
       2. Are you willing to change your life?
       3. Are you willing to surrender to Him and accept His gift of eternal life?

If your answer is yes to all three, but you have never confessed that decision publicly, contact your pastor or youth leader to let them know.
