Mark the Summit | CLIMB Series — Week 4
“Not that I have already obtained all this… but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”
— Philippians 3:12–14
What if the reason you feel empty isn’t because you failed…
but because you reached the wrong summit?
In Week 4 of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe challenges us to confront one of the deepest human struggles: giving everything we have to reach a goal, only to arrive and realize we still haven’t arrived. Careers, success, influence, financial stability—even spiritual accomplishments—can feel like summits until we stand there and sense something is still missing.
The problem isn’t effort.
The problem is direction.
In this message, you’ll discover:
⛰️ Why human achievement can never fully satisfy an eternal soul
🎯 What Paul meant when he said he had not yet “attained” what Christ wanted for him
❤️ The difference between sinless performance and complete formation
📍 How Jesus redefines the summit from success to calling
🔥 Why striving gives way to purpose when Jesus marks the summit
Paul reminds us that knowing Christ and living His purposes are not assumed — they are pursued. Jesus didn’t just forgive us; He possessed us so that we could become everything we were created to be. When He marks the summit, the climb is no longer about proving ourselves — it becomes about responding to His call.
Sometimes, reaching the true summit means going down first — letting go of past accomplishments, redefining success, and starting over with Jesus leading the way.
📖 Scripture: Philippians 3:12–14; Galatians 6:9
