Title:
L. Gregory Jones - "Eyes on the Prize" (October 3, 1999)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 02:30. Sermon end time: 20:14.

  • Paul's exhortation in Philippians 3 to forget what lies behind and focus on what lays ahead is not intended to discount the past. Rather, it is a reminder to never allow ourselves to become stuck in traditionalism––that is, a desire to live in the past––but to take the tradition and move it into the future with our eyes fixed on Jesus. This was the vision of the initial founders of Duke, and it is one we must continue. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: “Let us always be heirs of tradition without being captured by traditionalism. Let us look forward to the future. In so doing, let us focus on Christ Jesus.”
