    It's not just how you start—it's how you finish. In this final message of the Start Strong series, Pastor Hazen Stevens calls us to persevere when the summit is only halfway. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the apostle Paul's life across decades, we're reminded that endurance is not just for sprinters but for finishers. Through biblical insight and stories like Gabriela Andersen-Schiess's iconic Olympic finish, we're challenged to press on, even when it hurts.Key Scriptures:Hebrews 12:1–3, 2 Timothy 4:6–8, 1 Corinthians 9:24–26, Philippians 3:13–14Main Points:1. Start Strong – Count the cost and begin with the end in mind (Luke 14:25–34)2. Stay Strong – Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus in the middle of the race (Matt. 13:44–45)3. Finish Strong – Endure opposition and don't grow weary or lose heart (Heb. 12:3)4. Paul's own race metaphor develops across his life: from active pressure (Corinthians), to deep surrender (Philippians), to final faithfulness (2 Timothy)4. “The summit is only halfway”—faith finishes what it starts➤ For more, visit presencecenteredlife.com#StartStrong #FinishStrong #PresenceCenteredLife #EnduranceInFaith #Hebrews12 #PaulFinishedTheRace #SundaySermon #GateCityBuckhead #ChristianPodcast #RunToWin

    In this powerful follow-up to Start Strong, Pastor Hazen Stevens challenges us to live with wholehearted devotion and long-term endurance. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, we discover that true strength doesn't come from comfort—it comes from vision. We stay strong when we believe the joy on the other side of surrender is greater than the cost.This message unpacks historical stories like the Black Prince's Ruby and Mel Fisher's discovery of the Atocha treasure to illustrate how unseen value calls for all-in sacrifice. Just like the merchant who sold everything for one pearl, staying strong means seeing what others don't—and acting in faith before the world understands.Key Scriptures:Hebrews 12:1–2, Matthew 13:44–46, Matthew 6:19–20, 2 Timothy 4:6–8Main Points:1. The Kingdom is worth everything—joy makes the cost possible2. Surrender is not loss, but the wisest investment of all3. Faith lets us see what's hidden and walk through pain with purpose4. The reward of endurance is far greater than the world's applause5. Many quit not for lack of belief, but because the cost feels too high—yet infinite joy is still on offer➤ For sermon notes and more, visit presencecenteredlife.com#StartStrong #StayStrong #PresenceCenteredLife #KingdomTreasure #JoyOfSurrender #EnduringFaith #Matthew13 #Hebrews12 #GateCityBuckhead #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon

    In this powerful message, Pastor Hazen Stevens teaches that the Kingdom of God is worth more than anything we could ever give up to gain it. Like a man who joyfully sells everything to buy a hidden treasure, we're called to radical surrender—not out of duty, but out of delight. The true cost is not what we lose, but what we miss if we don't see the value of the Kingdom now. Key Scriptures: Hebrews 12:1–2, Matthew 13:44–46, Matthew 6:19–20 Main Points: 1. The Kingdom's value is hidden to some—but revealed to those who seek 2. Surrender is not loss, but wise investment in eternal treasure 3. People sacrifice everything for earthly wealth—how much more for what lasts forever? 4. We don't want too much—we want too little 5.

    In this opening message of the Start Strong series, Pastor Hazen Stevens challenges us to begin the year not with impulse, but with intention. Jesus told us to “count the cost” of discipleship—because unfinished towers and unplanned battles lead to loss. Drawing from Scripture and stories of victory and failure, this message calls us to build wisely, prepare thoroughly, and follow Jesus with resolve.Key Scriptures: Luke 14:28–33, Proverbs 24:3–6, Ephesians 6:12, Psalm 90:12Main Points:1.

The question isn't if He is King—it's how you'll respond.Key Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:7, Matthew 2:11, John 18:33–36, Matthew 25:31–32Main Points:1.

The call is simple: PRAY, SERVE, GIVE, FORM, and REACH—because the blessing wasn't just for us.

Keystone changes aren't just helpful habits; they are turning points that lead to lasting transformation. Examples include practicing Sabbath rest (making you Healthy), receiving inner healing (making you Whole), and surrendering your life fully to God (making you Holy).Key Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Peter 1:3, Isaiah 61:1, Romans 12:1, Psalm 37:3–5Main Points:1.
