Podcasts about run the race

A little reminder piggy backing off Hilton's preach this morning on what it looks like to keep the faith and finish the race

Many people today are racing after careers, success, possessions, status, or even the achievements of their children. But in today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that Christians are running a far greater race—one that is not about personal glory, but about God's glory and the advance of the Gospel. The apostle Paul understood this race well. He was willing to go any distance, endure any hardship, and sacrifice personal comfort in order to win people to Christ. Paul knew that in the end, what matters most is what we have done for the Lord. Unlike worldly races, the Christian race is not a competition against other believers. We run against obstacles, temptations, spiritual opposition, and the enemy of our souls. God does not desire only one of His children to win—He wants every believer to run faithfully and receive the imperishable crown. Dr. Youssef explains that running well requires self-control and spiritual discipline. Like an athlete who trains his body through sacrifice, believers must discipline their desires, choices, habits, and priorities. If you feel weary, defeated, or disqualified, do not believe the enemy's lie. You can get back into the race. God wants you to be victorious in His Son. Prayer: Jesus, give me the strength, will, and focus to run after You. I know You are the one who sustains me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:24). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Diligent Teacher with Lisa Earl A Bible podcast for ladies Ep318 - Run the race with patience, part 2

Sunday AM - David

Running the race of grace: Start with the cross, stay fueled by prayer, crash through quitting points. When you hit the wall, surrender to God. Proclaim His goodness to others. Fix your eyes on Jesus—He'll lead you home. Don't focus on failures; focus on the Finisher.

Gary Chorpenning brings the message this week, focusing on Hebrews 12:1-3. He encourages us that this race we are running is a challenging course in this fall world full of thorns and thistles. But we can do it by fixing our eyes on Jesus. Passages: Hebrews 12:1-3; 1 John 1:1-4

Welcome! We Are Glad You Are Here!Today we are in Hebrews 12:1-3By Faith - Run The RaceFollow along in the following verses in order of presentationHebrews 12:1–3, 2 Timothy 2:5, 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Philippians 3:12–14, Hebrews 2:17–18

In this passage, we’re reminded that the Christian life is not about simply starting well, but finishing faithfully. Learn why spiritual discipline, perseverance, and keeping our eyes on Christ are essential as we run the race God has set before us

In this passage, we’re reminded that the Christian life is not about simply starting well, but finishing faithfully. Learn why spiritual discipline, perseverance, and keeping our eyes on Christ are essential as we run the race God has set before us

The sermon explores the metaphor of the Christian life as a race requiring endurance, drawing primarily from Hebrews 12. It outlines three essential means for persevering: emulating the faithful examples of the cloud of witnesses, laying aside every weight and sin through disciplined repentance, and fixing one's gaze on Jesus Christ. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus serves as both the pioneer who blazed the path and the perfecter who sustains believers through suffering. By despising shame for the joy set before Him, Christ enables Christians to endure hardships with hope and purpose. The message concludes with an exhortation to keep running the race by relying on Christ's strength and the support of the community of faith.

This week, we begin a series of standalone sermons by looking at Hebrews 12:1-2. This passage is full of imagery that describes faith as a race. In it, we will learn the importance of the truth that faith is not a solo activity, but a commitment to live in community. The author of Hebrews goes on to challenge Christians to live with endurance and lay aside anything holding them back from pursuing Jesus. These timeless reminders contain many applications to our lives today. By God's grace, we can "run the race" of our lives for His glory and our good. Key Verses: Hebrews 12:1-2

Are you running the race God designed for you? In this message, Executive Pastor Mike Mossburg unpacks Hebrews 12:1–3 and reminds us that the moment we trusted Christ, we were placed at the starting line of a lifelong marathon — one God has already prepared us for.Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10, 2 Timothy 4:7, and the powerful story of a Japanese Olympic marathoner who finished his race 54 years later, Mike challenges believers to shed the weight that slows them down, run with endurance, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus — the author and finisher of our faith.Whether you've never started your race, or you stopped somewhere along the way, this message is for you. Jesus is standing right next to you today asking the same question he asked Peter: "Do you want to finish?"

Preaching: Andrew Becham "Run the Race" Hebrews 11:32-40

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (HCSB), Hebrews 12:1-2 (HCSB)

The theme for Today's meditation is Running the Race based selections from Galatians chapter 5; Amos chapter 5; 2 Timothy chapters 2 and 4; Hebrews chapter 12; Romans chapter 5; Proverbs chapter 18; 1 Corinthians chapter 9; Philippians chapters 2 and 3; and Isaiah chapter 40. Throughout Scriptures we are encouraged to run with endurance. Endurance comes from practice, from training and from a commitment to finish what we've started. In this case, it is to see our faith to its end. To finish our life here having done all we could do to be faithful to the one who loves us most. We are cheered by those whom God has chosen to walk with us - no, to run with us – along side as we depend on each other for encouragement and support.

Endurance is not just about strength—it's about focus. In Part 2 of Run With Endurance, we shift our attention to the One who makes finishing possible: Jesus. Drawing from Hebrews 12:2–3, the story of Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14, and Paul's relentless pursuit in Philippians 3, this episode reveals a powerful truth: when your focus drifts, your faith weakens—but when your eyes stay on Jesus, you find strength to keep going. If you've been feeling weary, distracted, or close to giving up, this episode will call you back to what matters most—fixing your eyes on Christ and pressing forward no matter what.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 31st of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Philippians 3:12: “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.” What a beautiful scripture! Then the next one just to confirm it, is found in the Book of Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,…”Oh my dear friend, there is no stopping now, no ways! There is no resting, but rather we are pressing on towards our eternal home in Heaven. You say I cannot take it anymore. The road is too hard, it is too steep, it is too narrow, it is too stony. Keep on keeping on. Do not allow any distractions to hold you back. I am thinking of the mighty Comrades Marathon - 90 odd kilometres. When you're tired, and the heat is bearing down on you and those hills are looking absolutely impossible to run over, you say to yourself, “I can't anymore”. And then what happens? A courtesy vehicle rides up, and lovely coffee, the door opens and the people inside say, ‘Look, you are looking very tired. Don't you want to stop?” But you know what happens, when you step into that vehicle, they take the number off your chest and you are disqualified. The race is over for you. Do not stop. Do not let that vehicle tempt you to throw in the towel. Then you carry on, and you carry on, and then all of a sudden you come up next to a beautiful shady tree on the side of the road, and you feel, “If I just sit down for a minute and have a rest I'll be fine.” Don't do it because you will never get up again. Keep on running the race which the Lord is running with you. You are not running on your own. Keep your eye on the finish line and never look back and I want to tell you, you will make it to the end. There is a cloud of witnesses waiting for you at the finish line, all your loved ones who have gone before you. They are clapping. Keep running, you are nearly there, and the worst thing of course is to look behind you. When you look behind you, you normally don't finish the race. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and He will see you through.Have a wonderful day, keep running the race and remember if Christ is for you, there is no man who will stand against you. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Join us as Pastor Ben continues our sermon series on the book of Hebrews with a sermon entitled "Run the Race!" from Hebrews 12:1-3.

Pastor Aaron Dailey brings an encouraging word, reminding us what we're called to, and how when it's all rooted in Jesus, it's possible to keep chasing after him, while being part of the team of his people, getting his work done in the world. 

Live your life with endurance and perseverance, shedding distractions (weights and sins) and focusing on Jesus as your guide, just like an athlete sheds heavy robes to run faster, to complete the spiritual journey God has set for you. Running the race with patience is about continuous effort, trusting God to finish what He started in you, and finding strength in Him despite the challenges.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

God didn't call you to a life on the sidelines. There's new ground God wants you to take — and it will stretch you beyond your comfort zone. That's the point.This week, we dive into what Paul really meant when he said "run in a way to get the prize"—by actually following his footsteps in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey). This week, Kyle Ranson helps us to see what he saw then, and feel what God is calling you to right now.Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

We are not merely a Sunday meeting or an organization, but a community of people formed in and by Christ. We think of ourselves as a family on mission together.

Some of us in our life have stopped running. We have stopped racing. We have stopped striving for the very best for us and our relationship with God. Get up on your feet and start fighting again. Don't settle for second best but start striving to win in everything you do! God bless your race!!
