The Christian life is a marathon run by faith. We need to fix our eyes on Jesus—and his model of endurance in suffering—if we are to run faithfully to the end.

This week, Pastor Chris continued in our Hebrews series with a message about enduring in faith. The Christian life is like a race that requires endurance, focus, and faithfulness. God calls us to lay aside every weight that hinders us, fix our eyes on Jesus, and trust His loving discipline to shape us into His likeness. As we run, we are strengthened not only by His grace but also by the encouragement of others, enabling us to finish well and bring glory to Him.

We must lay aside every weight, including sin, fear, distraction, and ego, to run our own race with intensity and endurance. This involves shedding unnecessary burdens, avoiding distractions, and focusing on pleasing the One who called us. Scripture: Hebrews 12v1–2

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on today's date. The reading was Philippians 3:12 to 4:1. In this talk, our Nigel explores Paul's powerful metaphor of the Christian life as a race, urging us to "press on" with purpose and determination. Drawing from Paul's honest admission that he hasn't yet reached perfection, we're reminded that none of us have "arrived" spiritually. Through vivid illustrations from athletics—including Usain Bolt and pole vaulter Armand Duplantis—we're challenged to forget past failures and successes alike, straining forward towards our heavenly goal. The message encourages us to embrace the purpose for which Christ "took hold" of us, pursuing Him with the dedication of an athlete pressing through the pain barrier towards the finishing line.

On this episode of Day by Day, our Journey Through Romans, Dr. Clif Johnson encourages listeners to keep persevering in their faith, reminding them that they're never alone because God's spirit is with them, and highlighting the importance of prayer and support for others on their spiritual journey.

I have known trades-people attend church for the mere sake of getting the custom of those who went there. I have heard of such things as people knowing which side their bread was buttered, and going to that particular denomination, where they thought they could get the most by it. Loaves and fishes drew some of Christ's followers, and they are very attracting baits, even to this day.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about what it means for a christian to “run the race”. In 1 Corinthians 9, the Apostle Paul compares the christian life to an athlete running a race to win a prize. As believers, we have the privilege of running this race not just to survive, but we can run with purpose and intention. God not only gives us the power to start well, He also provides guidance through the Holy Spirit to maneuver through life's obstacles. And through His son Jesus, we also have been given the endurance to finish the race strong.    Scripture reference: Hebrews 11:8-12, Hebrews 12:1-2, Colossians 3:5-17, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Philippians 3:12-14, 2 Timothy 4:6-7, Revelation 1:8, Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 1:3.    Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

 I'm not saying that it will continue either in running or other areas of life, but we all need to be trained and ready to move forward in the future.

This message is by Bill Parker and taken from Hebrews 12. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Tom, age seven, admired his dad’s shiny trophies from school track events sitting on a shelf. He thought, I want one of those for my bedroom. So he asked, “Dad, can I have one of your trophies?” The man surprisingly answered, “No, Tom, those are mine. I earned them, and you can earn your own.” Then they made a plan that if he ran around the block in a certain amount of time (he knew his son could do it), he would give him a trophy of his own. Tom practiced with his dad’s guidance, and a week later his dad cheered him on as ran the race in time. Tom learned lessons in self-discipline and hard work, and his dad congratulated him with an award. Proverbs 1:8 encourages children to “listen . . . to your father’s instruction.” Tom’s dad also taught him about running the race of life with Jesus and listening to His leading. He instructed him about choosing “what is right and just and fair,” as the father in Proverbs did (v. 3). A father’s teachings are valuable: “a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck” (v. 9). You may not have a father to instruct you in your race with Christ. But God can lead you to a mentor who can pass along their wisdom. Or perhaps God is calling you to mentor someone. He’ll give you guidance as you’re active with others in running the race.

Running the Race What if your greatest legacy isn't about how loud you start—but how faithfully you finish? In this week's message, Dr. Patti Amsden explores what it means to run your race with heaven in mind and purpose in hand. Drawing from Paul's final words to Timothy, she challenges us to live like the heroes of faith—those who laid hold of eternal realities and brought them into earthly timelines.  We're reminded that we are not just called to endure life—we are called to transform it. With one hand on heaven and one on earth, we can live with purpose, be transformed by the Spirit, and make manifest the promises of God in our generation.  This isn't just about crossing the finish line—it's about running in such a way that heaven touches earth through you.  2 Timothy 4:6-8, Hebrews 12:1-2 Discussion topics Read 2 Timothy 4:6-8 -What stands out to you about Paul's view of his life as a “finished race”?  How do you think Paul maintained endurance through hardship?  Discuss - Dr. Patti said we are meant to “bring heaven into our timeline.”– What does that look like in your everyday life? Romans 8:26 - Who are some “witnesses” in your life that inspire you to keep running your race?  What are some “weights” or sins that can slow down our spiritual race?  Read Hebrews 12:1-2 - What does it look like to live by faith when your circumstances haven't changed?  What would it mean for you to “rejoice in the Lord” this week, even when the “fig tree does not bud”?  Personal Reflection & Action: What's one thing you'll do this week to actively pursue your race—whether in prayer, obedience, relationships, or discipline?  Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next
