Run the Race… Eyes on Jesus
Sermon Passage: Hebrews 12:1-4
Introduction: I’ve often said that the Christian life is not a playground but a battleground. Along the way, every Christian will struggle with discouraging circumstances, disgusting people, personal defeats and depressing feelings of doubt. The writer of Hebrews, (I believe is Paul) compares the Christian life to an athlete running a grueling long-distance race and how we run the race has eternal consequences.
