Hebrews: Running With Endurance

This sermon focuses on Hebrews 11:39-12:2, using the metaphor of running a race with endurance to describe the Christian life. Pastor Stephen explains that while Old Testament believers ran hoping for the promise to come, Christians today run knowing the promise has already come through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes the need to lay aside both weights (burdens, pride, excessive responsibilities) and sins that hinder our spiritual race. He explains that all believers are being chased by three things: the flesh, the world, and the enemy, making it essential to run rather than sit still. The key to enduring this race is fixing our eyes on Jesus, who is both the founder and perfecter of our faith, and who endured the cross for the joy set before Him.
