Hebrews 12:1-3 - "Encouragement to Endure"

The Christian life is an endurance race. And it’s easy for us to lose heart and lose focus on our ultimate goal, Jesus Christ. We get hit with tough news. We lose a job. A relationship goes south. We can’t shake a sin struggle. Maybe we’re tempted to go back to our old ways, or to choose comfort or complacency. The good news is that, no matter what our life circumstances are, when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we can run and finish our race well. Focusing on Jesus allows us to run with encouragement, without encumbrances, and with a perfect example.
