🏃‍♂️ It’s time to stop standing still and start running the race of faith. You can study the course, get the right shoes, and train for months—but none of it matters if you never run. Hebrews 12:1–2 calls us to step onto the track and move forward in faith, with endurance, perseverance, and our eyes fixed on Jesus. In this message, Pastor Mike Rue unpacks what it means to run the race set before us—to live the Christian life with endurance, to throw off every weight and sin that slows us down, and to run with motivation, knowing that Jesus has already run before us and runs beside us. 🔹 Part of our series: Running the Race 🔹 Key Passage: Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV) 🔹 Main points: 1️⃣ Run with endurance 2️⃣ Run without restraints 3️⃣ Run with motivation No matter how steep your hills or how long your miles, you are not running alone.
