In it to Win It

Sunday, May 20, 2012

Hebrews 12:1-2 If you're a Christ follower you're in a race. When you became a Christian, you entered the race and you will run it until the day you die. There is no question that you will finish and you will make it safely to heaven.

But life has a way of beating us down. It has a way of taking our joy. The struggles we face every day sometimes cause us to want to coast along and just be satisfied with crossing the finish line. Paul tells us that we have to keep our eyes on the prize - not just finishing, but winning! Dr. Merritt shows us how to maintain our momentum in the race of life in his message, "In It To Win It".
