on sunday, one of our sis(sis gwen) preached and her sermon title is stated above.
Hebrews 12: 1-3- 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance th race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.
3 consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
Throw it off!
how?
3RS:
1. Repentence (1 John 1:8-9)
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess ous sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to clense us from all unrightousness.
2. Release (col 3:13-14)
13 Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, you also must do.
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
3. Reconcile relationships (1 cor 1:10)
10 Now i plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.
Lastly, to win the Race, you have to fix your eyes on Jesus.Labels: don't be a loner but run the race with God
