Sermon - July 13th

Pastor Rob discussed Hebrews 12. The theme was how to run the race of life with endurance - a race that requires each of us as participants to move towards a destination, with some preparation, and always, always keeping our eyes upon Christ, the author and finisher of our faith. Then we can make the adjustments that are necessary in changing circumstances.

Paul's presentation in Hebrews 12 shows how necessary it is to give up both sin and extreme preparation since each encumbers believers and keeps them from effectively running (living) a life a faith and practice.

Here is the video that was shown to demonstrate this point:




Side note: I thought the theme of this video was that you should break in your new shoes before running - but ends up, there may actually be a deeper meaning :)

Pastor Rob also used Collin, John and Lillie to demonstrate not being prepared, being too prepared, and fitting somewhere in the middle.
