Finish Well

ALL IN Pt. 3 |  SEPTEMBER 6, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisHebrews 12:1-2 (NLT) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.√  WE DRIFT.Hebrews 2:1 (NLT) So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.√  WE TRY TO DO IT ALONE. Hebrews 10:24–25 (NLT) Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together…√  WE GET DISTRACTED.Luke 10:40-42 (NLT) But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, ‘Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.’ But the Lord said to her, ‘My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.’”FINISH WELLI. GUARD WHAT MATTERS.Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.II. LET GO OF WHAT’S SLOWING YOU DOWN.Hebrews 12:1 (NLT) Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up…III. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.II Timothy 4:6-8 (NLT) As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.

And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
