Finishing Well: Running Your Race with Purpose and Faith | 11/1/26

In this powerful farewell sermon, Pastor Ruth reflects on what it means to finish well in every season of life as she transitions into retirement after serving on the pastoral team. Drawing from Psalm 92 and the example of Caleb, she challenges listeners of all ages to continue growing spiritually, guard their hearts, and fulfil their God-given potential. Pastor Ruth addresses the reality that most people stop serving during life transitions—not from conflict or loss of faith—and emphasises the critical importance of community in staying connected to God's purpose. She shares seven characteristics of people who finish well, including cultivating intimacy with Christ, maintaining spiritual disciplines, and serving others. With honest reflections on aging, transitions, and the courage it takes to keep pressing on like the Apostle Paul, this message encourages believers to run their race with intention, discover their calling, and bear fruit at every stage of life. flbc.org.au
