Let Us Run

Speaker: Robert Lee What could God do if you gave the next year of your life to truly knowing Him? This message centers on the two greatest commands from The Gospel of Matthew 22:36–39: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind—and to love others as yourself. These aren’t just ideals; they are the foundation for building a life that aligns with what matters most to God. We explore how the Church responds corporately to these commands—through a life of prayer (loving God) and a life on mission (loving others). Discipleship isn’t about producing leaders, but forming wholehearted followers of Jesus who know Him deeply, become like Him, and make Him known. Drawing from The Epistle to the Hebrews 12, we’re invited to “run the race” with endurance—laying aside distractions and fixing our eyes on Jesus. This race is not a sprint but a lifelong pursuit, sometimes marked by intense seasons of growth and surrender. The love of Christ compels us (2 Corinthians 5:14–15). It moves us to pray, to give, and to go. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9 that the harvest is plentiful, but laborers are few—inviting us into partnership with Him in seeing God’s will done on earth. At the core of it all: Jesus Himself is the reward. Not outcomes, not ministry success—but Him. His zeal sustains the mission and guarantees its fulfillment (Isaiah 9:7). The call is simple but costly: Will you plant your life in the local church? Will you take ownership of God’s Kingdom where He has placed you? Like a seed falling into the ground (John 12), true fruit comes through surrender. This message is an invitation—to run, to love, to give your life fully to Jesus, and to become a spiritual mother or father who helps others follow Him.
