Run the Race

from HopeInMadison · host Andy Wulff

Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.(1 Corinthians 9:25-27, ESV) I've been on a bit of journey this year. And I want to tell you about it. It's been difficult and painful at times. It's been revealing and enlightening (in several ways). But it's been a journey. This week, between series, I want to take some time to talk to you about what God has taught me in the last 9 months, while I made an attempt to evaluate and change some things in my life. This won't be an "Andy is awesome" sermon or a drive-by guilt trip, but hopefully it will become an encouragement to lean into Jesus for all that He is. Also this week, we are giving our Treehouse workers a week off as we prepare to go full-steam ahead for the coming school year. We will have some activities for the kids. And we will still have a full Playground slate of classes. Next week I'm excited to start our fall series Living In Hope: A Study of 1 Peter. If you want to get ahead, begin reading through this great book that points us to the only source of hope, Jesus.
