Run The Race | Hebrews 12:1-2 | Johnny Graves

In this message from our Summer in the Scriptures series, Youth and Young Adult Director Johnny Graves walks through Hebrews 12:1-2 and the call to run the Christian life with endurance. Looking back at the great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 11, Johnny challenges us to take inventory of our lives, cast aside both the unnecessary weights that slow us down and the sin that clings so closely, and faithfully run the race God has set before us. The Christian life requires patience, purpose, and endurance, but we do not run alone or without direction—we run with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. Whatever mile of the race you find yourself in today, keep running, cast aside what holds you back, and fix your eyes on Jesus.
