Running, Disciplining & Enduring | Letters to the Church

This week’s passage — Hebrews 12:1–14 — offers us two striking and deeply pastoral images: A runner pressing on with perseverance, and God as a disciplining parent. These aren’t just helpful metaphors — they are invitations to reframe how we see our hardship and suffering. Rather than signs of failure, these moments may actually be where God is most at work, shaping us for the race ahead. We will wrestle with the significance of the great cloud of witnesses, imagine what it means to fix our eyes on Jesus, explore the theology of Concurrence and be be invited to see God's hand at work in all parts of our lives. It is sure to be an exciting Sunday, and we hope to share it with you.
