“…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,…” Hebrews 12:1b
When we look back over the past couple of years and then look ahead to our plans and goals for the coming years, what general picture do we see? Are we more clearly seen as sitting under a shade treat sipping our favorite beverage, or are we actively, passionately serving the One who saved our souls and gave us eternal life? The beautiful words of Hebrews 12:1-2 call to us to put aside the things that slow us from being able to live for God with our whole being. We need to consider what things unnecessarily keep us from being and doing all that God would want.
Plan to join with us this Thursday morning to dig into Hebrews 12 and find ways we can better live for God. Chapter 9 will be the lesson for this week.
