Sermon Recap
When you’re running a race, even the slightest addition of weight can slow you down. In this self-reflective sermon, Dr. Brian Keesler expounds upon Hebrews 12:1-2 before asking listeners to search their own hearts for anything that may be keeping them from running their race with endurance. These hidden weights may include bitterness, unforgiveness, pride, etc. The Christian life is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Therefore, it is imperative that we uncover and strip off any hidden burdens that may hinder our journey.
Scripture References
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, 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, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV)
