Looking to Jesus (5.23.2021)

by Rev. Don Fraker on May 23, 2021

We are running a race! All of us as followers of Jesus are running the race of faith. And, as the saying goes: “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” In Hebrews 12, which Pastor Fraker explores today, we are encouraged to be “looking to Jesus” and His powerful Word of promise. Christ has begun our faith; He will continue to perfect and finish it. That is both why we run and how we run. Join other runner-disciples today in this study of God’s Word that strengthens us to finish the race of faith well!
