The Runner’s Race
Hebrews 12:1-2
Introduction.
Taking a break from Hebrews only to return to Hebrews.
I’ve never really been an athlete.
Marching band, PE.
Always got discouraged.
Easy to quit.
Now I have some (limited amount) of experience.
A few passages (1 Cor. 9:24-27; 2 Tim. 2:5; 4:7; Heb. 12:1-2).
Comparing my experiences with the Christian walk.
Body.
Past failures.
Start slowly (find out what works for you; study up; enjoyable; rewards; do more).
Cross train (injury; study up; ask an expert; gear; invest).
Don’t give up! (recovery)
