Faith Race!
Mike Fritscher

Faith Race! Hebrews 12:1-4

Facets of Every Race!

1. Every Race Has A Course with a Start and A Finish Line!

Hebrews 11:1 Faith Is the Assurance of Things hoped For, the conviction of things not seen!

Our Finish Line: Jesus! 1 John 3:1-4

Our Course: Fulfilled Purposes!

2 Timothy 4:6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of departure has come 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing!

2. Every Race Has Examples of Inspiration! Hebrews 11:32-38

3. Every Race Demonstrates Self- Control! 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Shedding Encumbrances:

Shedding Sin: 1 Corinthians 1:1-14 (Idolatry, Immorality, Complaint)
