Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life is a race \u2014 one that requires discipline, perseverance, and intentionality. We are surrounded by the legacy of those who ran before us (Hebrews 11), inspiring us to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. Pastor David explores how:   God\u2019s discipline isn\u2019t punishment \u2014 it\u2019s proof of His love.   Trials build spiritual endurance and strength.   We are called to throw off the sin and distractions that slow us down.   Fixing our eyes on Jesus gives us the courage to keep going. The discipline you\u2019re experiencing isn\u2019t God\u2019s rejection \u2014 it\u2019s His preparation. The race is long, but you\u2019re not running it alone. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the One who began your story and will faithfully finish it.
