    This message concentrates on the fact that not everyone receives rewards from Christ and four of the things we need to be doing to make sure that we do.

    BIG POINT: “Not everyone is rewarded by Christ.” - vv. 24a, 27b. - v. 24a makes it clear that being in the race does not mean you win a prize (although I think the analogy breaks down at the idea that only one person could win a prize). - v. 27b is talking about being disqualified for a prize, ...read more
