    Running Your Race

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 5,144 views

    In this life, every single person is running a race. It’s either a race that will lead to an eternity with Jesus or it’s a race that will separate them from Jesus.

    Turn with me to Hebrews 12 and look at the last part of verse one: “… let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Each one of us is running a race. And many of us don’t know it. Whether we are sons of God on our way to an eternity with our Father, or whether we are sons of Adam ...read more
