    Running Your Race

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 5,087 views

    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

    Some were content just to see Jesus, others just to hear His voice, but for one woman, the only thing that would satisfy her need within was to actually make physical contact with Him -- she MUST TOUCH HIM! Are you content with less?
