    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 1, 2015
     | 5,866 views

    We must learn to lay everything aside and renew our fellowship and communion with God. We must “keep our eyes on the prize.” We must keep our eyes fixed on Christ. We must pace ourselves when we run the race of life. Only then can we survive and win.

    Have you ever struggled with your faith? Have you ever felt like giving up? If so, the writer of the Letter to the Hebrews has a word for you---don’t! Don’t give up. The road of faith has been compared to a race. The race is not a sprint. It is a marathon. At the end of the race, we ...read more

    Moses was willing to refuse to be known as a son of Pharoah’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). If you had been Moses, could you have made the same choice? Today, we will look at Grit, Growth and Glory because those three are connected.

    FAITH MATTERS Hebrews 11: 24-26, 29-34, By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, (25) choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
