    Around here in Boston Patriots Day is famously known for “The Boston Marathon” in which runners from all over the world participate. I watched with keen interest as the gun shot went off for the 116th Boston Marathon. Upmost in every ones mind was the question “Who will get the ...read more

    The Conditioning In Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
     | 9,971 views

    Many believers suffer "burn-out" or from lack of preparation. Like any other pursuit, if we are to be effective in service, we must make the proper preparations and condition ourselves spiritually.

    The Conditioning in Discipleship 1 Corinthians 9: 24-27 Over the past several weeks we have been discussing discipleship and what the Scripture reveals about being a disciple of Christ. I am convinced the Lord desires every believer to be a disciple, but discipleship is not immediate following ...read more

     | 2,989 views

    A call to copy the faith of our team-mates in the cross-country relay race of life... looking to God and trusting Him through the mud and the pain... because we have another city and different treasure... a prize that is worth the struggle.

    Intro… The title I’ve got for you today is, “What is faith?” Hopefully by the end of what I’ve got to say, we’ll not only know what faith is, but we will be able to live it. And to help us along the road we’re going to have assistance from two old pros who we’re going to meet shortly. Hebrews… The ...read more

    Don't Quit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,062 views

    Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

    Opening illustration: In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more

    No one is impressed with the guy who registers for a marathon. But no matter where a person finishes a marathon, it is impressive. Same with God. It is not impressive to start well, only to finish well.

    COMPLETING THE RACE! HEBREWS 12:1-4 (1-13) Pastor Jim Bohrer November 30, 2008 With all the pomp and prestige that the Chinese government went to in order to put their best foot forward, there was one person who they honored who stood out.

     | 5,267 views

    Athletic history records some leaps from worst to first. For example, the Minnesota Twins finished last in their division in 1990, yet came back to win the World Series in 1991, illustrating the maxim, “ it’s not how you begin, it’s how you finish!”

    Being a Finisher Text: Hebrews 10: 32-39 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so ...read more
