    "Run the Race" VBS wrap-up sermon. True Christian living can be compared to an Olympic-style race. With the crowd in place and the prize set before us, we have everything we need to run.

    1. Feeding off our Encouragement (12:1a—cloud of witnesses) 2. Getting rid of our Encumbrances (12:1b—lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us) 3. Building up our Endurance (12:1c—let us run with patience the race that is set before us) 4. Looking to our Example ...read more

    Independence Day: This message looks at what the NT says about fighting; and it reflects on the initial battles of the American Revolution, with an application toward the spiritual conflict that we face in America today.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Run to the Roar.” The Fourth of July is a national holiday that many churches recognize; one which “celebrates America’s Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of England under King George the III.”(1) I find it interesting that we have a day ...read more

    Fifth in this series. The Parable of the Ten Virgins shows that I cannot live on someone else's oil.

    I still remember my first date with Mary. I know that she was really impressed when I picked her up in my banana yellow Ford Pinto, especially since it was the middle of summer and that car had no air conditioning – unless you call rolling down both windows and driving as fast as that car ...read more

    In order to reach people with the truth of the Gospel, we must be willing to accept 1) Self-Denial (v.19-23) and be willing to practice 2) Self -Control (v. 24-27)

    After any election, like the recent municipal one, newly elected counselors have a particularly hard calling. They realize that not everyone voted for them yet they must work on behalf of everyone. In Corinth, Paul had the difficult task of working in two distinct cultures: that of Jewish ...read more

    It is easy to want to give up and drop out of the running. God does not want us to become weary and lose heart. Brethren, We have come too far to turn back now. How are we to run the this race of life?

    KEEP ON RUNNING THE RACE Hebrews 12:1-4 The Bible is full of references to Sports. Warren Wiersbe said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would read the sports page. He often talks about running in a race, the victor’s crown, even about boxing. The writer of Hebrews also used ...read more

    This sermon explores the tension between the accomplishments of the faithful and their character and discovers that Jesus fills the gap between righteousness and our character.

    Running The Race Hebrews 12:1-12 SICC 9/22/02 CONFLICT INTRODUCTION The image of chapter 11 is a great one. The saints of old cheering us on so that we finish the race.

    A person don't just decide the day before a Marathon to run! They have to train, keep their focus, and not look back. The Christian has to have the same desire to train and RUN!

    Perhaps you’ve run into some difficulties recently: your boss, an illness, conflicts in family. You’ve pleaded with the Lord for relief. But He may have said in response, “Toughen up. Dig in. It may get worse.” And then He asks you to “run with horses."

    Opening illustration: Can you imagine what it would be like to be at a track meet waiting for the start of the 100 meter race? Gathered together are the top runners from across the world. Fractions of a second separate these runners. While the marathon is a test of stamina and endurance, the 100 ...read more

    How many of you have ever watched the olympics on tv? Isn’t it amazing how fast those people are? There is this one guy from the country of Morrocco that ran a mile in 3 minutes and 43 seconds.

    This was a sermon that I preached for some new chaplains. It could be turned into a good sermon for a civilian setting with a different illustration.

    Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 We’ve been through a lot in our pasts. We’ve all gone to school for a long time. We have some very successful civilian ministries. In the last five weeks – we’ve gone through some good training Now what? What do we do now? It would be easy to sit on our laurels. ...read more
