Fusion: week of 7/19

FAMILY THEME: ENDURANCE

IN FOR THE LONG HAUL

Hebrews 12

The writer of Hebrews encouraged believers to not only

start their races well but to finish well. He reminds us to 

let go of the things that weigh us down and to run with

endurance.

1.  Endurance Begins with Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus

     (Hebrews 12:1-3)

     It is crucial that believers remove any hindrances or

     burdens that could weigh them down or hinder their 

     progress as they run their race.

 
2.  Endurance Requires Accepting God's Loving Discipline

     (Hebrews 12:4-17)

     God disciplines His children when they go astray.

 
3.  Endurance Calls for a Proper Perspective

     (Hebrews 12:18-29)

     A relationship was made available by the sacrifice of 

     Jesus, whose offering was better than anything else

     before or after.
