In the book of Hebrews chapter 13, the apostle Paul describes the life journey of a Christian as a race. How do we run the race to win? We want to run with endurance, not aimlessly but with purpose, and with intention. As we look over the first eight verses in Hebrews 13 we gain practical pieces and distinguishing features of running our race to win, both as individuals and as a church body.

The purpose of our relationship with Jesus is first to believe and then to follow. We each struggle with trying to imitate Jesus each day – especially when it comes to denying self and suffering. Listen to hear stories of the faith and be encouraged about how we can reshape our thinking to help us overcome this struggle and take up our cross daily.

Today we consider Him, Jesus, the greatest hero of the faith, and learn about how we, too can run the race of faith with endurance. We can get MORE excited as we run the race, over years and through trials, as we grow deeper in our faith and understand more fully the joy set before us!
