DON'T GIVE UP: THROW OFF THE WEIGHT

Speaker: Fred Sigle

SUNDAY LESSON, 10/23/22
 
DON’T GIVE UP: THROW OFF THE WEIGHT
Hebrews 12:1-3
 
Sunday is lesson 3 of our sermon series and small group study, “DON’T GIVE UP”.  We are studying from Hebrews 12:1-3 where the writer describes our life in Christ as a marathon race.  Last week we looked at “the great cloud of witnesses” from Hebrews 11 that have already crossed the finish line and are now with our Heavenly Father cheering us on.
This week we will be looking at the “weight” that hinders our walk with Christ.  The writer urges us to “THROW OFF THE  WEIGHT” so that we can make it across the finish line.
Come join us this Sunday.
HEBREWS 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
