Running the Race of Faith

All Saints Presbyterian Church

The sermon, based on Hebrews 12:1-3, exhorts believers to persevere in their Christian journey as if running a race. It draws encouragement from the "cloud of witnesses"—faithful individuals from scripture and history—who endured challenges by faith. Benjamin highlights three key points: the inspiration from past saints, the necessity of laying aside weights and sins that hinder progress, and fixing our focus on Jesus Christ as the ultimate example and source of strength. Believers are called to prioritize their spiritual race over worldly distractions, trusting in Christ as the author and sustainer of their faith. Through His example of endurance and triumph, Christians are assured of victory and glorification. The message concludes with a call to diligent self-examination and a steadfast focus on Christ.
