Truly Epic...Jesus Christ and the power of an indestructible life
Run Hard - Faith endures
Todd Dugard
Hebrews 12:1-3
When you have a faith that endures,
…you model your life on those who went before you (v1a)
...resolving to “run the race” as they did (v1b-2)
…getting rid of all excess weight
…purging sin from your life
…and setting your sights on the prize
…filling your thoughts with Jesus (v3a)
…because we all “grow weary and fainthearted” at times. (v3b)
