Keys To Endurance | Pastor Chris Speten
Pastor Chris Speten preaches takes the pulpit today. Consider your race right now. How well are you running? Are there things in your life (even good things) that are making it harder to run well? We should regularly evaluate our lives and reprioritize in order to keep our sights on the target. What sins do you need to repent of right now? Where do you need more self-control? What temptations do you need to remove from your life? Are you taking your sin seriously? Root it out, and ask God to help you to turn from your sin. How are you doing ‘reforming’ your mind through spiritual disciplines? Start today to be in the Word daily, talking with God regularly, and worshiping Him. Prioritize gathering with other believers, and schedule times for solitude and reflection. And finally, keep your eyes on the prize. Jesus is your example and your reward. And the Holy Spirit is your helper. Run with endurance the race set before you, and hear, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’Thanks for listening!Visit our website for more info:https://www.gracecityrome.com/
