Every marathon comes with its fair share of chaffing, cramping and broken toenails. Pain is unavoidable, but God has the ability to transform us during our trials. How can we grow through our pain and find the joy that’s waiting for us at the finish line? Endurance is just one step away.

What is the most physical pain you have ever been in?

So many believers go through life wondering why they aren’t experiencing more growth in their discipleship. They try different approaches to become more like Christ, but get frustrated at the lack of results. If we want to experience the life of Christ, we must learn the secret of training to be godly.
 
Title: Training
Series: Run the Race
Text: 1 Timothy 4:6-8
Speaker: Josh Branham

The race of faith is more like a marathon than a sprint. We were not made to run this marathon alone. We were made to run together. And if we’re going to finish the race well, there are 3 types of people we need to run with.
 

Title: Teamwork 
Text: Hebrews 10:24–25
Series: Run the Race
Speaker: Jake Wright 

Everyone is running after something in life. As followers of Jesus, we are called to run the race of faith. For many Christians, following Jesus is something extra in their already crowded life. If we are going to run well, we must learn to focus on the example set for us by Jesus himself.
 
Title: Starting Line
Series: Run the Race
Text: Hebrews 12:1-2
Speaker: Josh Branham
 
Discussion/Reflection Questions:
How would you answer the question, “Why do you follow Jesus?”
What are the other things you’ve ran after in your life?
What sins or distractions hinder you from following Jesus with everything?
How will you put these things off?
What are the new things that Christ is calling you to put on?
What inspires you about Christ’s example on the cross?
What do you enjoy most about life in Christ?
