Don’t Grow Weary or Lose Heart: Hebrews 12:1-3

Episode Notes

What does running with endurance look like?
Remembering that you are a part of the “faith”.
  • You have received the same kind of faith as apostles. 2 Peter 1:1
  • Living by faith is the only way we can make it. Hebrews 11:2,6
Lay aside every weight that so easily entangles us: bring faith to bear
  • We live by faith that our past has been completely and fully forgiven.
  • We access our faith to fight our fear. 1 John 4:18
  • We cling to our faith when we struggle with doubt.
  • We express our faith when shame tries to silence us.  
Lay aside every sin that so easily entangles us:
  • We use the eyes of faith to see sin for what it really is.
    • It wants to have its way with you. Genesis 4:7
    • It wants to destroy you. Numbers 32:23
    • It wants to sap all the good from your life. Psalm 32:3
    • It wants to keep you from God’s will. Romans 7:15
  • I get this, but how do we lay sin aside?
    • Faith that confession will work. 1 John 1:9
    • Faith that we are not the same. 1 Corinthians 6:11
    • Faith we can live in freedom. Galatians 5:16
Fix your eyes on Jesus:
  • Fix your eyes on what He did for you:
  • Fix your eyes on why He did it:
Don’t grow weary and lose heart:
Is your torch lit? Do you really want it to be? 
Aren’t you tired of carrying those burdens that try to break you?
Don’t you think it’s long past time to deal with your sins?
What else are you waiting for? Look at Jesus & how much He loves you!
