Text: Hebrews 12:1-3

Throughout Scripture, the Christian life is often referred to as a 'race.' This description reminds us that when a person puts their faith in Christ, God takes them from their old path and direction and places them onto a new path that accomplishes His purposes for their life. However, we shouldn’t be satisfied with merely being in the race. God has called us to run well and has even given us instructions on how to run to win.

This morning, with guest speaker Richard Seefried, we are going to look at six daily disciplines that we must incorporate into our lives. Christianity is not a week-by-week experience, but a day-by-day experience. In the book of Acts, the early church did certain things DAILY, which explains why the church grew so phenomenally. So today we are going to look at six verses in the Bible and I want you to note the word 'daily' or 'day by day' in each of them.

Through all the creation and all throughout the Scriptures, God reveals that there is nothing He can’t do. Many of us know the logical fact that God can do the impossible. However, even though we know the truth, we can easily doubt His ability and His willingness to do the impossible in our own personal lives. Be sure to listen to this week's message so that you can overcome doubt and experience the victory and the joy that Christ offers through faith.

Text: Luke 1:5-25,57-79

Christmas in our culture has become a time of much celebration; however, much of it has nothing to do with Christ. Christmas should be all about the grace and goodness of God! We are celebrating the fact that God so loved the world that He graciously came to earth and dwelt among us, lived a perfect life, and suffered for our sin in our place thus making a way for us to be with Him for all eternity. This simple truth demands a response from everyone. God gave Himself for us. There is only one appropriate response - to believe in Him!

Are you living in victory today? We all want victory in our lives, but God’s plan for victory is very different than the world’s. The world tries to convince us that we are the source of our own victories in life. This sounds good and appeals to our sinful nature, but it is a complete lie. If our victory is found in our abilities, strength, position, wealth, etc., it will fail because it is based on that which is temporary and not eternal. This message reveals the key to living in true victory. The answer is simple but life changing. Please be sure to listen today so that you experience victory from this day forward.

Be sure to listen to this message today to learn from a real-life example of how God can turn your pains into powerful displays of His glory.

Be sure to listen to today’s message to find hope in your situation and discover what God wants you to do.
