Ever feel weary? Or do you feel like giving up? In this message our dear friend and visiting minister, Chris McRae, unpacks some great wisdom and practical encouragement from the book of Hebrews from chapter 12: 1- 3. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Chris looks at four unique portraits of Jesus Christ from this text that give us a clear picture of who He is in the midst of every opposition: 

Jesus as finisher

Jesus as race leader(pioneer) 

Jesus enduring the cross 

Jesus with the prize at the end of the age

Be encouraged to see Christ the overcomer in your life and circumstances today! He is worthy of our laid down lives  and will never disappoint us as we keep enduring in the race.
