As believers, the Lord calls us to "run with endurance" as we live for Him and deal with spiritual warfare and a world that opposes Him. Thankfully, He has already guaranteed us safety, freedom, a new nature and victory through Jesus Christ. But because there are multiple obstacles trying to hinder us from doing this, we must be undistracted, disciplined, consistent, strong and wise, to be able to fulfill our great calling.  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZA91MPMT3M&t=3986s
