Have you ever had a certain plan of how you wanted something to turn out? Sometimes we have certain expectations and a clear picture of how we want our life to be. Then suddenly a curve ball comes in and knocks us on our feet. We are then left wondering, where are you God? It feels like he is being silent. We start to feel discouraged, doubtful, and wonder if our faith is really worth it. 

In this sermon, we kick off our new series on Hebrews. In the book of Hebrews, the Christian life is compared to running a marathon. There are times where we will want to give up, but we are meant to endure and always fix our eyes on Jesus. The secret to steadfast endurance is to replace trying harder with looking closer.
