How you start matters. You don’t win a race just by running harder at the finish line; you win by positioning yourself correctly at the starting blocks. In this message, we dive into 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to discover how our internal "heart posture" determines our external trajectory.To win the race of 2026, you must position your heart at the start by choosing gratitude, releasing the weight of resentment through forgiveness, and trusting God’s heart by believing the best.
