Have you ever watched a marathon? Many of the runners start off strong, but midway through they hit what is called the wall. Their bodies can't keep up the pace and sometimes they find themselves wanting to give up. We can go through life like this too. Things may seem good for a while, but then we run into challenges. In those moments, we can find ourselves discouraged and losing hope. This Sunday we talk about how keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and holding onto our faith can help us run the race of life with perseverance!
