What does it mean to live with an Olympic level of passion for Jesus?

In this episode, Pastor George Lockhart challenges believers to examine their spiritual temperature. Are we running with zeal and determination, or have we drifted into lukewarm faith?

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Philippians 3, and Revelation 3, this message explores three defining characteristics of an enduring faith:

• Desire – A genuine hunger for God
• Determination – The resilience to keep running
• Devotion – Returning to your first love

Jesus calls us to be zealous and to repent when our passion fades. This message is a reminder that God is ready to refine our faith, restore our focus, and help us run our race with purpose and joy.

What does it take to develop a faith that endures—one that finishes strong and runs to win?

In this service, we explore what Scripture teaches about living with Olympic faith. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9 and Hebrews 12, this message challenges us to approach our spiritual lives with the same intentionality, discipline, and perseverance as Olympic athletes.

Just as athletes train daily for a prize that fades, followers of Jesus are called to train for an eternal reward. This message unpacks three essential components of a faith that lasts:

• Self-Discipline – training your life with purpose

• Self-Denial – laying aside distractions and sin

• Self-Direction – fixing your eyes on Jesus and running your race

Whether you’re feeling spiritually strong or barely making it over the next hurdle, this service is a reminder that you are not running alone and that God has a race uniquely set before you.

What does it really mean to excel as a follower of Christ? In the final message of the Windows series, we explore how God calls every believer to live with purpose, discipline, and excellence—not for personal success, but for His glory.

Drawing from 2 Peter 1 and other key Scriptures, this sermon challenges us to examine our priorities, measure our spiritual growth, and align our lives around what truly matters. You’ll hear why understanding your God-given function is essential, how excellence requires focus and trust, and why living well, loving well, and serving well are not optional for the Christian life.
