Hebrews 11:1-3 - Jonathan Albright - Our lives are to be marked by continual sacrificial obedience to God. These steps of obedience are steps of faith when we cannot see the end result...when all the answers are not clear. Abraham gives us a real life example of this life of radical obedience.

James 4:1-6 - Lukus Counterman - Jesus opens our prison cell of bondage to loving and serving sin. We are free! But in our struggle with sin, we find ourselves running back to the sinful desires that we are freed from. We don't know the grace that is ours in Jesus Christ!

Hebrews 12:1-6 - Will Galkin - There is a danger of discouragement, of no longer running the race, of stopping when we ought to be running! Don't be discouraged.
