Don’t fall for the idea that a life following Jesus will be easy. It’s compared to a race in Scripture. And it’s much more like an ultra-marathon than a short sprint. It requires perseverance and determination - not to battle your way to victory by your own strength, but to keep your heart surrendered and focused on following Jesus. As Pastor James continues our study of Genesis in today’s message, he’ll remind us that this challenging race can only be completed through the strength of Christ.
