May 16, 2021: Push Forward!

Supplemental message

Text: Hebrews 11:39-12:2

I'm hitting the pause button on the Sermon on the Mount. This week marks the one year anniversary of losing Joyce and Joseph Sanders. As we all know, our losses almost seem incomprehensible since that time. So I want to pause and reflect, acknowledging what we've experienced, and begin to help us all to move forward - particularly as the pandemic restrictions in our area are beginning to loosen. Key concepts will be to "walk in a manner worthy of our calling" (Ephesians 4) and "run the race" from Hebrews 12. We have each been called to glory and will enter into that glory by His grace, as heirs of God and co-heirs of Christ. Our present suffering is not even worthy to be compared to what's ahead.
