Scripture Ref: Hebrews 12:1-4; Mark 10:46-50; Philippians 3:13-14;
1John 1:9; 2:1
Topic: Endurance
Notes:
- The real test of Christianity is not how we begin, but how we
end
- It is one thing to be challenged, another to accept the challenge
and move toward the goal (story of marathon challenge)
- Article "Who is Really Qualified?" the disciples
unqualified as are we
- Turn away from everything that will challenge the progress of
Christ in our lives
- We fail to follow through, to do business
- Story of couple in Atlanta, "tell me anything in my life-I'll lay
it aside"
- Blind Bartemeus threw aside his coat because it might impede his
progress toward Jesus
- Some good things may be a weight
- We must forget our past sins, failures and bad breaks
