Lucas 4:12

Pressure and confusion can bring out the worst in us, but God’s Word is a powerful tool to combat our triggers with His truth.

This plan is a continuing discussion on running the “race set before us” from the book of Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 1. In each of three parts, we will discuss one disciplined commitment that successful Christ followers may utilize to finish their race, still running strongly.
