Pastor Vlad preached from Hebrews 12:1-3, calling believers freed by Christ to run the Christian race with endurance by fixing their eyes on Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of faith. He framed four commands: run the race God has marked out, look to the cloud of witnesses who testify to God’s faithfulness, lay aside ensnaring sin and every weight, and treasure Christ who endured the cross for joy. Listen as Pastor Vlad calls us to leave this retreat running our God-marked race, shedding every hindrance, and fixing our gaze on Christ to finish with joy.
