  2. Theme Passage Heb 10 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise

  3. Run With Freedom Hebrews 12 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…

  4. Run With Freedom Hebrews 12 1 … let us lay aside every weight, & the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…

  5. Gal 5 1 Christ has freed us so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. Therefore, be firm [in this freedom], and don't become slaves again.GWT

  6. “Let us lay aside” means we have the power, and the option, to rid yourself of the burdens of life and enjoy the freedom God gives us.

  7. God is the source of your help and the hope you have of living above your failures and stresses.

  8. 1) …let us lay aside every weight… Weight is emotional, physical or spiritual burdens that keep up from having endurance, tire us easily or make us doubt our ability to go forward with God.

  9. Hurting people hurt people… if you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and tears…. John Maxwell, Winning with People, p. 29-30

  10. ….healthy people are able to travel light, hurting people are carrying a lot of baggage.” John Maxwell, Winning with People, p. 29-30

  11. Matt 11 28 Come to Me, all you who labor & are heavy laden, & I will give you rest. 

  12. Matt 11  29 Take My yoke upon you & learn from Me, for I am gentle & lowly in heart, & you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy & My burden is light.

  13. Doubt that is allowed to linger, fester and grow is like unto a leech, it will bleed you until it is full. If a you have a habit of doubt, you intentionally drain yourself of energy, faith and hope

  14. 1) …let us lay aside every weight… Am I allowing God to lighten the load on my life or am I struggling under the weight of my burdens?

  15. 2) …let us lay aside…the sin which so easily ensnares us… Sin is a drag on the enjoyment and the fulfillment of our relationship with God.

  16. 2) …let us lay aside…the sin which so easily ensnares us… A follower of Christ has access to God’s forgiveness so that the only sin that can truly burden a believer is the one they choose to keep.

  17. God gives us freedom from sin… Rom 8 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, NIV

  18. God gives us freedom from sin… Rom 8 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.NIV

  19. God gives us freedom from self… Eph 4 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; NIV

  20. God gives us freedom from self… Eph 4 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.NIV

  21. Freedom begins when we realize the bondage we are in…to run the race with endurance we have to work with God to intentionally and forcefully remove the things inside of us that hold us back.

  22. Am I dealing with or avoiding my sin?
