Hebrews 12:1-3 | Jesus the Unrivaled Hope

Hebrews 12:1-3

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.” (Hebrews 12:1–3, ESV)

"Now it is your turn." These can be five of the most thrilling and terrifying words a person can hear. When the moment comes where God says, "It is your turn", what hope will help us follow in the footsteps of the great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12?

Pastor Russell Cravens, our guest preacher from one of our sending churches, Neartown Church in Houston, TX, shares in his message today that we can trust in Jesus, our Unrivaled Hope.
