Radical Endurance: Embrace the Squiggle

Hebrews 12:1
 
Write down which you think you are:  A spiritual champ or a spiritual chump?
 
A.  The first thing we need to think about is we need to have a realistic picture of the road ahead.
    
     1.  Our journey is a risky, curvy, squiggly mess.
 
     2.  When you look at Scripture, God sees stuff in people that they don't see in themselves.
 
B.  We need to replace performance and pressure with forgiveness and freedom.
 
     1.  People are burned out on religion because religion focuses on performance and pressure.
 
     2.  Christ, the Bible says, is the fulfillment of the law.
 
C.  If we want to run like champs is to look to Christ continuously.
 
     1.  If you want to feel like a spiritual champ, get the picture of Jesus Christ carrying you in your darkest moments.
 
     2.  Scripture says God handcrafted you and me.
 
     3.  Christ sees stuff in you that you may not see in yourself.
 
  Thought for the week:  Jesus is in the business of turning chumps into champs.
