How God Wants Us to Run the Race
April 27, 2024 04:00The Example of Jesus 12Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely,and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,2looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

We Preach Christ Crucified
March 03, 2024 05:00hrist the Power and Wisdom of God 18For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart. 20Where is the one who is wise?
