Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equipment in Power

podcast.

Now my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you, awakens you to the

purposes of God in your life, and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you

live on mission for him.

Hey podcast listeners, if you have ever found yourself wanting to give up, you're

going to want to hear what we're about to share with you.

Christine has put together a list of ten of her favorite scriptures to encourage you

to keep going when you just want to quit.

encouragement ready for the next time you're finding it hard to keep believing that the

best is yet to come.

Now let's dive in to today's message.

Hey everyone, I'm so grateful that you've joined us today.

I know that God has a word for you.

And we are likening the Christian life to a marathon race.

Paul says in first Corinthians chapter nine verses 24 to 27 that we are all

running in a race only one win so that we should run to win.

And we're not running for some kind of short term temporal metal, but we are running

for eternal rewards.

I want to remind you today that the life that we are living here, God has created us on

purpose for a purpose that God has a race for each and every one of us to run.
