God has a race marked out for each one of us to run, and he invites us to endure by fixing our eyes on Jesus,

who authored and is perfecting and finishing our faith. The great temptation will be to grow weary

or discouraged in your souls. Don't be full. The enemy is prowling around like a lion

seeking whom he might destroy, but Jesus has overcome. And so we take heart by looking to him.

I hope this message encourages you to fix your eyes on Jesus. And if you've fallen down to fix your eyes on him again and let him pick you back up,

be blessed.

Hey, thanks. Good morning. Everyone say, what's up to overflow? What's up? Overflow. We love you.

I'm going to jump right in. I got a lot that I felt the Lord wanted to say today. So let's pray. Put your hand on your heart.

Jesus put eyes in there. He put eyes in there for you to see him. And we were, we started off the day asking him. And I'm just remembering when he was resurrected and he visited the disciples in the upper room

it says I'm going to read it to you while we're still praying so just keep your eyes close

thank you Lord thank you Lord Thank you, Lord.

It says, and he opened their understanding

that they might comprehend the scriptures.

So I want you to look at Jesus right now and say, open my understanding.

Open my understanding. Open my understanding. Open my understanding. There is a supernatural reality,

Lord, that we need, that I cannot do jesus i cannot do you could make me the most gifted speaker on this planet and i cannot open the understanding

but you can by your spirit and so i'm asking you lord to fill this room to fill our hearts

let your zeal come and rip veils and give us fresh eyes we want to see you and lord you know that we

have to see you. And Lord, you know that we have to see you. In your name we pray. Amen. You can get your

Bibles out. We're going to go to Hebrews chapter 12. I want to talk to you about endurance today.

I've been thinking lately about what an undervalued value that is in the church to endure.

Did you know that we are encouraged to endure 32 times in the New Testament?
