NOTICES OF INTEREST
“A New Era of Faith” Hebrews 12:1-2
God is calling us to be faithful as leaders and as a congregation in our season just as those who came before us
were faithful in their season. We must acknowledge and embrace this as our season, while at the same time
learning from those that came before us that ran their race and made great progress. We must now receive the
baton and continue the progress. We cannot afford to be stagnant as there is no victory in running in place. Our
race is different as our season is different but our prize is the same. We all run for an imperishable crown rather
than a temporary trophy. While there will be external weights or obstacles, we must overcome them through
our faithfulness and run boldly into this New Era of Faith.
