b'August 14, 2016\\nby Pastor Jeff Alexander\\nHebrews 12:1-3\\n\\nThe Olympic Games make us think about competitive races, imagining what it would feel like to stand on the platform during the playing of the National Anthem and receive the gold medal. The Bible uses the language of a \\u201crace\\u201d to describe the life of faith--training for the race, running it (we could also say swimming it) and then celebrating at the finish line. Today\\u2019s message from Hebrews 12:1-3 helps us to understand our roles in the race and to realize that a great crowd of witnesses is cheering us on to victory in Jesus. \\n\\nVisit our website at moconnect.org'
