Patient Endurance is our commitment to cooperate with God, through every challenge, as He brings about His desired outcome. 

 

Hebrews 12:1-3

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

  1. Yes, I’ve done one. If I can do it, you can do it. 
  2. Train with a team. You don’t want to try it alone. 
  3. The race changes you, and changes others…
