Choosing by Faith to Finish the Race

Nov 16, 2025    Pastor Harvey

This sermon emphasizes the critical importance of completing the spiritual assignments God has given to believers. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the testimony of faithful witnesses throughout Scripture, Pastor Harvey challenges Christians to lay aside every weight and sin that hinders their spiritual progress. The message stresses that God has chosen each believer for a specific purpose and provides the Holy Spirit to empower them to accomplish what they cannot do in their own strength. The sermon warns against distraction, complacency, and allowing good things to replace God's best purposes. It calls believers to build genuine relationships with God, maintain focus on Jesus as the author and finisher of faith, and persevere in sharing the Gospel even when it's difficult. The ultimate goal is not merely to be saved, but to finish the race well and bring others to Christ along the journey.
