Spring100 Devotional

How to Run the Race with Endurance

Alexander Strauch || Week 8

This week I am doing something a little different. I was blessed to listen to Mr Stauch’s message in person and greatly encouraged by it! The theme fit perfectly with our weekly devotionals so I knew I had to share the recording. I hope and pray it is an encouragement to you!

QUESTION! How do you enjoy spending your Spring100 walks? Listening to Podcasts/sermons, talking with walking companions? Taking in the beauty of the great outdoors? Leave a comment below and let me know!!

Don’t forget! These posts are made possible by YOU!! Your photo submissions and comments make these posts extremely fun and my job of putting them together super easy. Thank you! So with that being said, don’t leave without commenting, and remember to send in your Spring100 walking/running photos for a chance to be featured in next week’s post. Thank you!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”
Hebrews 12:1-3
