To walk with the Lord, Let
Us....
I. Throw off distractions and the sin
which easily entangles us. (12:1a)
12:1a Therefore, since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which
clings so closely,
II. Run the our individual races which
were marked out for us (12:1b)
12:1b and let us run with endurance the race that
is set before us,
III. Fix our eyes on Jesus through all of life
(12:2)
12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter
of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
IV. Be thankful and worship our awesome God with our
full being (12:28-9)
28 Therefore let us be
grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer
to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a
consuming fire.
V. Identify with Christ’s purpose and
focus on our eternal home (13:12-14)
12 So Jesus also suffered
outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
VI. Continually offer to
God a sacrifice of praise (13:15)
15 Through him then let us
continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips
that acknowledge his name.
