In this powerful message from Hebrews 12, we are reminded that our faith is not built on people, institutions, or circumstances—but on Jesus Christ alone. Building on the great “cloud of witnesses” from Hebrews 11, this chapter urges us to throw off every weight, endure hardship, and fix our eyes on Jesus—the Pioneer and Perfecter of our faith.
Pastor Raphael shares a personal story of navigating a moment of church crisis, pointing listeners to the unshakeable truth that Jesus is our constant in every storm. We are encouraged to embrace God’s loving discipline, pursue peace and holiness, and live in reverence for the God who is both gracious and a consuming fire.
Whether you are feeling discouraged, facing trials, or simply longing to grow in faith, this message calls you to look to Jesus—who endured the cross for the joy set before Him—and to run your race with perseverance.
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” – Hebrews 12:1-2
