First Baptist Blowing Rock

As we continue to build on our study of Hebrews Chapter 12, We discover that there are certain areas that our "Spiritual Race" (Christian Life) should always use as guidepost and other areas that we must avoid at all costs. After the author gives the analogy comparing the life of a Christian to a marathon race that each individual must run, he encourages us how we might run it as smoothly and successfully as possible (vs 1-3). He then reminds us that it we find ourselves slowing down, detoured or quitting that God loves us enough to use difficult circumstances and situations in our lives to get us back on track (Spiritual discipline, vs 4-11). In this message, he is going to lay down some guides (not running alone, pursue peace, let Holiness be your guide) to help us navigate the race we are called to run, but also offer some warnings of a few things (bitterness, sexual immorality and Worldliness) we might encounter along the race that we need to avoid.  From Hebrews 12:12-17.Thank you for listening
