Sermons About Endurance
The Sanctification of our Affliction
The reason I am preaching this passage this morning is so we can come to appreciate and sanctify our affliction that the Lord gives us as we run the race set before us with endurance. From our text, Hebrews 12:5-11, we need to see two very important biblical facts concerning the discipline of the Lord that we need to understand. 1. We must understand that discipline is a fact of the Christian life. 2. We must understand that sanctified affliction brings forth the fruit of discipline.

A Proper Perspective on Affliction
From our text this morning, Hebrews 12:2-4, I want you to see three truths about the Lord Jesus Christ that we are to consider when enduring affliction. 1. We are to consider that Jesus is the exemplar of our faith. 2. We are to consider that Jesus endured greater affliction than us. 3. We are to consider Jesus' present position.

Running the Race
This morning from our text, Hebrews 12:1-2, I want you to see the two commands that the Lord has given us for running this race that has been set before us. 1. We are to lay aside anything that hinders us from running the race. 2. We are to run this race with endurance to the very end.

Trust the Lord and Do Good (1 Samuel 18 - 31)
What do we do when things don't go the way we thought or hoped? The life of David is a wonderful example. David was very successful. He was anointed king of Israel, had great success in battle, had strong friendships, married the king's daughter, and was loved by the entire nation. But Saul was jealous and afraid of David, and set out to kill him. When the "good life" turned bad, how did David respond? Notice what was absent from David's response. There was no complaining or demanding of explanation. David didn't take matters into his own hands when he had an opportunity to kill Saul. David wasn't self-centered, but showed concern for others. What did David do? He strengthened himself in the Lord, inquired of the Lord before acting, trusted the Lord and did good.

The Race of Faith
Life is like a race, a marathon. We are easily overcome with hardship if we don't have our attention on the right person- Jesus. We are able to finish the race because He finished the race and sits on the throne of grace to help us.
