Hebrews 12:1 - 12:17

HebrewsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores Hebrews 12:1-17, where he emphasizes that faith is not a virtue that a person possesses, but it is instead something that comes from making a judgment of God favorably. Gregg also notes that we are watched by a great cloud of witnesses as we run our race and thus, we should strip off the sins and weights that hold us back. The speaker compares the discipline involved in parenting to the discipline that comes from following God, which leads to maturity.
