Never give up on God’s plan: Throwing off what slows you down

Hebrews 12:1 | Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

  • What ‘race’ has God set before you? What does your race, or God’s plan for you, include? 

  • What are some weights that slow us down as we follow God and ‘run our race?’

  • What do you personally need to “throw off” (Heb. 12:1) or “forget” (yesterday’s reading- Phil. 3:13) so that you can stay focused on God’s plan/race for you? 

    • How will you actually throw off or forget these things? 

    • Who can help?
