Episode Synopsis

Heb 12:1Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and **let us run with endurance** the race that is set before us,**1. Look forward****1 Cor 9:24-27**24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. **Amos 6:1**Woe to those who are at ease in Zion And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria,**Amos 6:4-6**4 Those who recline on beds of ivory And sprawl on their couches, And eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall, 5 Who improvise to the sound of the harp, And like David have composed songs for themselves,6 Who drink wine from sacrificial bowls While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils, **Yet they have not grieved over the ruin of Joseph.****2. Look back****3. Look within** 1 Cor 6:12All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. Ps 139:23-2423 **Search me**, O God, and know my heart;Try me and know my anxious thoughts;24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me,And lead me in the everlasting wayEph 5:1515 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil.Matt 24:7"Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.
