Listen ""Pressing On: Running the Race of Faith" with Nigel Bennett"
Episode Synopsis
This is the talk from our 10:45 service on today's date. The reading was Philippians 3:12 to 4:1.
In this talk, our Nigel explores Paul's powerful metaphor of the Christian life as a race, urging us to "press on" with purpose and determination. Drawing from Paul's honest admission that he hasn't yet reached perfection, we're reminded that none of us have "arrived" spiritually. Through vivid illustrations from athletics—including Usain Bolt and pole vaulter Armand Duplantis—we're challenged to forget past failures and successes alike, straining forward towards our heavenly goal. The message encourages us to embrace the purpose for which Christ "took hold" of us, pursuing Him with the dedication of an athlete pressing through the pain barrier towards the finishing line.
