Have you been watching the Olympics this year? Have you been shouting at the tv cheering athletes on to win gold, silver or bronze?
What emotions get stirred up by the atmosphere, the commentators and the athletes themselves, striving towards their goal. What joy and elation we feel when they cross the finish line or set a new record, or simply perform their best.
Watching the Olympics reminds us that life itself is very much like a race. It has a beginning and an end and often injuries and obstacles get in the way and can take us off course.
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 12: 1 - 2 -
'Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.'
This Sunday we will continue our study of the 10 commandments and will consider their application today.
Our morning service begins at 10.30am and our evening service at 6pm. Come and hear the good news of Christ, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. He helps us to walk with Him, he helps us to run our race well.
Find us on Bridge Street, Deeping St James, opposite the River Welland. Parking is available and we have an accessible toilet with baby change facilities too.
