In his sermon “What It Means to Be a Runner?” Apostle Gregory Kelley explores the biblical perspective on enduring life's challenges as a race, drawing from Hebrews 12:1-13 (NLT). He emphasizes that our modern culture has a lower pain threshold and fewer resources to navigate life's harsh realities. The book of Hebrews teaches us how to develop endurance and resilience through faith. Apostle Kelley highlights that life is a race already marked out for us, where the Greek word for “race” translates to “agony,” signifying struggle and perseverance.
A key takeaway is the concept of discipline in Hebrews 12:11, where the word implies being “trained by it,” likened to a gymnasium where athletes undergo rigorous preparation. Through discipline and faith, believers are equipped to endure hardships and stay committed to the race set before them. Apostle Kelley further breaks down why we run this race and how to do so, encouraging believers to embrace endurance, trust God’s plan, and be strengthened by the challenges that refine them.
