Don’t just sit there DO SOMETHING!!!! Ruthless Trust

Hebrews ch12 v1-3 As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way,

Hebrews ch12 v1-3 and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us.

Hebrews ch12 v1-3 Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross!

Hebrews ch12 v1-3 On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for Him, He thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and He is now seated at the right side of God's throne.

What are our biggest fears? 1)Public Speaking 2)Heights/Flying 3)Insects 4)Blood 5)Death (these vary according to different research)
