3. Heb 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

4. What do we do about it? “Lay them aside” We are not responsible for what we can’t do, but we are responsible for what we can do. Whatever God commands us to do, He equips us so we can do it....let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

5. How to lay them aside 1. Believe you can – others have done it before you Heb 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses... 2. Look to Jesus Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... Heb 12:3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
