August 17, 2025 | "We Are Never Alone"

Are we truly alone in our faith journey? This powerful message reminds us that we're surrounded by a 'great cloud of witnesses' - those who have gone before us in faith. Drawing from Hebrews 11:29-12:2, we're encouraged to see how biblical heroes like Moses, Joshua, and Rahab took incredible risks for God. Their stories aren't just ancient history; they're testaments to God's faithfulness and our potential when we step out in faith. This isn't about reckless action, but about spirit-led risks that push us beyond our comfort zones. Just as Jesus endured the cross for us, we're called to face our fears and uncertainties, trusting that God is with us. It's a stirring call to examine our lives: What weights are holding us back? Where is God nudging us to take a risk? By keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, we can run our race with endurance, knowing we're never truly alone.
