"Running the Race: Vision Sunday 2025" with David Bacon

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 16 November 2025. The reading was Hebrews 11:32 to 12:3. Join us as we explore what it means to run the race of faith with perseverance. Using the Great South Run as a powerful illustration, we discover three essential aspects of our spiritual journey: fixing our eyes on Jesus as the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, throwing off everything that hinders us, and running with endurance. On this Vision Sunday, we're reminded that making Jesus the heart of Southsea isn't just our church vision—it's our daily calling. Whether you're feeling weary or ready to run, this encouraging message offers practical ways to grow in faith through gathering, prayer, giving, and serving together.
