Every athlete longs for a good coach. Someone who sees their potential, corrects what will hold them back, and trains them to endure when conditions get hard. Scripture tells us that God is like that kind of coach for His people.
Join us this Sunday as we open Hebrews 12:5-11 and reflect on how God lovingly trains, corrects, and strengthens those who belong to Him. When faith is tested, God does not step back. He steps in, shaping endurance, character, and strength that lasts.
If you are feeling stretched, challenged, or unsure why God is allowing a difficult season, come be reminded that you are not abandoned. You are being trained by a faithful Father who is committed to your growth.
If you’ve been feeling tired, stretched or spiritually worn down, this message is a great opportunity to regain focus, hope and encouragement for the race you’re running.
