Hebrews 12:1-3

-Subtitle: What is going to stop you?

-No one can prove who wrote the book of Hebrews. Most think it is Paul.
-The majority of Hebrews talks a lot about enduring

Four reasons why people stop short of God's best

-v35: Others were tourchered

2.You get weighted down or tripped up

-You need to cut weight

3.Wwhy do you stop? You loose sight of the object of your focus
-Fix our eyes on Jesus
-Author and protector
-Subdivision, master plan you life
-He is the developer of my faith
-When you know the builder you can have complete trust in it
-Second book
-Jesus can be called the author and the editor (profector)
-What was the joy set before Jesus? I was the joy set before Jesus
-If I have Him I have it all

4.You loose sight of just how close you are to victory
