Playing To Win

In his sermon on August 11, 2024, Pastor Phil Willingham encourages believers to approach their spiritual lives with the same determination, preparation, and focus as an athlete competing to win. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11-16 and 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, he emphasizes the importance of running the race of faith with purpose, self-discipline, and a clear goal. Pastor Willingham highlights the need to subdue the body, renew the mind, and maintain concentration to avoid spiritual disqualification. He urges the congregation to give their best effort, aiming for the eternal prize of a life fully aligned with Christ.
