Let Us Run

<p>Speaker: Robert Lee</p><p>What could God do if you gave the next year of your life to truly knowing Him?</p><p>This message centers on the two greatest commands from The Gospel of Matthew 22:36–39: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind—and to love others as yourself. These aren’t just ideals; they are the foundation for building a life that aligns with what matters most to God.</p><p>We explore how the Church responds corporately to these commands—through a life of prayer (loving God) and a life on mission (loving others). Discipleship isn’t about producing leaders, but forming wholehearted followers of Jesus who know Him deeply, become like Him, and make Him known.</p><p>Drawing from The Epistle to the Hebrews 12, we’re invited to “run the race” with endurance—laying aside distractions and fixing our eyes on Jesus. This race is not a sprint but a lifelong pursuit, sometimes marked by intense seasons of growth and surrender.</p><p>The love of Christ compels us (2 Corinthians 5:14–15). It moves us to pray, to give, and to go. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9 that the harvest is plentiful, but laborers are few—inviting us into partnership with Him in seeing God’s will done on earth.</p><p>At the core of it all: Jesus Himself is the reward. Not outcomes, not ministry success—but Him. His zeal sustains the mission and guarantees its fulfillment (Isaiah 9:7).</p><p>The call is simple but costly: Will you plant your life in the local church? Will you take ownership of God’s Kingdom where He has placed you? Like a seed falling into the ground (John 12), true fruit comes through surrender.</p><p>This message is an invitation—to run, to love, to give your life fully to Jesus, and to become a spiritual mother or father who helps others follow Him.</p>
