The final month addresses the long game: what does faithfulness look like over years and decades? Hebrews 12:1-3 frames it simply: Run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus.
Week 1 – Persevering in Truth (Hebrews 12:1-3): Throw off everything that hinders and fix our eyes on Jesus. This week names the obstacles honestly and points to the only sustaining source of endurance: Christ himself, who endured the cross, scorning its shame.
Week 2 – Servant Leadership (John 13:12-17): Jesus washes His disciples’ feet. I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Leadership in the Kingdom is not status – it is service.
Week 3 – Discipleship in Action (James 2:14-17): Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. The community moves toward a specific, concrete act of service.
Week 4 – Called to Go (Matthew 28:18-20): The Great Commission closes the series. This is the mandate given to every disciple. The King has not retired the commission. Ave Christus Rex.
