Surrounded by The Faithful

The writer of Hebrews challenges us, as he did those facing tough times, to live by faith.Remember those who crossed seas, faced walls, protected those in danger, endured
persecution, and suffered because of their faith.  Remember God is present and will not forsake us. Remember to lay aside everything that slows us down, distracts us, and keeps us from living out our faith fully and completely.  Lay aside everything that keeps us from doing the mission God has asked for us to do.  Remember to look to Jesus, perfecter of our faith.
