Finish The Race

Your students need to know that following Jesus isn't a sprint — it's a marathon that requires endurance, intentionality, and eyes fixed on the finish line. This 4-week sermon series equips your youth ministry to explore what Scripture means when it calls us to run the race of faith with perseverance. Students will discover how to fight the good fight when motivation fades, how to train spiritually like an athlete trains physically, and why the struggles they face today are actually building the endurance they'll need tomorrow. They'll walk away understanding that sanctification isn't about perfection — it's about pressing forward even when life gets hard, comparison creeps in, or they feel like giving up.
