Are you ready for a fresh start in 2026? As we kick off the New Year, Student Pastor Tim Yeager opens our "40 Days of Faith" series by looking at what it means to have a faith that doesn't shrink back. Using the book of Hebrews, Tim explores the "need for endurance" in our spiritual lives. We often start the year with big resolutions—gym memberships, healthy eating, or new habits—but research shows that 80% of people fall off by mid-March. The problem isn’t starting; it’s staying. In this sermon, you will discover: The Reality of Resistance: Why pursuing your calling often leads to more spiritual "pushback." Why We Shrink Back: How the enemy uses distraction, comfort, and deception to make us drift from our destiny. The Definition of True Faith: Moving beyond "wishful thinking" to a confident obedience to God’s Word, regardless of circumstances. The Object of Our Faith: Why even a "weak faith" in the right Savior saves you completely. Stop basing your confidence on your spiritual performance and start building it on the finished work of Jesus. It’s time to run your race with endurance, knowing that all of heaven is cheering you on!
