The First of the Three – FAITH

2026 THEME: Still the ONE!

SERIES THEME: The Big Three

Title: The First of the Three – FAITH

Scripture: 1 Cor. 13:13; Heb. 12:1-2; Jas. 2:14-24

“Faith is not merely an intellectual ascent to historical facts, but a living, breathing commitment to the person of Jesus Christ as the absolute authority of life.”
-Alexander Campbell

The key to the fullness of life with Christ: RUN YOUR RACE

1. The cloud of (witnesses)
2. Sin that (entangles us)
3. Anything that (hinders) us: (distraction and comfort)
4. (Someone) has marked our race out for us
5. Don’t run (aimlessly.) Instead, run with intentionality, focus, direction and a goal.

Live by faith: HOW DO WE FINISH WELL?

Remember: (Faith) is an action word. It’s a verb, too; not just a noun!

(Keep going with) Jesus! Hold on to Galatians 6:9
