"Whose Race Are You Running" is a sermon that encourages us to reflect on our personal spiritual journey, urging us to discern whether we are running the race set by God or following our own desires. By applying Joshua's lessons of faith, perseverance, and divine guidance to our lives, we are motivated to stay committed to God's path despite challenges and distractions. This sermon is not just a message but an invitation to recommit to running the race God has set for us, armed with the strength, courage, and clarity gleaned from Joshua's extraordinary example. It challenges us to consider whether we are following our own paths or the race marked out for us by God in Hebrews 12:1.
