The race of faith described in the Bible began for us on the day we answered God's call and accepted Yeshua as our Lord and Savior. But having started well does not by any means mean also finishing well at the goal. We have to run the whole (!) race in faithfulness and endurance.

The letter to one of the congregations of the early Christians speaks of how God permits trials during this race. These are moments in which our devotion and reliability are tried and tested. Sigrid explores this topic with you, which at first glance seems so unpleasant to us — yet magnificent promises rest on these times of testing.

I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance
