This quarter, we train in heart, body, and spirit for the goal of finishing well in Christ Jesus.
Key Points
We finish well by moving in love, instead of fear or comparison.
We train our bodies, not for the purpose of vanity, but to embody the gospel through the work of our hands and feet.
Finishing well demands endurance and dependence on God.
We study God’s word alone and in community to know God and set our eyes on His promised future.
We recall the whole story of Scripture to remember God’s faithfulness and increase our longing for Jesus’ return.
