Jim uses the London 2012 Olympics to illustrate the Christian life as a race requiring discipline, self control, and perseverance. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 9, he urges believers to run with the same passion athletes show for a perishable crown, but in pursuit of the imperishable prize of eternal life with Christ. This sermon speaks to anyone struggling with complacency or wondering how to live faithfully. Jim calls us to identify what hinders us, to exercise self control by God's Spirit, and to glorify Him with our lives.
