This week we are continuing our study into Hebrew 12:1:

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”

I want to focus on this portion this week: let us lay aside every weight

What are the weights that hinder us from running well?

Let’s take a look at what this portion of scripture means:

Aside – to put away [Romans 13:12; Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:8-10]

The image is of putting away the old ways of doing things… you are a new creature on the INSIDE... but the same BODY on the OUTSIDE.

What are the things in your life that weigh you down…? The thing you can’t shake even when you sleep? Christ died to remove those burdens from your shoulders… tune and learn how to run your race burden free!
