1/2/2000 – Christianity: A Marathon, Not a Sprint, Greg Boyd  –  sermon length 33:56 Becoming a Christian means continually becoming more like Christ throughout our lives. We can never complete this goal before we die. That means there is no time for coasting; we must continually press on towards the goal. Running the race is painful sometimes, but don’t let that stop you. Faith is pressing on even when you don’t see the results you think you should in your life. Greg described how faith is like a marathon, not a sprint.
