Hebrews | A Message For The Middle

Aug 23, 2026    Pastor Matthew Ward

Have you ever felt stuck in the middle—too far into the race to turn back, but still a long way from the finish line?


In “A Message for the Middle,” Pastor Matthew Ward shares an encouraging message from Hebrews 12 about what to do when you’re tired, discouraged, or tempted to quit. The race isn’t won at the starting line—it takes endurance to reach the finish.


When you find yourself in the middle:


• Remember the crowd — others have run this race and made it through.

• Remove the clutter — let go of the weights and sin slowing you down.

• Renew your commitment — ask the Holy Spirit for fresh strength to keep going.

• Refocus on Christ — keep your eyes on Jesus, the One who started and perfects your faith.


Whatever you’re facing today, the middle is not the end of your story. God is with you, and if you don’t quit, you’re going to make it.
