Session 16: Stop Comparing! (Run Your Race)

All of us get discouraged in life. But what if you’re discouraged because you constantly compare yourself to others? In today’s talk, we address how to stay focused in our season of life by not comparing ourselves to others. 

Today’s talk comes out from John 21:15-19. We learn from the conversation of Jesus with Peter that he desires to do three things in our lives: 

1.     Jesus Loves
2.     Jesus Heals
3.     Jesus Leads

We see in John 21:20 – 23 how quickly Peter starts worrying about how John’s life will be in comparison to his. If we’re being honest, we do the same thing. We are a lot like Peter and compare ourselves to others around us. But what if we didn’t have to? What if we just, “Ran our Race?!”

Next Steps:

1. Who or What is distracting you from running your race? Why?
2. Repent: Go to God and ask for forgiveness. He is a patient, gracious, generous God and wants to love, heal and lead you.
3. Out of the Love, Healing and Leadership of Christ, which one do you currently need the most? Pray about it and go all in on that one thing.
4. Run Your Race! Hebrews 12:1-2
