ENDURANCE - Never Give Up

What does it truly take to finish what we start in our spiritual journey? In this powerful conclusion to the "Lead Like Jesus" series, Pastor Gary delves into the critical principle of endurance, drawing parallels between Jesus's unwavering commitment and our own calling to finish faithfully. Through the compelling example of Paul's final words in 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Gary illuminates four key principles: fueling passion with purpose, maintaining consistency even when inconvenient, fighting the right battles, and leading with eternity in mind. He vulnerably shares his own saxophone learning experience to illustrate how many of us love the idea of something more than the dedication it requires. Gary challenges believers to move beyond mere starting—where 92% of New Year's resolutions fail—to become true finishers who impact generations. The message culminates in a powerful call to action, urging listeners to identify one God-given assignment they need to complete, emphasizing that the world, our families, and our churches desperately need people who will endure to the end like Jesus did.
