Running life’s race! - Philippians 3:12-21

Running life’s race! - Philippians 3:12-21 By Pastor Lee Hemen August 5, 2018 I find it kind of interesting that we start life learning to crawl, jog or run through our younger years, and then end up walking or shuffling to the finish line.

The modern game was introduced in 1960 and consists of a track on which players travel by spinning a small wheel (in the center of the board) with spaces numbered 1 through 10. You collect a spouse, kids, jobs and cash as you head around the board. Of course the real "game of life" which one lives is a lot more complicated. However God has given us a way to live our lives...
