In the ancient Greek athletic games, a runner had to complete exactly seven laps. No matter how brilliantly, fast, or stunningly they ran, if they stopped after six, they were completely disqualified. In the vital session "The Christian Prize & 3 Ways You Can Lose It", John Barnett reveals a sobering spiritual reality: the Christian life is not judged by how dynamically you start, but by how faithfully you finish.
The Application: Are you coasting on yesterday’s faith? Real transformation begins when you stop looking back, realize you cannot retire from your devotion, and resolve to run every single lap until the very end.
The Silent Killers of Your Crown
The Summary: Barnett exposes three deadly, quiet disqualifiers that rob believers of Christ’s ultimate "Well Done": Sins of Old Age: A toxic, late-life craving for comfort, convenience, and worldly security.
–Exceptionism: The deceptive lie that your past achievements, personal pain, or poverty somehow excuse you from obeying God’s Word today.
–Unmortified Pride: Allowing hidden pockets of self-exaltation to fester.
The Application: This teaching forces a diagnostic heart-check. You must actively slay the ‘exception’ excuses you make for your disobedience and strip away your cozy lust for convenience.
Watch this class today to transition from a distracted, coasting runner into a disciplined spiritual athlete running toward an eternal reward.
