Devotion: loving Jesus more than everything else - Harvest Lakeshore Full Service 10 AM

Mar 29, 2026    Jamie Maxim

In Hebrews 12:1–4, we are reminded that the Christian life is a race that requires endurance—but endurance doesn’t come from grit alone; it flows from loving Jesus more than everything else. The writer calls us to lay aside not only sin, but also the “weights” that slow our devotion—good things that can quietly dull our affection for Christ. In a world full of distraction, we are invited to fix our eyes on Jesus, the One who ran before us, finished perfectly, and endured the cross for the joy set before Him. When we grow weary, the answer is not to try harder, but to look longer—considering Christ until our hearts are strengthened again. As we behold Him, our love is rekindled and our endurance renewed. This message calls us to examine what may be slowing us down and to re-center our lives on Christ. Because in the end, we don’t endure by willpower—we endure by worship.
