Jun 02, 2019 — Elisha Freeman —

Every athlete trains to best at their sport. The success we see from the athletes is built during their training sessions that no one else sees. The same is true for the Christian. We run the race “set before us” successfully by following a certain training regimen. This morning our focus will be on our day-to-day training and how it helps us run our race of faith.
