Summary

Eric Liddell shocked the world when he gave up his best Olympic event to honor God’s day. In this powerful sermon from Pastor Adam Dragoon, we learn from 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 that the Christian life is not just about running — it’s about running to win. Discover the disciplines, boundaries, and mindset you need to finish well, avoid disqualification, and hear “Well done” from the Lord.

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Hebrews 12:1, 2 Timothy 4:7, Colossians 3:16
