Run Your Race — Ep 02

Even When the Culture is Against You

November 1, 2026 • Pastor Murray Lutzer

In this message, we are going to look at how Christians are called to remain faithful to Jesus and finish their spiritual race, even when facing suffering, temptation, and cultural pressure. Through the example of Daniel and his friends, we learn that our true identity comes from being children of God, not from the opinions or expectations of the world.

We will look at two key ways to keep running our race: remembering our identity in Jesus and maintaining a consistent prayer life, supported by a strong Christian community. We will be encouraged to stand firm in our faith, speak the truth with grace, love others even when they disagree with us, and persevere to the end because we keep running not because the world approves of us, but because we belong to Jesus.
