The Greatest Win of Your Life: Don’t Run the Wrong Race

"The Greatest Win of Your Life: Don’t Run the Wrong Race" Presented by: Doctor Sven Ostring There are so many exciting opportunities to pursue in life. We all love the thrill of being on the winning team. But what if, in the end, we realise we’ve been running the wrong race? What if we win… and still lose what matters most? How do we experience the greatest win—the kind that truly lasts? "And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?" Mark 8:34-37 ESV ********************************************************************************** Prayer Requests: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 Do you require someone beside you and with you to make a prayerful submission to God? Do you need prayer for something ailing or troubling you in your life? Or perhaps … are you seeking prayer on behalf of a family member or friend or someone that you feel needs help? Submit your prayer request to: https://rosdac.org.nz/prayer-request/ , and the Prayer Team of Royal Oak SDA Church will make submission to God … an intercessory prayer on your behalf, and/or together in fellowship and union with you. The Prayer Team of Royal Oak SDA Church will make intercessory prayer on your behalf at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, NZDT. Please Note: Should you require an immediate intercessory prayer to be made by the Prayer Team Leaders as soon as the prayer request is received by us, that you feel you cannot wait until the Prayer Team meets together on Wednesday evenings NZDT, then please indicate this in the “Your Prayer Request” **For more inspirational messages or to contact our Pastors, please check out our website: http://www.rocsda.org.nz **
