First Presbyterian Church of Monterey

Paul uses the metaphor of running a race to talk about perseverance. Perseverance in the midst of trials is the hallmark of Christian faith. It’s more compelling than miracles.

Jesus preaches at Capernaum and enters the synagogue there. Even though it appears there is much work left to do there he tells his followers they must move on. And they do. The gospel is for all places, not just one.
