SEASON THEME:  Relentless & Resilient    SEASON TEXT: Romans 8:37-39                                                            THEME OF THE WEEK:  A  "Relentless & Resilient" runner will --  *Finish Strong*
Text: Romans 8:37-39:  "Nay, in all things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall ever be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."


   We have now reached the last week of the 2025 CCHS XC season. Each season now for the past 10+ years it has been one of our team goals to be running our best when it matters most and to then Finish Strong by competing well against the best of the best at the State Finals. This is a testament to the relentless and resilient effort our kids our willing to give to our program each and every year. Our theme this season was Relentless & Resillient and it was our desire to give that kind of effort each week as Christian runners. We used a different theme each week during the season to be encouraged in this. Now we finish strong with the same text we began with back on our first practice together on Tuesday August 19.



   The main idea behind our theme this year was this. As Christians we are called in a sense to live a Relentless & Resilient life. Our God has given each of us good gifts and we ought to be working very hard to go after all the things our God has set in front of us in this life with an effort that is Relentless & Resilient. The question is why is this the case? Well, our text gives us some guidance. It's because of our God's perfect, everlasting, Relentless & Resilient love for us in Jesus Christ! This is the power by which we ought to be motivated to live Relentless & Resilient lives of thanks and gratitude in return. Our God's perfect, everlasting, Relentless & Resilient love for us is in Jesus is amazing! Not one single thing can ever separate us from Him no matter what happens in our lives. None of our sins and weaknesses. None of our sufferings, troubles, and trials. No danger, fear, or persecution. Not death, life, angels, principalities, or powers. Not things present, or things to come. Not height, depth, or any other creature. His love never changes! Never fails! Never Ends! We are victors! Even more than victors / conquerors in Him! We will be triumphant no matter what!


   

   So our challenge and encouragement is to finish our season and life's race strong by every day giving an effort that is Relentless & Resilient. May God give us the grace to make this our daily pursuit! To put it in running terms...."Quitting is not an option" and "Walking is unthinkable". Our strength and confidence is all in Jesus alone! In Him we are Champions! In Him we are more than conquerors! Let's do this as a team now one final time this Saturday at the State Finals.
