Hebrews 11:1-12:2 describes the cloud of witnesses that lead the way for believers with the church today cheering us on as we keep our eyes fixed upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor van Engelenhoven contrasts the Holy Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church and then highlights the impossible race of faith, the incredible cloud of witnesses, and the invaluable navigator. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.”
