A disciple is not called merely to begin well but to finish well. In this final study, we explore Jesus’ call to endurance, Paul’s example of finishing the race, the obstacles believers face, and the eternal rewards awaiting those who remain faithful. Learn how Scripture equips disciples to persevere to the end with courage and hope.
