Marc Swenson - January 25, 2026

Discipline

Tom Landy, the longest-standing coach of the Dallas Cowboys, said, “The job of a coach is to make athletes do what they don’t want to do, in order to be what they’ve always wanted to be.” While it doesn’t translate perfectly into our spiritual lives, it’s a pretty good analogy for how God works in us. Join us Sunday as we discover how God uses discipline to shape and mold us into who he wants us to become.

Scripture References: Hebrews 12:1-11
