Run to Win | Pastor Bill Scheer

What does real commitment look like?

In this message, Pastor Bill explains that commitment isn’t based on convenience—it’s choosing to stay faithful when no one is watching. Through Scripture and practical examples, he challenges believers to live with purpose, serve consistently, and embrace the Great Commission as the culture of the Church.

Discover why daily obedience produces lasting fruit, why your private faith matters, and how God wants to use your life to help people win.

MESSAGE NOTES

• Nobody suddenly becomes a champion.

• We are born again, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

Philippians 2:5-13
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

• Let this new mindset be in you.

Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

• Everyone matters.

• Every gift matters.

• Every volunteer matters.

• Every volunteer is helping people encounter and experience Jesus.

• Whether greeting at a door, serving children, parking cars, ministering at a prison, or helping behind the scenes, everyone volunteering contributes to changed lives.

• When you volunteer, you become part of something bigger than you.

• God’s called us to create the Great Commission Culture.
