This talk starts in Hebrews 12:1, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." He then considers endurance in the lives of two people of faith listed in Hebrews 11, Jacob, and Joseph.

Yannick Ford opens his talk by showing from Scripture that patience is a divine attribute. God describes himself as long-suffering or slow to anger. Patience features as one part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23; and also as a feature of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Yannick considers the challenging words of James 1:2-8, to be patient in trials. Then 2 Peter 3:3-4 together with James 5:7-11 in respect to the coming again of the Lord Jesus.
Jonathan Hughes starts the consideration of the discipline of God by reading Hebrews 12:5-11, which shows that discipline is always undertaken with the aim of correcting wrong behaviour, and to replace it with something that is better. Jonathan points out that the purpose of discipline is that we may be partakers of God’s holiness. The talk covers Scriptures about self-discipline, discipline in the family, and discipline in the church.
