In this final message of our summer "At the Movies" series, Russ explores the powerful true story behind The Long Game—a film about perseverance, purpose, and pressing on when life gets hard. Drawing lessons from the 1957 San Felipe High School golf team and their unlikely championship journey, this sermon unpacks what it really means to "play the long game"—in sports, in faith, in recovery, and in life.With reflections on personal regret, inspiring Hope Center testimonies, and scriptures from Galatians, Philippians, and Hebrews, this message is a timely reminder to stay the course. Don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. Keep going because the reward is waiting on the other side of perseverance.
