In the movie Rocky, “going the distance” means to fight a full 15-round match without being knocked out. In the movie, Rocky Balboa goes the distance against the world champion, Apollo Creed, but loses the fight in a split decision (sorry for the spoiler, but if haven’t seen Rocky by now, I don’t know what to say 😀 ).

The phrase “going the distance”  is also lesson about the importance of perseverance, giving your all, and not giving up on yourself. Rocky’s story can be seen as a symbol of the underdog, but also demonstrates hard work, self-control, over coming odds, and grit.

This morning, 10 PAX went the distance by pushing hard and going the full  8 rounds.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58, ESV)

In other words…..go the distance!
