Scripture Reference: Hebrews 12:1-11
Do you have a lens of life through which you can make sense in the times in which life seems to knock you down. Why is it such a struggle, even when we become Christians. Simply stated, it’s because life is a race, and we only success when we keep our eyes on Jesus.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:35-11:3
Hebrews contains the most extended discussion on the nature of Biblical faith in all of Scripture. But that’s not to say that Christians universally understand “faith” in the same way. The OT saints point the way to the nature of believing in the Jesus with integrity.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:19-36
Hebrews 10:19 marks a turn for the author of Hebrews. He begins calling his hearers to remain steadfast and endure to the end. Amazingly enough, one of the keys to remaining steadfast, is gathering together with other followers of Jesus! It’s the body of Christ that helps us recognize the damage of sin, the beauty of Jesus, and that following Him is worth it in the end.
Scripture Reference: Hebrews 7:18-28
Our writer has been fixated on the role of the Priest in the Jewish mind. What was the purpose of the priest and how did they function to form the interior of God’s people? In the end, Hebrews prepares us for life by clarifying what we “look like.”
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: Hebrews 5:11-6:9
Hebrews entertains the possibility that someone could have all kinds of activities that appear to be genuine faith, but when they lead to Christ-denying rejection, they “fall away” and make it impossible to repent. What could that mean for our journey to remain steadfast and how does that warning actually help me?
