Sermons on Hebrews (Page 2)
Sanctification
Because we live under grace, we tend to treat God’s Word casually and not do what it says. Living a sanctified life testifies to the world that God is who He says He is – our Healer, our Deliverer, our Light in the darkness. We are challenged to examine ourselves about what our lives say to the people around us about who He is. Sanctification leads to glorification. …
Apprehended For Perfection
Matt 5:48 commands that we “be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect”. We see that as impossible so we expect that to happen when we enter Heaven. God is getting us perfect as we move forward in relationship with Him. We want faith first, but God builds faith as we walk, not before. We were apprehended by Christ for perfection – on earth where the devil says it can’t…
The Genesis of Jesus
What God started in Genesis He begins again in the New Covenant. Adam, created with the very breath of God was tasked with keeping the weeds out of the Garden, creating a place of sanctuary & peace, and to fill the earth with people – God’s family. God reopened the place of peace & tranquility to us with Jesus, and we’re tasked with multiplying life – Kingdom life – in…
The Author Of My Life
Jesus authored our lives as He lived His. We need to learn of Him, to use what He said and did and apply it to our lives. As we allow Him to lead us through in faith and obedience, the Kingdom is revealed and the world sees us as witnesses to how the Kingdom works in love, peace, faith, truth, hope and they will want in. We need to stop listening to the voice that…
Lay Aside Every Weight (Hebrews)
The Book of Hebrews serves as a reminder to us to go back to the foundations of what Christianity is. Our relationship with an indwelling God who directs our path daily as we yield to Him sets us free from bondage to the law. We can lay aside the weight of trying to get ourselves to heaven. Faith in His promises reassures us that as long as we stay in relationship with…
Resignation
As children of God, we never, ever have to resign ourselves to defeat. We have an anchor in Christ Jesus that we can use to stop the slide into resignation as His Word gets us back on course.
Hay, Wood, & Stubble (Heb 5)
The job of the Five Fold Ministry is the preparation of the Bride of Christ. Every one of us is full of hay, wood and stubble that will burn up when it goes through the fire. Ministry should be helping you get rid of those things so when you get to the fire part of your walk, you’re fireproof and go through as gold. We can choose to allow God to bring forth the gold by…
Songs of Degrees, Part 13
Finding Rest for God
We Are His Workmanship
Christianity is not a self-help religion but many Christians approach it that way. Find out whether you are behaving as God’s workmanship or your own workmanship.
Mathew 5: Blessings
In the Beatitudes, God provides us with an understanding of our Christian walk and the way we progress in the Spirit. It starts with amnesty and it ends with amnesty; as His grace changes us it also changes how we treat others. The Sermon on the Mount challenges us to be honest about how well we truly rest in Jesus as our Sabbath.
