Hebrews – A Call to Commitment: “Persevering Faith” Hebrews 12:1-3

Four Keys to Persevering:

1. Remember the Hero’s of the Past

• Define Faith: Heb. 11:1ff.
• Faith is confidence in God’s promises: Heb 10:36-39
• Two key promises:

1) Jesus is coming for us! Heb 10:37

2) We are being saved: Heb 10:39

• Even though they did not received “the promise: Heb. 11:13

2. Lighten Your Load

• He is talking about weight—like street clothes.
• What baggage are you carrying?
• What sin or sins are tripping you up?
• It is not sinful to be tempted: 1 Cor. 10:13

3. Stay the Course

• How many ways are there to God?
• The Narrow way: Mt. 7:13,14
• There is only one way: Jn. 14:6

4. Keep Your Eye on the Goal

• Jesus not only shows us the way but runs with us. Phil 1:6.
• He is the Perfecter: Perfection equals obedience.
• Obedience equals love: 1 John 2:3-6
• The Joy is finishing the race; Rev 3:21
• There is a relationship between faith and Suffering: John 15:18-20
• A fact of Faith: 2 Tim 3:12
