The author of Hebrews pauses to remind us that the world never stops bombarding us with its beliefs, lies, and worries. If we do not actively pursue Christ and Christ-likeness, we ARE drifting away.
The author of Hebrews wanted to ensure the reader was clear about the kingship of Christ, as explained and planned by God from the beginning of time.
We are a results-driven society and that spills over into our prayer life. But should we pray only to get results?
Christ is the perfect prophet, king, and priest because He is the exact imprint of God Almighty.
Over the next several weeks, we will be studying the book of Hebrews. The following link is the video mentioned in the sermon audio. https://youtu.be/1fNWTZZwgbs
We are told to give thanks in all circumstances. Why? To still the enemy! It's an honor to praise the Lord, not an option.
Grace is for everyone. We must remind ourselves of God's grace to us, so we can be effective ambassadors for Him throughout our communities and the world
Grace is what differentiates Christianity from every other religion. What is it? Who may receive it? What do we have to do to receive it?
Jesus is our high priest, carrying our names on His heart. Let's be bringing others to the Lord on our hearts.
Three Circles Evangelism is a tool for sharing God's plan, our rebellion, and the Gospel to those who don't know. However, we must present the Gospel completely - Jesus is not a bandage for a certain problem, He is the ONLY answer to the human predicament of our relationship with God.
The Gospel is truly the Good News we all need, long for, and try to substitute with other things. Listen and hear how much Jesus loves YOU.
When sharing the gospel, we can get distracted by specific sins. We must remember that sin is so much bigger than individual actions.
God isn't looking for our virtue, he's looking for our surrender. He wants us to lay down our arms against Him.
When sharing the Gospel, it's best to start at the beginning. God did not create an evil, broken world. His plan for us is good.
It is important for us to understand the world in which we live, in which we are called to share the good news.
As we pray, boulders are moved, seeds are sown. But we also need to pray for wisdom from the source, Jesus.
Why do we need to be reminded of the Gospel? Because it is of first importance. We desperately need a Savior who died for our sins and rose again.
Just as Samson, shorn of his locks, was powerless against his enemies, so is the church without prayer. Things happen when we pray that would not have happened had we not prayed.
Now is the time for what we say to meet what we do. It's time to pray for our inheritance.
Nothing advances without prayer. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. We pray against that and pray to see where God is working and join him.
Things happen when we pray that would not happen had we not prayed. As we pray for open doors, soft hearts, and ready answers, God's kingdom will be expanded.
We are joint heirs with Christ, but the devil wants to try to steal our inheritance. We must not let him succeed!
Join us as we wrap up our series on Jacob and the heart we need towards those who don't know Jesus.
Who are we worshipping? Is our faith our own? Join us as we learn more about Jacob and the heart we need towards the world.
As we truly understand our salvation and identity in Christ, we will have more compassion, more love, and more desire to share the Gospel with everyone.
God desires the full exhibition of His glory forever and ever. How can we have the heart we need for God to work through us and help spread His glory to the world?
David was a man after God's own heart. Join us as we investigate how we too can be men and women after God's own heart.

David was a man after God's own heart. Join us as we investigate how we too can be men and women after God's own heart.
What does it mean to be a person after the heart of God? Those things that are a priority to God should be a priority of ours. And what is God's priority?
There are 7,000 unchurched people groups in the world. One-seventh of the world lives in slums. Let's ask God, "Where on the planet do you want me to roll up my sleeves?"
The story of the Prodigal Son tells us about not only the younger son's need, but the older son's need and the father's extravagant love.
This week we look at the Psalms and Romans as we discover the heart we need. While we might lament at times, lament without thanksgiving is a dead end. The way out of the valley that we're in is through worship and thanksgiving.
What happens to the rest of mankind? Those who are not yet saved? What do we do about them?
Believers in Christ know three resurrection realities. We experience new birth, we live in hope, and our suffering is not wasted.
Pastor Jeff lays out a compelling vision for us, beginning with our problem, God's solution, and our future.
