     | 2,101 views

    Today we’re talking about how we can learn to follow Jesus Christ our glorious savior. And we’re considering the book of Hebrews, chapter 12.

    Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy;without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who ...read more

    Are we at that place where we know our calling explicitly? Have we positioned ourselves for God’s plan to play out? God’s favor will bring upon you trials and test your faith and endurance. Are you ready?

    Paul prays that we might be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, so that we might know the unknowable, and be filled to the fullest (#6 in The Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

    We must have the Spirit of Christ, to live the Christ life, to do the work of Christ (#7 in The Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

    If you will remember back to our coverage of verse one, you know that Paul called himself ‘prisoner of Jesus Christ’, and then he broke from what he seemed about to say, and began a rather lengthy qualification for that terminology. When we read verses 2-7 we find that he is reiterating ...read more

The deacon responded, “I don’t know, and I don’t care.” Look, we’ve been in the church long enough that we know what ...read more
