Introduction

Good morning, dear family of faith. The air in this sanctuary is thick with the sweet aroma of fellowship, the sacred bond that binds us together as we gather in the name of our Lord. Our hearts are eager, our souls are thirsty, and our spirits are ready to be filled with the Word of God.

In the chorus of our communal worship, in the symphony of our shared praise, we find ourselves drawn towards the heart of the Gospel, towards the very essence of our faith. Today, we gather not just to hear the Word, but to absorb it, to let it seep into the marrow of our souls and transform us from the inside out.

Assessing the ABC's of God

As we gather here today, we find ourselves on the cusp of a new understanding, a new perspective on our faith. We are about to embark on a deeper comprehension of the very essence of our faith, the fundamental truths about God. This is not a fleeting moment, but a significant step forward in our spiritual growth.

We are moving beyond the elementary teachings about Christ, as urged by the writer of Hebrews, and stepping into a more profound understanding of God. This is not an easy task. It requires dedication, commitment, and an open heart. It requires us to set aside our preconceived notions and to approach God with a childlike curiosity. It requires us to be humble, to acknowledge that we do not have all the answers, and to be willing to learn from God Himself.

The Scripture we are focusing on today, Hebrews 6:1, is a call to action. It beckons us to move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and to mature in our faith. It urges us to not lay again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, but to build upon it. This is the first step in our process of understanding the ABC's of God.

The writer of Hebrews is not dismissing the importance of these elementary teachings. On the contrary, he acknowledges their significance as the foundation of our faith. However, he also recognizes that a foundation is not an end in itself, but a starting point. It is the base upon which we build our understanding of God.

This understanding is dynamic process. It grows and evolves as we grow and evolve in our faith. It is not a destination, but a continuous process of learning and growing. It is not a task to be completed, but a lifelong commitment to seeking God and understanding His ways.
