Hebrews 10:24-31
Open your bibles to Hebrews 10. This is the 25th message from the book of Hebrews. I don’t know if you are aware or not but taking the time to go thru entire books of the Bible is not typical of most churches anymore. Most choose to do shorter series more focused on certain topics.

We will skip them or overlook them. Why? Because there are certain passages that are far more difficult to teach than others. There are also texts in Scripture that many people aren’t interested in hearing because they are extremely uncomfortable. Have you noticed? But when we go through books of the bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, we are forced to face them, and try to understand them. There is no skipping them or ignoring them. We, as pastors, are forced to teach them. And you, as listeners, are forced to hear them. And it’s good for both of us because we believe this whole book is ...
