The Bible: God Speaks to Me (1 of 4)
by James Merritt
1. Foundation. How important both the word and the concept really is. Builders know this. One of the most important investments you will ever make is in your home. The single most important investment you will make in your home is in the foundation. If the foundation of a home (or any other building for that matter) is not properly laid then the entire edifice will be unstable and unsafe. 2. Teachers know this. Think about the all important ability to communicate, to read, to speak, or to write. One thing is essential to communication in any language - the alphabet. Why do teachers everywhere in every culture always begin by...
Highlights from Hebrews (21 Of 32)
by Stan Coffey
AUTHORSHIP: Much debate surrounds the possible authorship of the letter to the Hebrews. Traditionally the apostle Paul has been regarded as its author. However, the church in earlier times was divided over the authorship of the book. Luke, Barnabas, Clement of Rome, Apollos, and the apostle Paul have all been suggested. The arguments for a Pauline authorship are convincing despite the objections made. It is claimed that Paul could not be the author of Hebrews because the language, style, and arguments are not typical of Paul. Moreover, the epistle is anonymous whereas Paul's other epistles all bear his signature. Against...
Christ in the Book of Hebrews
by Jesse Hendley
Someone has well said, "No bee can gather honey on the wing. No more can Christ's disciples gain refreshment and sustenance, in the midst of the world's hustle and bustle, save by habitually alighting and drawing on the resources of Christ's Presence and grace. I am hoping that as you gather 'round these broadcasts of the Word, you will have your Bible open and study with us in the Scriptures from day to day. And remember, you are not alone, though you may think you are! One time in a certain village the people decided to give up their prayer-meeting. But one woman said, "Well though no one else attends, I am going to be at the...
Hebrews
by Kenneth Boa
...the book of Hebrews and, specifically, I want to talk about some issues about faith and what faith really implies. Now, we have a definition of faith right in the first verse and you probably have all heard this in varying translations. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) What do we see in that verse? The assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Paul says in Romans 8 that if we hope for what we see, we are not really hoping, because we have already got it. The object of hope is in that which we do not yet see. So there is an issue of hope...
Can I Lose My Salvation? (2 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
Many years ago in San Francisco they were building a bridge. It was a massive project called the Golden Gate Bridge, a thirty-five million dollar project at that time, a great, great sum of money. How many people have ever been on the Golden Gate Bridge? You know that it's an incredible structure that man built. Well, the workers on that bridge were very, very nervous and very worried and very concerned because the superstition, the rule of thumb for bridges, especially at that time, was for every million dollars spent on a bridge, a man would fall and lose his life. Now, when you build the Golden Gate Bridge, to fall from that distance is...
The Key to Pleasing God (1 of 5)
by David Cawston
''What it means to have faith'' Heb 11:1 1 ''Now faith is ...is Present tense! ''the substance of things hoped for...''A word form God ''...the evidence of things not seen.'' Evidenced by my actions! Focused on what I See with my spiritual eyes! What it means to have faith is that my current beliefs must be firmly rooted in God and built upon what He says about the situation to trust Him enough to act accordingly! 2. ''The Cost of Real Faith'' Heb 11:4 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks...
Why God was so Hard on Saul?
by John Barnett
Four thousand years ago one man made a series of little choices. He was rugged, handsome, hard working, honest, athletic, strong—and proud. From the perspective of those who lived around him he was a great guy—but from the One who sees the heart, he was pitiful. A spiritual scan would have revealed that he fed his flesh, gave in to his passions, and nursed his wounds until they festered into gangrenous abscesses that oozed bitterness. That bitterness infected his entire life and he ended up becoming an enemy of God. Who was he? Esau, firstborn son of Isaac, grandson of God's friend Abraham, natural heir to all the...
Our Sympathizing Saviour
by Adrian Rogers
Hebrews, chapter 2--would you turn to it? As we think today about our sympathizing saviour. Now if you're in the need for sympathy, pay attention for we all are. Verse 6-- But one in a certain place testified saying, What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that Thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels. Thou crownest him with glory and honor and didst set him over the works of Thy hands. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet for in that he put all things in subjection to him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him but we see...
Without Discipline, You Are Not Sons (7 of 7)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: A woman one day was sitting on a park bench when she noticed two boys engaged in a terrible fight. They were both equally bad, shouting and hitting each other. Suddenly from somewhere nearby a man appeared and he grabbed one of the boys and began to spank him while he ignored the other boy. The observing bystander got up and approached the man indignantly and asked, "Why are you punishing the one boy while ignoring the other one?" The man replied, "This one is my son, the other is not!" The other boy was not his concern, and it was not his hatred that prompted his discipline upon his son, it was his...
God's Better Plan (21 of 48)
by Jerry Vines
In our study in Hebrews we are coming to a new division or section. I'm doing a lot of repetition in these messages because I want to always keep before you the overall framework of this letter and why God has put the book of Hebrews in our Bible. There are two reasons why the book of Hebrews is here. The first reason is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to show us that in Jesus Christ everything we have is far, far better than anything else we can have.The second purpose, of course, is to encourage us as Christians not to go backwards in our Christian walk, but to go forward. "Let us go on unto perfection," he says...
Hebrews - Introduction (1 of 11)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: The Preeminent Bible teacher R.C. Sproul - said that if he were thrown into prison and could only have one book of the bible with him it would be Hebrews. REASON - it is so rich, it covers the entire scope of the history of redemption as well as showing how Christ fulfills all of redemptive history. Anytime we approach new study we typically spend the first sermon explaining WHO was the human author, WHERE was the author when he wrote the book, WHO was he writing to, WHAT were the circumstances that set the context for writing? But when we comes to Hebrews we cannot be certain about the answer to any of...
Defining Our Faith (1 of 7)
by Jim Perdue
Today we begin our series entitled, Unstoppable: 40 Days of Breakthrough Faith. More than a series, this is a campaign, a movement, a journey for our entire church. It's a journey of prayer, intimacy with God and fellowship with His Spirit. Our sermons will coincide with this series, we have devotional books to coincide with this series: personal and for family. Our Life Group lessons will focus on prayer and our services each Sunday will center around prayer as well. Our prayer is that God would give us the faith to step it up as a church, as people, as families...that our faith would be unstoppable and we would break through to...
Fighting for the Fellowship
by Robert Dawson
Darrell Robinson in Total Church Life writes, ''A church will never grow beyond its fellowship. If the fellowship is right, the church will continue to minister, witness in love and be built up in maturity and in number. But if the fellowship is not right, the church will decline and eventually die. If the fellowship is disrupted, everything else goes down. Attendance will drop. Giving will decrease. Outreach will stop. Building the fellowship is crucial to the growth of a church.''Fellowship is important but it is one of those words that gets thrown around a great deal. It's one of the churchy kind of words that is often used but seldom defined...
Jesus Is Better! (58 of 66)
by Tony Thomas
Anybody remember how doss worked? My first computer was a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shak. Then the Apple 2E came out and it was so much better! The command to get into Word Perfect was, cd/wp51. If you have windows, you wouldn't go back to an Apple 2E with a green screen would you? An Appel 2E was huge! Today, you can take a laptop, an iPad or an iPhone anywhere and use a battery instead of having to plug into electricity. Truth is ... we like choices! My father-in-law and youngest daughter both use a MAC. It's more expensive, but for photographers the resolution of the pictures is a higher quality than Windows...
Looking Into Jesus
by Adrian Rogers
Now, take your bibles and turn to Hebrews chapter twelve, Hebrews chapter twelve. Today we begin a brand new series of sermons and while we are we're turning to Hebrews chapter twelve, let me remind you about the evening service. At night here we're continuing the studies in the life of David and the studies have been a real blessing to my own heart. Tonight the title of our message is beauty and the beast, Beauty and the beast. It has nothing to do with Bob and Linnie. But uh, we're having a, we, we, we're talking about Nabel and Abigail and their relationship to God's anointed King David. And we're going to find out something...
The Good of Friendship (3 of 4)
by Jason Dees
Our scripture reading for today comes from Hebrews 10:19-25 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one...
Jesus the Builder
by David Cawston
Story of man that came to the pastor and said, why do you always preach on the birth of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus. Pastor sais ''you need to come to church more than just Christmas and Easter.''But what did Jesus do in his early years when he was here on earth? What was he known for in his home community? What skill was he trained to do? Mark 6:3 (NLT) Then they scoffed, ''He's just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.'' They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Carpenter! Let's look into this a little deeper. The chosen...
Ordination Sermon for Student Pastor
by J. Gerald Harris
Those who minister to children and youth very likely have the most strategic and important role in the church, because those of us who are older are entrusting to them the most important treasures we have - our young people - the next generation. So, we cannot entrust our students to Kyle Clayton without assuming some responsibility ourselves. So, here are some things the church needs to do. This is nothing new, but a reminder of what we must do to bless Kyle's ministry and ensure his success as a pastor to our youth. I. Remember their Position Our text says, ''Remember those who rule over...
Possible Faith for Impossible Times
by Robert Walker
You know when this letter was written to the Hebrews it was an impossible time for the believers in Jerusalem and all of the surrounding areas. It had been over thirty years since Christ had been on earth. He had promised a soon return. They wonder why He had delayed. They were suffering persecution and loss of property and where having to live hand to mouth. And from day to day on a meager existence and they were discouraged. They were dull in their hearing, sluggish in their spirit and weak in their faith. and then Hebrews 12 is written to tell them to stand fire and stand fast before God. Therefore that is a word that is used over...
