Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
We dive into the final chapter of The Book of Hebrews, Chapter Thirteen. As we go through it, we will review previous chapters and discuss how they relate to what the last chapter has to say. Hebrews not only tells us what to do but gives us examples of how to do it. Our decisions have a massive impact on who we become and what happens to us in the long run. Enduring discipline is not fun but it brings forth righteousness.

S 7 Ep 26: About Love
Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
In this episode, we talk about love. Our opportunity to know God by faith is so remarkable the angels look at us to observe how we do it. And loving one another is a way to bear witness to the glory of God between one another. As we explore love, we will look at one significant difference between agape and phileo. The Bible implores us to continue in brotherly love, to be hospitable to strangers, and remember the prisoners as if chained with them. When we love, we proclaim the goodness of God to one another and to the world.

We continue in Chapter Thirteen of The Book of Hebrews. We are exhorted to follow the path that will make us complete in every good work.

Embedded in the list of things to do in Hebrews is a surprising vision of greatness...an unexpected measure of success.

In this episode, we continue looking at the list in Hebrews Thirteen. The list lays out a few ways in which we can steward the opportunities of life. This list is available for everybody. No one can stop you from being great. It is a choice available to all of us. We will also take a view of contentment, one in which our feeling of gratitude is not connected to our circumstances. The Lord is our helper. Through obedience to God, we can represent the gospel not just with our words, but with the perspective we choose - with our very lives.

Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
In this final episode, we revisit the most famous of the Hebrews passages: the hall of faith. There is a great cloud of witnesses, along with Jesus, watching us, cheering us on, hoping for our wise choices to add value to the Kingdom of God. We can achieve this by allowing brotherly love to continue. We are also called to get our team together and go outside the gate, extending brotherly love to the very ends of the earth. Although we live in this city, there is a better one. We get to join the cloud of witnesses, proclaiming the truth of a better way to the world around us.
