Pastor Mike preaches from Hebrews 2:1-4, warning believers about the danger of drifting from their faith and the seriousness of neglecting the salvation offered by Christ.

He explains the peril of gradual drift, the principle of discipline for disobedience, and the proof that the gospel is reliable, then urges practical steps—personal disciplines and community watchfulness—to renew commitment to Jesus.

A Better Salvation – Don’t Neglect it!

Hebrews 2:1-4

Introduction

Main Idea: Christians must not drift away but devote themselves to this great salvation.

 

  1. The Peril of Drifting (v. 1)
    • Drifting from the Word
    • Duty to Hold Fast

      •  

      1. The Principle of Discipline (v. 2)
        • The Law delivered by angels (Acts 7:38; Galatians 3:19)
        • The Law demanded accountability

          •  

          III. The Problem of Neglect (v. 3a)

          • A Great Salvation Despised
            • A Great Question Demanded: “How shall we escape…?”

              •  

              1. The Proof of Salvation (vv. 3b–4)
                • Spoken by the Son
                • Shared by the Servants (Eyewitnesses)
                • Sealed by the Signs (God’s Witness: miracles, gifts of the Spirit)

                  •  

                  Application – How can we pay attention?

                  1. Fight the Quiet Drift
                  2. Pay Much Closer Attention to the Word
                  3. Take Sin and Disobedience Seriously
                  4. Stop Treating Salvation as Optional or Ordinary
                  5. Renew Confidence in the Gospel’s Reliability
                  6. Cultivate Community Watchfulness

                    7.
