Calvary Chapel Tri Valley

Abraham is the father of the faithful and is an example of faith willing. Abraham believed in the Lord and He accounted to him for righteousness. Sarah, his wife, joins the adventure by bearing a child even though she has long passed the age of child bearing. This appointed event occurs to begin the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Is anything to hard for the Lord?

Abraham was:

1. Willing to go without knowing where

2. Willing to go without knowing why

3. Willing to believe and trust as he waits

God said to Abraham; “You have skirted this mountain long enough, turn northward.” Today, our mountain may not be geographical, but it is a place. What is the place that you have spent too much time in that God is calling you out of? It is time to move in faith willing. You were created for good works. We are citizens of Heaven making our way through this earth as we walk with God through faith in Jesus.

God views time morally. Not by hours, days or years but in seasons. Currently, just as in the days of Noah, God is being pushed out of our culture. The increasing majority of people do not want to talk about Jesus, they do not want His counsel.. Godly fear is disappearing. We are at a crossroads of faith. So was this during the days of Noah. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and demonstrated how faith works. How? Four key points are:

1. Faith

2. Fear

3. Work

4. Testimony

Will Noah hear, believe and obey? Does Noah believe the God who spoke this is faithful? Will Noah live out the parable of the talents, prepare and get to work? Noah chose to have faith, fear God, stepped out in faith and went to work in obedience. Will we hear, believe and obey? Let us all be doers not hearers of the Word. Our obedient Christian walk is a walk of faith, one step at a time.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The prophet Enoch’s name means dedicated and as he believed, in faith, it changed him. Nobody accidentally walks with God. It has to be intentional. We need to be going the same way, the same pace and with the same faith. We are all prone to wander and need to yoke back up to Jesus.

5 key points to remember about Enoch are:

His name

He walked with God for over 300 years

He leaves behind a powerful testimony

He was taken away before he saw death

He pleases God

Enoch walked with God during the most wickedest time in human history. The remedy for change is to walk with Jesus. To run our God given race with endurance in the short time we have. How to begin? Start! Just start with one little step every day. Walking by faith pleases God. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. What will be said of your faith?

God is the sun, you cannot look at it, but without it, you cannot see anything. Then if God is the sun then faith is our eyes.

Three key points in this message are; accepted, approved and audible.

1. Don’t give God what you want, give to God what He wants

2. First offer your heart, then give to God your sacrifice

3. Trust God to work through injustice

Here is the progression. At first we did not care, then we cared, then we wanted to give what was important to us, then we wanted to give what is important to Him. It is the heart not the sacrifice. When God asks a question, He is trying to tell us something.

Faith defined: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Substance is the sub floor, our foundation, which is Jesus Christ. Simplified, faith operates in 2 realms. In things hoped for, things coming in the future and in things unseen, things that are invisible. Why should we have faith? Because eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him. There is more to this life than which we can only see. That is why we walk by faith and not by sight.

This week before Easter, Holy Week or Passion Week, is a time of great jubilation and also of great sadness. The people shouted; “Hosanna, Hosanna, save now!” Later they would shout; “Crucify, Crucify!” Rejecting the work of salvation.

Jesus gives us 3 charges:

1. Enter in by the blood of Jesus

2. Hold fast to the hope that we have in Jesus

3. Let us consider one another

We all will struggle in our obedience to God but when we drift and fall away, we run to Jesus in the spirit of repentance. We all have fallen short of the law because if we are guilty of one then we are guilty of all. We will all fail, so then it is direction not perfection. We are all in desperate need of a Savior and Jesus is the only remedy. Outside of Jesus there is no sacrifice for sin. It is finished.

Always remember what Jesus has done in your life and grow in more passion for Him. We need patient endurance to finish our race. How do we do this?

1. By remembering the past victories

2. By remembering the future promises

3. By remembering that Jesus is coming

3. By setting sail again

We are not walking aimlessly. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and run your race to completion.

This study into the book of Hebrews now moves from doctrinal to practical. Key points of this study are:

1. Let us draw near to God

2. Let us hold fast to the hope we have

3. Let us consider one another

We are all sinners in desperate need for a Savior. Let us always draw near to Jesus with a true, real and honest heart. So come now, let us reason together. Though our sins are like scarlet He will make them white as snow. Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am chief, said Paul. It is time for us with boldness to draw near, each day moving closer than the day before. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Therefore let us not lose hope because He who promised is faithful. The storms of life will come and we may not agree with His timing but He who promised is faithful.

Hebrews is written to the Hebrews so we have to put on a Hebrew mindset of that time in history in order to understand the writer. The Hebrews wanted a sign because Jesus did not fit their expectations. They wanted a conquering king. So Jesus was a stumbling stone in their perspective. They expected another.

Jesus’ death was planned through promises, predicted through prophecy and fulfills all of God’s plans and purposes.

1. A testament demands death

2. Forgiveness demands blood

3. Judgement demands a substitute

Jesus had to die for our sins to pay the price and complete the gift of eternal life. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. The wages of sin is death. No works, no efforts, no deeds we can do in our life can cover our sins. We are all sinners saved by amazing grace.

The testator has to die for the will to be executed and then the assets dispersed to the beneficiaries. Jesus then rises from the dead, defeating death the devil and the grave to then become Executor of the will. No one took His life, He laid it down willingly. No one will stand before God in their own righteousness. But a pardon is not complete unless it is accepted.

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Removing them as far as the east is from the west.

We want the reality of a personal relationship with Jesus not hindering old covenant religious rituals that keep us separated.

The Tent of Meeting was the reality in the Old Testament where humanity met Divinity. Now, the new has come and rendered the old obsolete. Where can humanity and Divinity meet today? It is not a place anymore it is a Person. Jesus the Christ. He is the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. There is no more work to be done. Jesus paid for it all at the cross when He said; “It is finished.”

We have been bought with a great price. The new covenant is our reality now. Jesus is the new covenant.

The old covenant was restrictive because:

1. Worship of God was limited

2. All of the Old Testament sacrifices never satisfied the full payment of sin

3. At best it was temporary

4. The heart of the problem is our hearts

Do not let religious man made laws and rituals block you from Jesus.

New Covenant versus Old Covenant.

Covenant: An agreement between 2 parties.

OLD COVENANT: Was the agreement God made with the nation of Israel in the book of Exodus. Obey God’s laws to live. If you shall then I will. 10 commandments then grew to 613 laws. Laws of rules and standards, creating hypocrisy and numbness.

NEW COVENANT: Was needed because the law will never change us from the inside out. The New Covenant is:

1. Based on what God says “I will do” not what you say you will do.

2. Because we are now led from within. Being changed on the inside.

3. We now have 24/7 access now to to God with Jesus as our mediator.

4. We have forgiveness of our sins. Removed and forgotten as far at the east is from the west and remembered no more. Paid in full from Adam to you today by Jesus. We have been forgiven.

Works based religion, an old covenant system, does not work anymore. Jesus came to tear that veil and break the wall of separation. No person can stand anymore between us and Him. It is time to let go of the old and take hold of the new, Jesus. He is the mediator for a better covenant with better promises.

Accept today God’s free gift of salvation. Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Seek Him while He can still be found. His evidence is all around us. How is your heart? If you have questions, need someone to talk to or would just like to say hi, contact us.
