Your life is the product of your habits—and it shows. How do you start something new? It’s clear and easy—and that’s what this message is about.

Most of us struggle to create meaningful and lasting change in our lives. Change is hard. But God has designed us so to be capable to change. Only when we understand the design, can we create the right kind of change.

   No one likes to go through a period of pain or hardship, but when we have the right perspective, we can endure and grow from it. The author of Hebrews teaches us that hardship can actually be God’s discipline in our lives. And discipline brings growth.

  Faith is a central concept in Christianity, but we often misunderstand what faith is. In Hebrews, we come to see what faith is in a powerful way.

God never took pleasure in sacrifices and offerings. So, Jesus became the perfect sacrifice and showed us that obedience is what God takes pleasure in.

  Often we choose the easy way out, with the result that we don’t mature like we should. When we get comfortable spiritually, we can stunt our spiritual growth. There’s a way forward, but it takes more than what we can do on our own.

When we don’t have confidence, it’s hard to get it back. This is especially true in our spiritual lives. The good news is that we don’t have to get our own confidence, because Jesus has done everything we need to have confidence.

Jesus is...well, it’s complicated. The author of Hebrews can’t describe Jesus with a simple phrase. He makes a long list--and he’s just getting started.

What is my purpose? It's a question that every one of us has asked. If we wanted to become the people God created us to be, we need to know the right answer.

What we want in life changes all the time. And often the thing we most desire today is not what will lead us where we want to go in the future. We need something deeper than our desires in order to live into God's future. Thankfully, the Bible shows us what we are missing.
