April 21, 2024: “Keep Pressing On”

Call To Worship:

“House of the Lord”

Words from the Word: (NKJV):

Philippians 3:12-16

Worship In Song:

“The Blessing”

“Gratitude”

Message: “Keep Pressing On”

Hebrews 6:1-8

The Exhortation

Hebrews 6:1-3

Exhortation meaning - “to cause someone to be encouraged or consoled, either by verbal or non-verbal means - “to encourage, to console, encouragement.”

The Warning

Hebrews 6:4-6

Four Interpretations…

First, it is a warning against apostasy or losing one’s salvation.

Second, it is a judgment against false believers, though professing trust in Christ, who in reality are not saved.

Third, it is a caution against spiritual immaturity, to encourage believers to press on to spiritual maturity to avoid the discipline of God, which would be certain to come if they were to remain stagnant or regress spiritually.

Fourth, it is an assurance to believers through a timely illustration.

The Consequences

Hebrews 6:7-8

Matthew 7:16-20

John 15:1-2

John 15:4-5

Hebrews 6:8

How well are you pressing on in your faith in Jesus Christ?

What kinds of fruit is your life as a believer producing?

Response in Song:

“Gratitude”
