Grow Up! (Hebrews 5:11-6:3) *Verses in NLT*

- The Book of Hebrews is written to, among others, the Christians in Rome, about the early 60s.

- The Christian community and house churches began there when those who were at Pentecost returned home around the 30s. That means 30 years of the gospel being preached in that area.

- Apostle Paul has be preaching and teaching for two decades by this time, and the word about Jesus has travelled all over the area, but those in Rome have been there from the beginning.

- After all this time, some witnessing the move of the Holy Spirit, or possibly even hearing firsthand accounts of meeting Jesus himself, what would you expect their spiritual maturity to be?

- So far in Hebrews, the author has been talking about:

- Jesus is superior to all things. Hebrews 1:3, The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.

- How important it is to know and understand the truth. Hebrews 2:1, So we must listen carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. 

- Hebrews has talked about:

- All things were created through Jesus… He brings us eternal life… The concept of Jesus being 100% God and 100% man…

- Jesus being the perfect sacrifice for sin, fulfilling the old testament sacrificial system…

- Many connections were made between Old Testament events and people, and how it relates to Jesus and today…

- Jesus is our perfect high priest, in the order of Melchizedek, deserving even more glory than Moses…

- This is the stuff that many of them have been taught about for years, week in and week out. It is complex, but the believers should have gained some mature understanding by now.

Hebrews 5:11-6:3 (NLT), There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. 

6 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. 2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.

Point #1. Babies eat milk. Adults eat meat.

- Food is a fun and easy spiritual metaphor. We all have a lifetime of experience with food. 

- Many of us also have a solid base knowledge of nutrition: (These are not trick questions!)

- What foods are bad for you? (Sugar). …and why?

- Sugar example: According to Florida, the average sugar cane stalk (6’ by 2” and 3lbs) is 85% juice, of which is 11% sugar by weight. One stock produces 132g or refined sugar.

- a 20oz bottle of Coke has 65g of sugar in it.

The Gospel of the Kingdom Matthew 4:23-25

Jesus is about his fathers business

The biggest theme that Jesus talked about was kingdom. He talked about it more than anything. And as Jesus is going out to do his ministry- we see him walking out being about that lifeLuke 2:49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”And that was what he was about- His father’s business. Nothing more- nothing less. Jesus’ push, was to please the father- and be about what he was to be about- The KingdomJohn 8:29  And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”Jesus was not a political revolutionary that worked within the worlds systems.  That’s not what he came to do. IT wasn’t his mission, or his intention to do so. He was only about what the Father was going to have him be about. They crucified him bc he would be their king. Today, there are many people who want to hijack the mission of Jesus and the church and turn him and it into their own political movement to accomplish their own polical meansPolitics are rife with sin and discord, and as Christians- we should be involved- but not see them as our savior. I am going to vote for whoever is going to help the church. If someone said I had to pay 20% tax, but protected the church- I would vote for them. But people want to turn Jesus into something unscriptural- tell him what he should be doing

John 6:38 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.If Jesus did what some of these people wanted they’d have him running for political office, changing laws, redistributing wealth, getting universal health care, fighting corporations, unionizing, marching for women, BLM, Anti-Guns, pro-guns, housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, doing a toy drive, building a house, or a whole host of other things. John 4:34 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.As a pastor- I can’t begin to describe to you the amount of people I have dealt with over the past 17 years that want me to get behind their missionI protect you, and the church- literally hundreds of people with all kinds of causes that want me to endorse them, put them in front of you, and have you champion their cause. Its almost weekly. But that’s not my mission. My mission is to pastor this flock. I need to shepherd our Church to be here in good repair when the Lord returns. I cannot allow someone to hijack our missionWorship, discipleship, giving, serving, fellowship. That’s the mission of the church. To the church, in the church, for the churchAnd the people that say that its church centric- don’t know their bibles- because the Bible is church centric. The mission is church centric. It all flows in and about and through and to the churchWhat does it mean to youDo not allow yourself to be pulled away from the fathers business and don’t feel bad about itYou cannot do all things for all people and be all things for all people. Please GodGalatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.You have to settle in your heart that pleasing God and being about his business is the only thing that matters to you. No matter what relationships it costs you. People struggle with being about the fathers business because they want for the things of this world. They find the Christian life restrictive and boring. 2 Corinthians 5:9   Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.Psalm 40:8 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

Law and order Hebrew 5:1-10

What comes to mind when I say, Law and Order?

The show – Crime fighting Developed country (Rights) developing country (Survival) Depending on where you are spiritually- these terms might mean something totally different thing to you based on a variety of things. If you have listened to Deacon Tiffany, then you might be thinking about what the Government is doing or not doingToday I want us to look at the part we play when it comes to God’s law and orderDon’t talking about others not doing – Let self-examine

Law- a set rules that regulates the actions of people and there are consequences when you don’t follow them.Order – Directions and instructionThe Bible is full of laws and an orderly way to do them.An order is established to be a guideline, In order to build a home- you need count the cost and start by laying the foundation For you to enjoy the benefit of a marriage bed, you need to be married For you to be considered a child of God, you have to die to self

READ THE SCRIPTURE – HEBREW 5:1-10Verses 1-4 gives the definition of and the criteria (Law) for being a priest and verse 5-10 (Order) show how Christ meets these criteria Law:High priest is taken among manAppointed for men, for your benefit – our benefits No one chooses himself – He is chosen by God just like Aaron was Jesus Himself was chosen as well- By GodHebrews 5:5 So too Christ (the Messiah) did not exalt Himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed and exalted by Him Who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have begotten You;The office of the Priest is nothing to campaign for- It is a chosen position by God There is no microwave ranking upThere are laws and order that govern what we are all called to doThere are dire consequences for trying to do it outside Gods law and order This is what happens to people that played Priest:Korah thought he could do it better than Moses – Swallowed by the ground (Numbers 16:20-35)Saul was impatient – Rejected by God (I Samuel 13:8-14)Uzziah appointed himself as a priest because he was strong– Leprosy (2 Chronicles 26:16)OrderThe Priest offer both Gifts and sacrifices for our sins He is compassion on those who are going astray (gentleness and forbearance towards the ignorant and erring – but he is also subject to weaknessHe offers sacrifices for his people- himself included as wellCarrying them in their thoughts  - On the breast plate of the high priest, there is 12 stones of Israelites and the shoulder straps were engraved with the names of the tribes – They were all in the heart and shoulder of the priest Make it easier for your pastors – Hebrew 13:17 - Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [continually recognizing their authority over you], for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls and guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account [of their trust]. [Do your part to] let them do this with gladness and not with sighing and groaning, for that would not be profitable to you [either].Obedience This is the glue what brings everything togetherHebrew 5:8 - Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He sufferedThe joy of suffering Though He was God…… (If Jesus can be obedient – there is no excuse of us not being to Him)He was human – He cried out Father remove this from me Having been perfected – He won the right to be the author of internal salvation for all who obey Hebrew 5:9 - And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey HimHe listened to authority set before him- so He could inherit that title – High Priest Obedience at the garden  Matthew 26:38-39 Then He said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved,

Leave the boat Matt 4:18-22

I watch a couple youtube channels about sailing- it’s a fantasy. Go and live on the seaThe truth is, its never going to happen- One- I don’t don’t know how 2. I don’t have a boat 3. It would be scary 4. God hasn’t called me to that. We must do what God has called us to- and we have all been called to leave the boat and followJesus calls the disciples. He goes and he finds Peter and Andrew, he calls, and they immediately follow. He sees two other brothers, and he calls them as well. 

What can we get from this scripture?

When Jesus calls, Respond

I was always taught as a child that when an adults asks you do to something, you do it, without commentary. You just do it. You’re a child. You can dissent when you’re an adult.Some people were never taught that way, so when it comes to the things of God, they seem to always want to discuss, and prolong the decision process- this wasn’t the case with these guysThey immediately v20 They immediately v22Jesus shows up, seemingly out of no where- and calls these guys according to the book of Luke, they may have heard Jesus preach before this time, but they were still willing to get moving“Immediately” there’s certainty to that word. There’s a powerful response to that word. It’s a right now- I’m doing it type of word. I know I talk about Military a lot- you probably get tired of it- but most of you didn’t serve. You don’t understand what its like to take military orders- you’ve never been broken- immediate compliance- Yes sergeant- moving sergeant. There’s no dissentMatthew 7:26-2726 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”It’s foolish. Why would you argue with Mr Jesus? What benefit is there to that? None. But people do it all the time- they know the truth, they hear the truth but they don’t respondIt’s the “I think my way is better “ version of Christianity. Some of you have been going to church for years, know what God has asked, and don’t moveThe Bible is a record where the obedient are praised and the disobedient are scornedWe all know this- its not a new revelation- but we all, at times will operate in delayed obedienceWhat does it mean to youAre you dragging your feet on Jesus? Has he come by, and spoken to you, but you have been taking your time, and not responding to him? Here’s where the “faith and not works” crowd always chimes in- the “Jesus paid it all” crowd. Jesus did pay it all, but he doesn’t do it all. James 2:14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?Those are challenging words for people that struggle with action and responsivenessThis following Jesus is a right now- get to work- lets go- endeavorMatthew 7:21 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.Years ago the Lord had laid on my heart to perform an action- and I was reluctant- the HS spoke to C to get to me- called that person right then and there on the phone- could take you intersection- you have to act immediately or else it wont happen. Get movingJames describes the people who refuse to answer the call of God on their life- James 1: 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.We must be diligent in our callings- we must give it our full attention- we can’t let up2 Peter 1:55 But also for this very r...

Matthew 4:12-17 Don’t give up the fightJesus is beginning his ministry- and John has been put in prison for preaching. Jesus leaves for Galilee, and ends up in Capernaum, which was a fulfillment of Isaiah 9. Then Jesus starts his ministry preaching repentance. We preach repentance almost every week. We’ll do it again. Not this week- This week I want to look at this beginning of Jesus mission as a means for us to be encourage to stay on missionWe’re on mission here at FVC. God has placed each and every one of us strategically to be here for such a time as this. I’ve complained about being in the PNW in the pulpit and online I apologize. I’m not going to complain about it anymore, and if I do, please correct meThere are people here that need Jesus and we are not going to give up the fight. If all the Christian churches leave Washington- its not just that the state will fail, but many people will not make it to heaven, and that should concern all of us. God needs more gloryThink about Jesus- he had to do what he came to do to benefit all of us- and we cant give up

Stay in the fight- Stay on mission - Fight

Folks- we are on mission- We must live out Matt 28:19. We cannot be pulled in another direction based on what the world is doing, or what is happening around us. Mission must goIn the beginning of this story- we see what happens- John goes to prison ostensibly for preaching repentance. It doesn’t say- but we can assume- Jesus continues his missionWhat happened to John wasn’t going to keep Jesus from doing his mission. He wasn’t givin upJesus is demonstrating here- Just because someone goes to prison for what you’re about to do- doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it. John preaches repentance- prison- Jesus- goes out and preaches repentance. We, as people of God- cannot be crippled by fear, because something bad happened to someone- and use that as an excuse or reason, why we cant do what we are supposed to doWho remembers 911? Devastating. I was on mission in Egypt- It continued- 2 Tim 1:7  For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.This is a true scripture! This is part of why Jesus came- to Heb2:15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.When Jesus came, he walked without fear, to empower us to walk without fear- John 14:27  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Do you believe that? Or have you given yourself over to fear? - FightI get it- this is a interesting time to live in- and I gave myself over to fear for a while back in the spring- but then I came to my senses- even if It means that I die, I’m not going to let a virus keep me from performing my mission- I’m just not. If Covid kills me- it will be because God wants to bring me home, and I can’t hide from it in my home. The savior I served said things to the men who were sent out to preach things like- Luke 10:19  Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.I get it! Fear is REAL- Fear of death is REAL. We’ve all probably feared at times- EVEN DAVID- Ps 55:4 My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.But just because you are afraid, and death is real- doesn’t mean you give up. it just doesntThe psalmist- Psalm 89:48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? SelahHebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,We’re all going to die at somepoint- but people have become this life worshippers to the point of giving up every last right and giving up the...

“I will give you (PASTORS) according My heart that will feed you with knowledge & understanding.”

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

Exodus 17:12 (KJV)

12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Hebrews 13:17 (NKJ)

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

1. Second Amendment A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. 

2. “Prefatory Phrase”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State. - State has right to ensure a well regulated militia (civilians) to defend against Federal Government. 

3. U.S. v Miller (Supreme Court, 1939)In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a [sewed-off shotgun]…has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia, we cannot say the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. 

4. “Operative Phrase”The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.- The right belongs to the individual for self-defense, not just for the State to have a militia 

5. District of Columbia v. Heller (Supreme Court, 2008)The right to bear arms has always been the distinctive privilege of freemen...The inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right…[and] the home [is] where the need for defense of self, family, and property is most acute. 

6. 14th Amendment - ratified in 1868All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any Sate deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 

7. Due Process Clause - State cannot deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law- Due process is “fundamental fairness” in the judicial process 

8. Griswold v. Connecticut (Supreme Court, 1965)The concept of liberty protects those personal rights that are fundamental, and is not confined to the specific terms of the Bill of Rights. My conclusion that the concept of liberty [embraces] the right of marital privacy though that right is not mentioned explicitly in the Constitution is supported by a number of decisions of this Court. 

9. Dissent in GriswoldI think this is an uncommonly silly law. But we are not asked in this case to say whether we think this law is unwise, or even asinine. We are asked to hold that it violates the United States Constitution. And that I cannot do. I can find no such general right of privacy in the Bill of Rights, in any other part of the Constitution, or in any case ever before decided by this Court. 

10. Justice Scalia on Abortion/Privacy as a 14th Amendment RightBut some of the liberties the Supreme Court has found to be protected by that word - liberty - nobody thought constituted a liberty when the 14th Amendment was adopted. Abortion? It was criminal in all the states.

11. Equal Protection ClauseNo State shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 

12. Classifications for Level of ScrutinyRational Basis - lowest level of scrutiny, government only needs to show “rational reason” for denying equal protection to particular groupe.g. Business closures 

13. Classifications for Level of Scrutiny (cont’d)Intermediate Scrutiny - middle level of scrutiny, government needs to show “compelling reason” for denying equal protection to particular gr...

Matthew 4:1-11 - breadI love bread. All of it. Donuts. Pretzels. White bread. Rolls. Cinnamon rolls. Bread sticks.I never met a carb I didn’t like. I could make fresh bread all day every day and be fineHere’s the problem- Jesus says- you can’ t live on that. You might be able to live, but you cantYou can’t live on Bread- you need the word of God. You need to feast on it. You need to know it

We live by the word of God4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”You hear me and us talk a lot about the Bible here- Its something that we believe in and that we preach and stake our lives onFor some people, that’s a struggle because they have never lived by any restraints ever. But even your job has some sort of guiding principles, no matter how weird they may beWe put full trust in the Bible. We believe we’re going to heaven based on the Bible. That we’re forgiven from our sins. That God speaks to us, and we can listen and communicate. We believe in all the stories. It literally directs every affair of my life. Wife, kids, finances, health, relationships, what I watch, where I go, who I am friends with. I am directed in all aspects of my life by this book. – When I first got saved- Go get a bible- read it- do what it says. Still have itBut why? Why is the Bible central to our faith? Some will say that I don’t have to read my Bible to believe in Jesus. But this is the best selling, most studied, translated, distributed book in the world. It’s one of the few books that people are actually afraid of. Governments fear it.But why?? Why does it direct our lives? Why a book? Easy- Verbal Plenary InspirationEasy for you to say- 2 Ti 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.What does that mean? Verbal- Every word. Plenary- All parts are divinely authorative . Inspiration God guided the ProcessVerbal Plenary Inspiration means that Every word in the bible, all parts of it, in its entirety is authorative by God and because of God who guided the process of it being written and recorded in history 2 Peter 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but [a]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

means- men didn’t sit down to write the book to do anything more than what God told them.40 authors over 1500 years wrote the Bible and it all fits together. Because God directed themJesus said this about the OT- Luke 16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.The Apostle Paul said this- Romans 15:4  For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.Paul, the former Christian killing Jew, says, everything that was written was for usAnd who can testify this morning that Bible has changed their life? Redirected your path, comforted you, loved you, spoke to you, inspired you, helped you, healed you, changed you!Psalm 119:105  Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.Every last part of this Bible- every jot and tittle- meaning every small part. Every word. If its plural or not. If its included or not. Its all there for a reason to teach us something and shouldn’t be discounted for any reasonThis is why we defend this thing so deeply. It doesn’t change because God doesn’t change.Proverbs 30:5-6  Every word of God is [a]pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.Now, the words themselves have no power. They are just words.

Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land

1. Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in First AmendmentCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

2. Samuel Adams, The Rights of Colonists as Christians, 1772[Our rights] may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law-giver and head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament…there shall be liberty of conscience allowed in the worship of God to all Christians. 

3. James Madison, Delivery to House of Representatives in 1789 and First Inaugural Address in 1809I will state my reasons why I think it proper to propose amendments…the civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed. 

  In these my confidence will under every difficulty be placed…in the guidance of that Almighty Being whose power regulates the destiny of nations…and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and   best hopes for the future. 

4.  Courts have ruled that in public school, the Christians’ free speech and free exercise of religion infringes upon Establishment Clause and the students’ right to undue religious influence. - teacher silently reading Bible in classroom prohibited - voluntary prayer in school prohibited- student writing paper about Jesus’ life prohibited

5. Rulings with regard to other government employees - Knight v. Connecticut Dept. of Public Health, 2nd Circuit (2001)

At a minimum, the Establishment Clause prohibits government from appearing to take a position on questions of religious belief. Thus, the interest of the State in avoiding an Establishment Clause violation may be a compelling one justifying an abridgment of free speech/free exercise otherwise protected by First Amendment. 

6.  Constitution Annotated

The Free Exercise clause’s purpose is to secure religious liberty in the individual by prohibiting any invasions there by civil authority…But when it comes to protecting conduct…it has long been held that the Free Exercise Clause does not necessarily prevent the government from requiring or forbidding an act. 

7.  Smoking peyote and animal sacrifice cases 

The test is whether the restriction of conduct is “neutral and generally applicable” and the “time, place, and manner restriction is reasonable” 

8. Youngstown v. Sawyer, U.S. Supreme Court (1952) “Steel Seizure Case”

The example of such unlimited power that must have most impressed the forefathers was the prerogative exercised by George III, and the description of its evils in the Declaration of Independence leads me to doubt that they were creating the new Executive in his image. 

9. Young v. State, WA Supreme Court (1985)

Governor lacks inherent power except as delegated by the Constitution or statute.

10. Washington Governor derives power from statute - RCW 43.06.220

(1) The governor after proclaiming a state of emergency and prior to terminating such, may, in the area described by the proclamation, issue an order prohibiting:

(b) Any number of persons, as designated by the governor,
