Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                                    “Persevering Faith”
                                        Hebrews 12:1-3

Four Keys to Persevering:

1.        Remember the Hero’s of the Past

•   Define Faith: Heb. 11:1ff.
• Faith is confidence in God’s promises: Heb 10:36-39
• Two key promises:

              1)      Jesus is coming for us! Heb 10:37

               2)      We are being saved:  Heb 10:39

•  Even though they did not received “the promise:  Heb. 11:13

2.         Lighten Your Load 

•  He is talking about weight—like street clothes.
• What baggage are you carrying?
• What sin or sins are tripping you up?
• It is not sinful to be tempted: 1 Cor. 10:13

 

3.        Stay the Course 

•  How many ways are there to God?
• The Narrow way:  Mt. 7:13,14
• There is only one way: Jn. 14:6

 

4.        Keep Your Eye on the Goal

•  Jesus not only shows us the way but runs with us.  Phil 1:6.
• He is the Perfecter:  Perfection equals obedience.
•  Obedience equals love: 1 John 2:3-6
• The Joy is finishing the race; Rev 3:21
• There is a relationship between faith and Suffering: John 15:18-20
• A fact of Faith: 2 Tim 3:12
