Brother Jesse Lockhart preached from Hebrews 2 on the urgent call to “give the more earnest heed” to the Word we’ve heard, reminding us that God has spoken in these last days through His Son, whose first message was the simple but eternal command: repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. He warned how easily our distracted minds let truth slip away, how prayer and conviction fade when we don’t meditate on Scripture, and how the voice of Jesus—unlike any other—first spoke to each of us in salvation, saying plainly, “you’re lost.” Through examples of the centurion, the nobleman, and the astonished officers who declared “never man spake like this man,” he urged us not to let God’s words fall to the ground but to treasure them, think long on them, and respond while He is speaking, because the privilege of hearing the Word of God is too great to take lightly.
