From Hebrews 5:11-6:12, we learn that maturity in Christ matters. Children of God are earnest to pursue this maturity that is built on the elementary foundation of the Gospel. What is it that makes us complacent and dull of hearing to the voice of God?

Jesus is our high priest that we can run to in our time of need. Do you know Jesus as this great high priest? Will you run to Jesus in confession? Will you run to Jesus in prayer? Will you run to Jesus and plead for mercy? Will you run to Jesus and look for strength?

Nothing can be more worthy of your time than wanting to know God more. The God who wrote the Scriptures did so through His spirit, and He gives us that same spirit today to help us. Even still, God's word is powerful. Hebrews 4 tells us His word is living & active, sharp & piercing and discerning.

We need Jesus and we are called to settle for nothing less than basking in and enjoying His love, mercy, grace, and acceptance which he extends to all who believe.

From Hebrews 3:7-19. This passage is a second warning in the book of Hebrews and it challenges us to look at the fruit of our life and ask ourselves - does our fruit show a root of faith in Jesus? The purpose of writing these warning passages is not to push anyone away from God, but it is to draw us close to God.

The pathway to hope in God’s eternal plan for us is to observe who Christ is and what Christ has done for us.

Jesus has done everything to bring you to glory. It is not about who you are and what you have done, it is about who He is and what He has done. From this passage, we see 3 things Jesus did for us: He became human, He propitiated our sins, and He suffered tempation...all things to bring us to glory.

We continue in our series, Out of the Shadows. This week's sermon is from Hebrews 2:5-9.

Where else are we looking for joy, deliverance, and hope? If Jesus is the Great Messenger, then clinging to Jesus is our only hope. Let us fight drift together and let us help each other stay anchored to the Word of Truth.

We know God because God chose to make Himself known. And those things that we know have been made clear to us and they belong to us. We need no other revelation. Because we know that Jesus is the heir of all things, Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God and we know that Jesus upholds the universe by His word, how do we then fix ourselves upon Him?
