Sincerely Yours

Not long ago, a Grade 1 teacher gave her 6-year-old students the first half of some common life proverbs just to see how these children, in their limited life experience, would end them. They are incredibly cute, but do their "words of wisdom" hold a deeper meaning? Find out in this Sincerely Yours devotional podcast based in Hebrews 7.

In the 4th century, revered theologian Gregory of Nazianzus compiled a list of “oddities” regarding the life of Jesus. While the statements are true, their subtle irony will leave you scratching your heads. But as we continue our Sincerely Yours journey through the book of Hebrews, we find that, in God's plan, it all makes sense.

As we’re looking into the 6th chapter of Hebrews, we find the author continues to encourage his readers to move beyond the basics of their belief and boldly enter into the deeper things of God. He challenges them to stand against something we could all use a lesson on… spiritual indifference… apathy. Learn how knowing God better produces a passion for loving others more in this episode of Sincerely Yours.

Learning to dig deeper and explore what is still hidden inside us are two lessons we can learn from great minds Michelangelo and Ralph Waldo Emerson in this Sincerely Yours devotional. As we continue in the book of Hebrews, God instructs us to do the same about our faith, to stop going over basic Christianity and learn how to create our grand work of art -- a life rooted deeper in Him.

How often do we find ourselves guilty of proclaiming that we walk with Jesus while still clinging on to old selfish ways? Like little children, do we still ask God all the time what He can do for us instead of asking what we can do for Him? This Sincerely Yours devotional tells us the most important requirement to living God’s best: growing out of childhood faith and into real, mature faith.

God knows that with our old “human nature” we automatically hold ourselves up to Jesus and inevitably fall short. This causes us to timidly retreat into self-pity and guilt, further away from God. But that's where the beauty of God’s grace comes in. That's the focus of this Sincerely Yours devotional based in the 4th chapter of the book of Hebrews.

Scholars agree that Jesus was a clearly documented Person from history, so the question of His identity is a valid one. But just who is Jesus, and why did He come? That's the subject of this Sincerely Yours devotional based in Hebrews 3.

It’s been said that the fear of death underlies most of our phobias.  But if perhaps we could begin to see death through the lens of what Jesus has accomplished on the Cross then maybe our fears wouldn’t carry so much weight.  Listen in as we explore in this Sincerely Yours devotional.

This episode of Sincerely Yours starts our journey in the book of Hebrews. Though the author is unknown, we do know is that they referred to the Old Testament more than 80 times, showing that Jesus truly was the fulfillment of its promises - Jesus is “God the Son” - the exact representation of the Father’s being and the ONLY ingredient in man’s hope for eternity.

Today we’re looking into the book of Philemon. It's a short book, only 25 verse long, but contains a poignant lesson in how we need to live out our faith. Listen in and learn why our actions and words should align with our relationship with Jesus.






Philemon (NIV)
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker— 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home:
3 Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. 6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement,because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus,[b] who became my son while I was in chains. 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forcedbut would be voluntary. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
