Treasured Truth

Today, Pastor Ford will share a grid of 10 principles through which all of our personal communication should pass. It’s designed to help us communicate in the way that God wants us to—speaking the truth in love to each other.

Do you only see the trials and the tragedies around you, or do you also see the Lord? Do you see the providential hand of God working in your life? If not, then you’ll want to listen as Pastor Ford reminds us today of how we can trust God when we feel like our back is up against the wall.

When we face trails and we feel we have nowhere to turn, God wants us to know that He is bigger than what’s bigger than we are. And when we attach ourselves to Him, we don’t have to worry about what we’re going through.

When our back is up against the wall, we have to seek the face of the Father. We have to know that Christ is there with us because He has promised to never leave us, nor forsake us.

When your back is against the wall, do you realize that God is there with you? You may not feel like He’s there, but Pastor Ford will remind us today that the Bible tells us that He really is already there, waiting to assist us in our time of need.

As we wrap up our study in Hebrews 4 today, Pastor Ford will continue to explain Who it is that we serve. Hebrews identifies Jesus as the Great High Priest and we’ll hear some practical application related to what the means for each of us as believers.

Today, Pastor Ford will explain that our speech is a reflection of our heart condition and our spirituality. Others can tell how spiritual we are by what comes out of our mouths. It’s another great reminder for us all, on the next Treasured Truth

As we continue our study in Hebrews 4, we’ll look further at Who Jesus is as our Great High Priest. And Pastor Ford will encourage us to consider Who it is we have on our side—He’s the Son of God, which makes Him the perfect person and the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

In this new year, we can be the success that Christ wants us to be if we realize that He’s the reason for our success. And we need to understand that we serve The Great High Priest, Who is personal to us. He’ll be for us whatever we need for Him to be.

Who do we serve? Christ is described in scripture as “The Great High Priest” Who is present in our lives. He proved through Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that He’s a very present help in the time of trouble. But here’s the problem—we don’t really understand Who He is and many of us don’t recognize Him when He comes to us in our trouble.
