Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Chase Harrison (preached on July 14, 2024)

Recently we were blessed to have Elder Chase Harrison with us here at Zion Church. He preached a powerful message about the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is not some future kingdom that is yet to be established, but rather was given to Christ by the Father and established by Christ on earth as his Church. Join us today for the first half of this powerful sermon on the Kingdom of God.

In the first half of this sermon, we were beginning to see that God “shook things up” when He sent Christ to the earth. The writer compares the “shaking” that occurred on earth at Sinai with the “shaking” that occurred of heaven and earth in Bethlehem. Join us as we continue examining how things were “shaken up” with the first coming of Christ.

As we continue our study of the Book of Hebrews, we come to the end of the twelfth chapter and one of the last admonitions from the writer: refuse not Him that speaketh! The point here is that we should listen to God and obey His word. In support of this command, the writer engages in a “grand summation” of all his prior arguments about why Christianity is superior to Judaism. He refers to a great “shaking” that has occurred with the advent of Christ; join us as we examine this rich exposition of the change that has occurred in the Person and work of Christ.

As we began to see yesterday, the contrast between the two mountains of Sinai and Sion is stark! Sinai represents the Law worship in Old Testament times; Sion represents grace worship in New Testaments days. Join us today for the conclusion of this sermon about the great blessing of public worship under grace as opposed to the old public worship under Law.

In the passage before us today, the writer paints a vivid contrast between public worship under the Law and public worship in the church by comparing two mountains: Sinai and Sion. Sinai represents the Law, Sion represents grace. This is the “grand summation” of all the arguments in the book of Hebrews regarding the supplanting of Old Testament Law worship and New Testament grace worship. Join us today as we begin to contrast the two mountains of Law and grace.

As we conclude this sermon on patience, which in Scripture simply means “keeping on keeping on,” we find that not only should we be encouraged by God’s chastening of us, but we also ought to be encouraged by His great love for us. That love was never more on display than when Jesus died on the cross for us! Join us as we continue to explore patience in our race of discipleship.

We have seen that the writer of Hebrews admonishes us to “run the race” with patience as he begins chapter 12. He goes on to encourage us to this same patience, which simply means “keeping on keeping on”, while giving us some important encouragement about that very kind of faith. First he tells us that Jesus is with us, so we ought to keep on keeping on. Then he tells us that even the chastening of God should encourage us, for that is evidence that we indeed ARE children of God! Join us today for the first half of this message on “patience.”

As we saw in the last message, we are running a “race of discipleship” while here on earth. Like most runners, there are times when we get tired and feel like quitting. To whom can we look when we feel the exhaustion of the world overtaking us? There is only One: Jesus! Join us today as we see that we can look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, for help in the race of discipleship.

As we began to see yesterday, our life of discipleship is like a race. When running a race, we don’t burden ourselves down with weights; rather, we discard the weights so that we can run faster! Join us today as we continue looking at the race of discipleship, and learn some more about running that race with patience.

Having recently finished examining the “Hall of Faith” chapter in Hebrews 11, we come to chapter 12 and the admonition of the opening verse to “run your race with patience.” The writer compares the life of discipleship to a race, and gives some exhortations and admonitions regarding this race. Join us as we begin looking today at the race of discipleship, and the manner in which we should patiently run it.
