“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear” Hebrews 12:28. We have the hope of a future kingdom, and the first fruits of it right now through the Holy Spirit! This verse coming to us following […]
Now having laid aside those things that would impede our Christian race, Hebrews 12:1 continues, “let us run with endurance the race that is set before us”; this is constancy, it is keeping our eyes on the goal, it is not being distracted by surroundings or circumstances, it is standing our ground under the stress […]
Coming on the heels of the listing of the great heroes of faith Hebrews 12:1 says “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…” not necessarily as spectators watching us from heaven, but more likely the witness of their lives having set for us the example of their overcoming […]
“…let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works” Hebrews 10:24. As Christians we are to live and do those things that glorify God, and we are also responsible to encourage and incite one another to do the same! God has so ordained that we need one another; as Christians […]

In Hebrews 6:1 we read “Therefore leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection”. Perfection here means completeness or maturity; it is like moving from first to second grade, not repeating the first over and over again, but building on the foundation that has already been laid. 2 […]
Our next stop in Hebrews is at 4:14, “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest…Jesus the Son of God, Let us hold fast our confession.” Confession of Him, to Him, and of what His (God’s) word says about us, not our feelings nor our emotions, which can be very great, but can also […]
Hebrews 4:16 says “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” We are invited to come into the very presence of God like a child approaching their parent with outspokenness, unreserved utterance, frankness, candor, and cheerful courage, totally expressing […]
