The Book of Hebrews, May 5 2019
May God Empower us to do His Will
Today’s Preacher: Stephen Baxter
Warning 1: Against neglecting the gospel
Hebrews contains five warnings, each encouraging us to keep following Jesus. We face challenges from living in a society that is far from God, but the direct encouragement from Hebrews is that Jesus is real, loving, present and active and able to empower us to follow him.
Guiding Passage: Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV:
[20] Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, [21] equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
