So, the author of Hebrews encouraged them to endure and remain faithful to Christ by offering a collection of Old Testament witnesses. If God did amazing things through their faith, why would we ever shrink back from our own?

God Speaks Through His SonIn the past, God spoke through prophets and visions (Hebrews 1:1).Now, He has spoken most clearly through Jesus (Hebrews 1:2–3).Jesus is the Word made flesh (John 1:14).All Scripture points to Him (John 5:39–40).To see and hear Jesus is to see and hear the very Word of God.II. God Speaks Through His SpiritThe Spirit convicts, reveals truth, glorifies Jesus, and guides believers (John 16:8,13–14).The Spirit actively leads God's people (Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 13, Acts 16).The Spirit convicts while the enemy accuses.The Spirit reveals truth while the enemy confuses.The Spirit glorifies Jesus while the enemy glorifies self.III.

What do you do with the parts of yourself you’d rather hide? This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer shaped by the 12 steps. Step Four says: “We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our lives.” That can sound intimidating. But this meditation isn’t about doing a deep dive into every detail of your past or present. Instead, it’s an invitation to rest in the truth that God already knows everything about you — and He still loves you. Hebrews 4 reminds us: “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” But it also shows us the good news: Jesus is our great high priest. He knows what it is to be human. He empathizes with our weakness. And because of Him, we can “approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” In today’s meditation, you’ll pause with Hebrews 4:13–16 and be reminded that there is nothing in you that surprises God — and nothing He cannot redeem. You’ll be invited to come honestly and boldly into His presence, and to receive the mercy and grace He longs to give. Take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s meditate on these truths together.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

# Books of the Book: Embracing God's Word In today's sermon, we embarked on a journey to rediscover the profound impact and necessity of being diligent students of the Bible. As we delve into the series "Books of the Book," the focus is on understanding why engaging with Scripture is crucial for spiritual growth and resilience in a chaotic world. ## The Call to Stand Firm in Truth Pastor Chris opened with a reflection on the chaotic state of the world, emphasizing the Christian duty to respond with courage and truth. He cited **Ephesians 6:12**, reminding us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil. This sets the stage for the critical need to anchor ourselves in God's Word, which is the ultimate source of truth and peace. ## The Importance of Bible Engagement The sermon highlighted a concerning trend: many believers neglect regular Bible reading. Statistics show that only 11% of Christians read the Bible daily, while a significant portion never intends to engage with Scripture at all. This neglect, Pastor Chris argues, is a form of self-sabotage, depriving us of spiritual nourishment and guidance. ### Biblical Foundations for Success 1. **Joshua 1:7-9** - God promises Joshua success if he meditates on and obeys His Word. This passage underscores that true prosperity comes from aligning with God's commands. 2. **Proverbs 2:6** - Solomon reveals that wisdom, necessary for making life's difficult decisions, comes from God's Word. 3. **Matthew 4:4** - Jesus, during His temptation, affirms that man shall not live on bread alone but on every word from God. This illustrates the soul's need for spiritual sustenance. ## The Transformative Power of Scripture - **Hebrews 4:12** describes the Bible as living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, capable of discerning thoughts and intentions. This power is vital for personal transformation and spiritual maturity. ### Practical Steps to Engage with Scripture - **Prioritize Quiet Time:** Commit to daily Bible reading as a non-negotiable part of life. - **Let God Speak:** Move beyond devotional snippets to immersive Scripture reading. - **Apply the Word:** Live out the teachings found in the Bible, ensuring they guide daily actions and decisions. ## Building a Foundation on the Rock In closing, Pastor Chris referenced **Matthew 7:24-27**, where Jesus likens those who hear and act on His words to a wise man building his house on the rock. This parable serves as a stark reminder that only by grounding ourselves in Scripture can we withstand life's storms. ## Conclusion The sermon concluded with a call to action: to be a people of the Word and prayer, shining God's light in a dark world. By embracing Scripture, we not only enrich our spiritual lives but also prepare ourselves to be vessels of God's peace and truth. --- As we continue this series, let us commit to making the Bible a central part of our lives, ensuring that God's wisdom and truth guide us in every step.

Scripture:Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised., King James VersionIn this episode, we are seeking the Lord on behalf of several right now issues that we are facing on this earth.

In Scripture, our faith journeys are often likened to a race—a test of endurance and resilience in our pursuit of Christlikeness, the ultimate prize. But in moments when we fall short and feel tempted to give in to discouragement, how can we continue to persevere in faith? It's easy to be overwhelmed by our shortcomings and challenges, especially when the goal feels distant. Yet, if we draw strength from the example of those who have gone before us and keep our eyes fixed on Christ—turning to Him in our trials—we can learn to endure alongside the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-4 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. God Disciplines His Children 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

The meaning of Christmas is that God got flesh and blood. In Jesus Christ the holy and transcendent God became really and fully and truly human. He shared in our humanity. I submit to you that the traditional, moralistic religion has completely forgotten this whole idea. In fact, I submit to you that if you and I really understood the fact that Jesus Christ shares in our humanity, we'd live differently.  What does that teach us about God? It teaches us three things: 1) God has a concern for the physical, 2) God has a knowledge of the sorrowful, and 3) God desires the relational. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 18, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 2:14-18.

Abraham is a lot like many of us, who are not from where we now live. We've been brought somewhere from elsewhere. Abraham is the same. Abraham left his home community and became an exile. The Bible tells us repeatedly in the New Testament that each of us should see ourselves as exiles. We should live where we're called to live as exiles. What does that mean? What did Abraham actually do in his exile? Let's look at what the Bible says about how Christians are supposed to relate to the cities to which they've been called.  We learn three things from this passage: 1) God builds cities, 2) God sends people to cities, and yet at the same time, 3) God frees us from cities. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 11, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16.

Hebrews is written to people who had suffered a great deal of persecution and difficulty. They were getting discouraged. Some of them were saying, “What good is this Christianity? We're good people. Why are such bad things happening to us?” The writer is showing them that they have resources as Christians such that they can face life, no matter what it throws at them, with greatness and power and stamina. And in Hebrews 12, we come to the final case study that shows this. We come to Jesus himself. By looking at what Jesus suffered, why Jesus suffered, and how he suffered, we learn how we can face anything and triumph. This passage shows us three basic principles: 1) you will handle life's difficulties depending on your focus, 2) you will deal with your troubles as long as you understand Jesus' work, and 3) you should discern his model. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 4, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-13.

The whole story of Moses and the leading out, the exodus, of the people of Israel out of Egypt and out of their slavery is all told in Hebrews 11 in just a couple of phrases. In the Passover's ordinance of the death of a lamb and taking shelter under its blood, God gave the Israelites and anyone who wanted to read the Old Testament a clue to the meaning of the universe. Look at Jesus as Lamb, and a tremendous greatness of life will develop. This is the object of our faith. This is the thing we look at to become people of faith. From looking at Jesus as our Passover, Jesus as the Lamb of God, we get three lessons: 1) we see everybody deserves judgment, 2) Jesus' death is a propitiation, and 3) the reason Jesus Christ was so weak as the Lamb was because his love was so strong. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 20, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:27-29.

Is it possible in a throwaway culture, in a society of throwaway relationships, and in a society of throwaway identities to be a person who can endure and hyperstand?  To hyperstand means you put your feet down and nothing can knock you off your feet. It's like you're in a river, but you can stand in the river. That's what the book of Hebrews is about. And in the life of Moses, we see the secret of endurance, of someone who stands firm in the long run. Let's look at 1) what Moses endured, and 2) how he did it.

If we live a big life of faith, how will it show itself in the most specific and particular daily lifestyle details?  The writer of Hebrews shows us the lifestyle of a person of faith. If circumstances and events and troubles no longer have the mastery over us, if we instead master them, what kind of people will we be in the way we live? We will be characterized by a lifestyle of openness and generosity.  There are three kinds of openness and generosity that are mentioned in this passage: 1) living space, 2) social situations, and 3) your finances.

How can you live a life so no matter what comes at you, you face it with equilibrium, you face it with poise, you face it with strength?  Today we come to an incident in Abraham's life which is called a test. In the beginning of this particular brief account, it says God tested Abraham. This is the secret of a great life. The secret of a great life is to understand you become great only through tests.  We have to understand 1) there are tests, 2) how these tests work, 3) why we need these tests, and 4) how we pass these tests.

There's one guy who is so preeminently an example of a life of faith that three religions look to him as the paragon of faith. That guy's name is Abraham.  Here's the story of Abraham's life: God said, “Get out!” Abraham said, “Where?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just go.” The Lord said, “I will give you this land.” Abraham said, “When?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just wander around in tents.” The Lord said, “I will give you a son.” Abraham said, “How?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just wait around.” The Lord said, “Slay your son.” Abraham said, “Why?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just walk up the hill with him.” If you read the whole narrative, you'll find that he fell down a number of times. But every time Abraham masters the situation.  In the face of it, the circumstances didn't master Abraham. How? Three principles: 1) he heard the call of God, 2) he obeyed the call of God, and 3) he looked to the city with foundations.

Abraham had greatness in the face of a completely uncertain future. He had no idea what was coming, and yet he lived a life of greatness. How can we?  The writer of Hebrews is writing to a group of Christians whose lives were going very badly. And in chapter 11, he says to them, “You don't understand. The great men and women of God have never had designer lives. Yet they lived great lives.” And Abraham is perhaps the greatest case given. How we can live life with greatness, with stability, with confidence? There are three principles: 1) the negative principle, 2) the positive principle, and 3) the ultimate principle.
