049. Hebrews 11:1-3 "Living by Faith" Part 1

049. Hebrews 11:1-3 "Living by Faith" Part 1

“Living By Faith” • Hebrews 11:1-3 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. In Chapter 11, the Apostle continues his encouragement to draw nigh unto God in fellowship rather than drawing back. The chapter begins with an amazing definition of faith. The Hebrew Christians, as well as all born again children of God, possess the Holy Spirit which gives them faith. This intrinsic trust looks for a hope outside of this fallen world. We see in these first few verses that faith allows us to see and believe that the universe was created in order by the Son of God, Jesus Christ. And, if this faith is in us, we can use it to live in hope of glory despite the present troubles of life.  This message was preached on Sunday, December 8, 2024.

048. Hebrews 10:25-39 • "Forsaking" Part 2

“Forsaking” • Hebrews 10:25-39 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. The writer of Hebrews reached the pinnacle of his argument on the superiority of Jesus to all things in the first part of chapter 10. His ultimate point is that God has now blessed man with the opportunity to worship Him with full understanding of Who He is and what He has done for the elect through the finished work of Jesus Christ. He now offers a stern warning to those who leave off regular worship of Jesus in the public assembly. The Lord considers the public worship of the Son to be the most important thing that man can do. We should view it with the same high regard. Part 2 begins with the reminder that we have been saved from the wrath of God and eternal separation from Him. We need to continually remind ourselves that we have not only been saved to some things we have been saved from some things as well. This message was preached on Sunday, December 1, 2024.
