Pressing On to Maturity

Things That Belong to God's Salvation

True salvation bears the fruit of grace that belongs to salvation. Hebrews 6:9–12 teach that God is too just to forget the Spirit-wrought love, labor, and perseverance He has produced in His people. The believer’s assurance then, rests not in empty profession, but in Christ’s finished work, God’s faithful justice, and a persevering faith that presses on until His promises are inherited.

The Finality of Apostasy

This sermon confronts the danger of superficial faith and false assurance while calling sinners to flee to Christ while mercy is still extended. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. This is a public episode.
