Our Perfect High Priest

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

Hebrews 6:4–8 delivers a terrifying warning to those who persistently resist the light of the gospel: there comes a point when repentance becomes impossible. After repeated exposure to truth, continual rejection of Christ hardens the heart beyond recovery, leaving nothing but judgment for the apostate. 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.

Pressing On to Maturity

In Hebrews 6:1–3, we are confronted with the sobering reality that hearing truth is not the same as growing by truth. God did not save His people to remain spiritually stagnant, but to press on toward Christlike maturity through grace-fueled obedience and dependence upon Him. This is a public episode.

Milk and Meat

With urgent pastoral pleading and piercing biblical clarity, the preacher of Hebrews calls the church to stop wasting sermons, fight sin seriously, and hunger once again for Christ.

Guard What Has Been Entrusted

God's truth is not clay in the preacher’s hands; it is a treasure in the preacher’s custody. 1 Timothy reminds the church that she must guard the deposit entrusted to her, silence error, and stand firm in sound doctrine.
