00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.339
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.500
! Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:16.219
 We're returning this morning to our study through the book of Hebrews,

00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:23.600
! where the writer has been telling us over and over about the greatness of Jesus, right?

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.800
 So that we will not drift away from Him, but we'll hold fast to Him.

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:39.079
 In fact, he's just started talking about Jesus as our great high priest, the one who brings us to God.

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.579
 And he has mentioned that Jesus is a priest in the order of Melchizedek.

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:53.340
 And he wants to explain that big unfamiliar name to us and all that that means about who Jesus is.

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.219
 It's rich teaching in the rest of this written sermon.

00:00:58.219 --> 00:01:09.799
 But first, before he dives into that more, he stops and he wants to speak as a pastor to these early Christians.

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.879
 He loves them enough to say some really hard things.

00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.899
 Some of them are famously hard to understand.

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:24.019
 Others are hard to hear, hard to embrace.

00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:29.780
 There's a challenge with immediate urgency.

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.419
 There's a warning this morning with eternal ramifications.

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:40.379
 And thankfully, there's also a comfort full of hope for us.

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:46.219
 And it is important to the writer that everyone in the church hears all three of them.

00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:49.459
 All for everyone.

00:01:50.039 --> 00:01:56.480
 So we're going to read them and we're going to talk about them one at a time after we pray.

00:01:56.819 --> 00:01:59.079
 Let's ask for God's help to hear from Him.

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:07.439
 Father, we need that to hear from you as we open your word.

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:09.719
 We're so grateful for it.

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:16.520
 And I'm just so aware this morning that I don't have the skill to explain it adequately.

00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:24.860
 They don't have the attention span to hear it as they need.

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:32.940
 We together don't have the wisdom on our own to know everything it means for us in our lives.

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.280
 And so we need you.

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:35.460
 You know this, Father.

00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:37.140
 We need your spirit.

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:44.260
 We need you to speak through your word that we might hear your voice and know your love.

00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:46.320
 And we ask it in Jesus' name.

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:47.380
 Amen.

00:02:47.380 --> 00:02:47.560
 Amen.

00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:53.080
 First, a challenge.

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.719
 Hebrews 5 and verse 11.

00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:03.160
 About this, this Melchizedek and Jesus being a high priest.

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.100
 About this we have much to say.

00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:11.760
 And it is hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing.

00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:15.240
 For though by this time you ought to be teachers,

00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:20.740
 you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God.

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:23.620
 You need milk, not solid food.

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:29.480
 For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness since he is a child.

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:39.780
 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:45.479
 Therefore, let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity.

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:57.039
 Not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.079
 And this we will do if God permits.

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:12.919
 Imagine being in a graduate level seminar to discuss Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.039
 Or the U.S. Constitution.

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.819
 Or Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:25.939
 And you get together with everybody in the class and all the students can do when they get together is sing the ABC song.

00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:28.219
 It's a good song.

00:04:29.099 --> 00:04:31.199
 I mean, you need to know the ABCs.

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:34.719
 But you need to be able to put them together.

00:04:35.219 --> 00:04:38.519
 You need to be able to read in order to discuss your thoughts.

00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:46.599
 Or imagine the Von Trapp children who learn Do, Re, Mi, and so on.

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.359
 And then they say, well, that's a very good place to start.

00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:53.899
 But what else do you sing?

00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:00.620
 Imagine if they had stopped there and never built on that foundation of those notes.

00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:05.079
 We'd never hear the inspiration to climb every mountain.

00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:17.959
 Imagine if after pouring the foundation of the Eiffel Tower, they never built anything that went above ground level.

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:25.639
 Or if in your home, all you had was a rock foundation that was just poured over and over.

00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.479
 Imagine all that you'd be missing out on if you just had a concrete slab.

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.519
 The foundation is important.

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.860
 Very important.

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:42.139
 But how much beauty and goodness would we miss out on if we didn't build on it, right?

00:05:42.599 --> 00:05:43.139
 You see that?

00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:47.899
 That's the challenge spiritually in these verses.

00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:50.399
 Don't stop growing.

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.699
 Or if you prefer, grow up.

00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.539
 No one wants to be called a baby, right?

00:05:56.539 --> 00:05:56.659
 Right?

00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:57.280
 The immaturity.

00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:58.280
 The immaturity.

00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:08.280
 The lack of growth is coming here from a spiritual dullness.

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.279
 A laziness.

00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.899
 A laziness in this case of the ears, he says.

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.959
 You're not listening to God's word.

00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:20.919
 To the truth about Jesus.

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.979
 That verse 13 says is a word of righteousness.

00:06:25.979 --> 00:06:31.339
 To help you know how to live all of life with Jesus.

00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:36.619
 Many in this church, it seems, they're settling for just a little bit of Jesus.

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.679
 Not making a priority of their faith every moment of every day.

00:06:41.799 --> 00:06:46.159
 But, you know, stopping in for Jesus on an occasional Sunday.

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.740
 More than a couple of times, I've had a version of this conversation.

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:56.220
 Pastor, I gotta be honest with you, man.

00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:58.080
 I really like you.

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:01.820
 But I really struggle with coming to church.

00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:04.560
 I've been around a while.

00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.320
 I basically know what I need to know, man.

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.340
 I'm going to heaven.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.540
 And I know enough to know that there's nothing else I can do to earn anything else.

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:16.620
 So, it's just not all that exciting.

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:17.480
 Right?

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.100
 I mean, I see a few people there, but I could see them somewhere else.

00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:22.120
 They're good friends.

00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:25.040
 I just have a hard time wanting to be there.

00:07:27.580 --> 00:07:28.800
 Have you thought that before?

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.820
 Maybe around minute 34, 35 of the sermon.

00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.320
 Have you felt bored reading the Bible?

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:49.599
 Has your heart quit responding for a season to the worship of God's people when you gather?

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.980
 And you're there, but there's just nothing?

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.139
 That's a dullness of hearing.

00:07:58.139 --> 00:08:09.599
 That you hear blessed assurance and you think, blessed assurance, I guess.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:18.300
 A dullness of hearing that has settled for spiritual immaturity.

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:22.759
 I've got more for you, God says.

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:31.319
 Moving beyond the ABCs to building something beautiful in your spiritual growth, your maturity.

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:32.779
 Now, don't read this wrong.

00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:35.639
 He's not against foundational things.

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.799
 The things listed here in verses 1 and 2 of chapter 6.

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.259
 He just wants them built on beautifully.

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:54.919
 Now, there's debate here about whether this list of things, this repentance, faith, washings, laying on of hands, resurrection, and judgment.

00:08:55.779 --> 00:09:03.139
 Whether those are Jewish teachings that are in that sense the beginning of the word of Christ.

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:05.659
 That's literally what it means there in verse 1.

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:07.799
 The beginning of the word of Christ.

00:09:08.219 --> 00:09:10.719
 In the sense of there being the shadow.

00:09:11.459 --> 00:09:15.240
 The background that Jesus fulfills the reality of.

00:09:15.339 --> 00:09:16.379
 That's one possibility.

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:22.279
 Or whether these are six foundational aspects of early Christian training.

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:23.980
 Perhaps for those about to be baptized.

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:31.179
 I think that there is a really good case in this context for the former.

00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:38.559
 For these being aspects of the old covenant that Jesus is fulfilling now in a fresh way.

00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:42.519
 But regardless of which one of those is correct.

00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:44.779
 These are good things.

00:09:45.319 --> 00:09:52.239
 Good things that must not be stopped at some just basic intellectual understanding of them.

00:09:52.939 --> 00:09:58.379
 But applied to life in light of the greatness of Jesus.

00:09:59.039 --> 00:09:59.240
 Right?

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.000
 It touches everything.

00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:09.360
 So when you read this, don't hear him saying you have to be a graduate level Christian in order for God to love you.

00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:10.980
 That's not what it means.

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:14.299
 He's not saying, well, Jesus is nice.

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.779
 I mean, faith alone in Christ alone.

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:17.480
 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:20.220
 But then you need to get to the real meat of Christianity.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:21.299
 No.

00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:23.340
 No way is that what he's saying.

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:29.160
 It's more like what Scotty reminded us last week when he was here with us.

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:32.480
 There's nothing more than Jesus.

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:36.100
 But there's always more of Jesus.

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.899
 That's what he's saying.

00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:40.280
 Pastor Andrew Murray says it this way.

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:54.679
 That's what 514 means.

00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.179
 This is not demanding that we know more truth to impress Jesus.

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.059
 But rather that we apply more truth to enjoy Jesus.

00:11:05.219 --> 00:11:06.759
 To share Jesus.

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.519
 Take the ABCs and the do-re-mis of Jesus.

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.460
 His incarnation.

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:13.779
 His life.

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:14.579
 His death.

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.679
 His resurrection.

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:16.980
 His ascension.

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.199
 His return.

00:11:18.579 --> 00:11:19.840
 Cling to those things.

00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:26.679
 Cling to a relationship with him by faith that forgives your sins and grants you eternal salvation.

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:32.720
 And clinging to those things, use them to build something in every area of life.

00:11:32.819 --> 00:11:34.220
 In every moment of your day.

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.579
 That's maturity, he says.

00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:40.539
 Always more of Jesus.

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.240
 Like receiving his peace in your anxiety.

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.019
 Stewarding his gifts for his kingdom.

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:58.639
 Finding his comforting presence in the valley of the shadow of death.

00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:03.259
 Reflecting his image in your workplace.

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.139
 Sharing his hope with your neighbor.

00:12:06.319 --> 00:12:09.699
 Following his will for all of your life decisions.

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:18.660
 I mean, has anyone in here exhausted the areas and places and relationships where God has called you to a Christ-centered walk with him?

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:21.440
 Anybody just taking care of all of those?

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.400
 No way.

00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.580
 Endless opportunities.

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:29.540
 But just think of how much we would be missing.

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:42.620
 If Christians didn't learn to apply, for example, the image of God in every man and woman to abolish the African slave trade.

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:53.060
 To apply the priesthood of Jesus to prayer in the very presence of God in the midst of my pain.

00:12:53.059 --> 00:13:01.559
 To apply love for neighbor to hospitals or aid for refugees or orphanages.

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:06.859
 It would be like missing out on the Eiffel Tower or Edelweiss.

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:07.399
 Right?

00:13:08.979 --> 00:13:12.659
 Don't stop growing in Jesus.

00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.539
 That is the challenge for every one of us here.

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:19.620
 So how do I respond to that challenge?

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:26.719
 How do I not just brush this off like, hey, I'm already a teacher, so he's not talking to me.

00:13:26.939 --> 00:13:27.559
 Yes, he is.

00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:32.399
 How do I receive this word that is for all God's people?

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.539
 Let me urge you, no matter how long you've been learning or how much you've grown,

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:43.339
 there's always more of Jesus, amen?

00:13:44.339 --> 00:13:44.959
 Always.

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.000
 Trust me.

00:13:48.099 --> 00:13:53.099
 Don't move past him, but go deeper into Jesus.

00:13:53.439 --> 00:14:00.360
 That's maturity that begins to grasp the ocean-sized greatness of Jesus.

00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.539
 You're never going to plum it all, are you?

00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.059
 Ask him to show you a part of your life that you've kept him out of.

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:11.859
 Your work, your marriage, your money.

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:13.839
 You're not praying.

00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:15.259
 You're not evangelizing.

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.279
 You're not discipling someone else.

00:14:17.939 --> 00:14:19.199
 What is it for you?

00:14:19.299 --> 00:14:23.179
 I don't know, but no matter how many times you've read through the Bible, read it again.

00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:25.439
 You'll learn something new.

00:14:25.579 --> 00:14:26.559
 I always do.

00:14:26.619 --> 00:14:31.059
 Every time I open God's word, it's one of the reasons it's such a gift to me to get to preach it.

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:33.219
 What a privilege.

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:41.019
 Maybe one last thought on how to listen and receive this challenge.

00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:53.960
 If you're concerned that your ears are growing dull, sluggish, if you sense that, you're just not motivated or excited about the things of God,

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:58.180
 don't keep that to yourself in shame.

00:14:59.259 --> 00:15:00.879
 We can do that in the church.

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.680
 Feel like, well, I just must be the only one.

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:05.379
 Now listen to what God wants for you.

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.100
 God wants to grow you to maturity.

00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:11.879
 Ask someone to join you in praying for that renewal.

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.100
 You're asking for something he delights to give.

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:19.540
 Maybe ask that person to open God's word together so you can borrow one another's zeal.

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:22.620
 He does that to encourage our hearts.

00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:33.860
 Southwood, we long and we pray to be a church that loves the word of Jesus and lives life with Jesus.

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:35.779
 We long for that.

00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:39.379
 Don't stop growing ever.

00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:49.019
 See, there's a specific danger in becoming spiritually stagnant.

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:56.000
 Why is it so important to keep growing in grace?

00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.700
 More of Jesus.

00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.100
 Living with him in every area of life.

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:09.700
 Here, the writer says it's because if you don't stand firm, you might stand away.

00:16:10.540 --> 00:16:14.960
 That's literally what the word in verse 6 we think of as apostasy.

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:16.980
 That's what it means.

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:21.440
 You might actually stop believing.

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:29.560
 This is one of the most severe and most debated warnings in the whole Bible.

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.900
 Let's listen to it and then we'll look at it carefully.

00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:35.400
 It's verse 4.

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.280
 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened,

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:46.360
 who have tasted the heavenly gift and have shared in the Holy Spirit

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:50.400
 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.120
 and then have fallen away.

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.759
 I'm going to read it off of this.

00:17:01.539 --> 00:17:04.519
 To restore them again to repentance.

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.519
 Since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm

00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.980
 and holding him up to contempt.

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:18.819
 For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it

00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:22.620
 and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated

00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:24.860
 receives a blessing from God.

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.180
 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:32.960
 and its end is to be burned.

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:36.000
 If you were reading out of the Pew Bible and it seemed a little bit different,

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:37.559
 which is why I got lost,

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.200
 the translation has been slightly updated.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.960
 This is an updated version.

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.919
 It says the same thing.

00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:46.539
 It just moves some of the words around, okay?

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.220
 Don't get lost.

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:51.940
 Because those are hard words, aren't they?

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.599
 What do they mean?

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:57.539
 There's a lot of stuff in their language.

00:17:57.679 --> 00:17:59.579
 We don't talk like this very often.

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:04.299
 What he's clearly talking about is people who appear to be saved.

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:08.439
 People who live among God's people,

00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:10.879
 who sit in churches like this,

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.159
 hearing sermons like this one to the Hebrews,

00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:20.679
 and yet fall away from Jesus.

00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:25.500
 If you want more details on some of those phrases and descriptions,

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.359
 email me.

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.659
 I'll send you something I got.

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:30.840
 But just briefly,

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.240
 it says they've been enlightened.

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:35.759
 They've been taught the truth about God

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.960
 and not just heard it, but liked it.

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.140
 They've tasted the heavenly gift,

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.900
 actually experienced the blessings of God.

00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:50.820
 They've shared in the Holy Spirit personally

00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:54.120
 or by participation in the covenant community.

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.860
 They see the Spirit at work.

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:59.339
 They tasted the goodness of the Word of God

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:01.299
 and the powers of the age to come.

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:01.959
 In other words,

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:03.919
 they've learned from the Bible extensively.

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.459
 They've even witnessed,

00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:06.919
 perhaps in some cases,

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:08.519
 performed miracles.

00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:12.579
 From everything that anyone can tell,

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.539
 these people look like Christians.

00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:18.579
 Any one of us would be very grateful

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:21.159
 to be described in such a way.

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.859
 But then,

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.500
 in the same description,

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.639
 it says these same people have also fallen away.

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.539
 Deliberately,

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.759
 completely,

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:36.099
 and finally

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:38.379
 rejected God.

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:39.660
 in fact,

00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:42.660
 to the point of crucifying Jesus again,

00:19:43.540 --> 00:19:44.320
 as it were,

00:19:44.580 --> 00:19:47.760
 being like the Jewish or pagan unbelief

00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:50.980
 that sent Jesus to his actual death

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:53.220
 by the public rejection

00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:54.720
 and contempt

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.860
 that they place on this so-called

00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:58.960
 crucified Messiah

00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:01.320
 that they no longer believe in.

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:06.240
 This is not a one-time struggle with sin,

00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:08.899
 a wrestling with doubt,

00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.539
 but a determined rejection of salvation.

00:20:15.439 --> 00:20:16.939
 Such a person,

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:18.700
 it says,

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.579
 it is impossible,

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.879
 jump down,

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:25.139
 to restore to repentance.

00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.200
 So firm

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.920
 is their rejection of Jesus,

00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:31.740
 it's impossible to restore

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.940
 to repentance.

00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:34.080
 In fact,

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:36.200
 as the image he then gives points out,

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:38.280
 they may have received a lot of good rain.

00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.700
 It looked like good stuff was coming in,

00:20:40.780 --> 00:20:43.080
 but they produced thorns and thistles,

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:45.380
 perhaps hear Jesus' parable of the sower.

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:48.820
 And they end with being cursed

00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:50.080
 or burned.

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.120
 Wow.

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.100
 Are there any people like that in the Bible?

00:20:59.540 --> 00:21:00.820
 Anything we could think of

00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:02.300
 that would help us understand

00:21:02.300 --> 00:21:03.900
 what could be going on here?

00:21:05.040 --> 00:21:06.000
 Well, the author of Hebrews

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.660
 has already pointed us to

00:21:07.660 --> 00:21:09.460
 the cautionary example

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:12.000
 of Old Testament Israel

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.460
 who learned about God

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:15.920
 from a great teacher,

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.160
 Moses, right?

00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:20.860
 Who experienced his powerful spirit,

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:22.100
 his miraculous work

00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:23.140
 all the way up to and through

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:24.520
 the Red Sea itself.

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.139
 Amazing.

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:27.779
 Who tasted his daily blessing

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:29.759
 and manna and water.

00:21:29.879 --> 00:21:30.700
 They were a part

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:32.319
 of his special people.

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.319
 And yet,

00:21:35.139 --> 00:21:36.420
 how many

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:38.639
 did not reach

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:40.039
 the promised land?

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:42.559
 Paul tells us

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.519
 the example of these idolaters

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.519
 is for us.

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.779
 So that anyone

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:50.339
 who thinks he stands

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:51.460
 should take care

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:52.519
 lest he fall.

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.940
 Don't think you're above this.

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.099
 Paul warns.

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.759
 These were wonderful people.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.900
 Special people.

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:00.359
 Watch out.

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:03.259
 You might think of others

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:04.740
 like Judas.

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:09.119
 His teacher pretty decent.

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.779
 Pretty good miracles he saw.

00:22:13.379 --> 00:22:14.319
 I'd say so.

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.539
 Simon Magus

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:18.299
 who did powerful things

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.460
 in the name of Jesus

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:19.839
 but

00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:21.899
 perhaps for the sake

00:22:21.899 --> 00:22:22.740
 of his own name.

00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:25.859
 I think of the scribe

00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:28.339
 talking to Jesus.

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:29.439
 He heard from him

00:22:29.439 --> 00:22:31.159
 the sobering words

00:22:31.159 --> 00:22:31.779
 that I pray

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:32.539
 bore fruit

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.879
 in his heart later.

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.659
 You are not far

00:22:35.659 --> 00:22:37.939
 from the kingdom of God.

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.960
 He knew so much.

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:41.599
 He got so much right.

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.579
 Seemed like everything.

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:44.059
 But did he actually

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:45.439
 place his faith

00:22:45.439 --> 00:22:46.079
 in the Jesus

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.699
 that he learned

00:22:46.699 --> 00:22:47.500
 so much about

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:49.259
 and valued so highly?

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:53.779
 See being baptized

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:55.199
 is not magical.

00:22:57.659 --> 00:22:58.980
 Giving 10%

00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:00.319
 is not enough.

00:23:01.639 --> 00:23:03.059
 Neither is 100%

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.759
 for that matter.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.779
 You can't buy it.

00:23:07.059 --> 00:23:08.579
 Assuming you're a Christian

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.919
 because you're southern

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:11.880
 or white

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:13.700
 or American

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:16.140
 is deceptive heresy

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:19.140
 that can't bring you to God

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:21.000
 but it can keep you from God.

00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:27.460
 Warning in my words.

00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:31.400
 Knowing a lot about Jesus

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.000
 is not the same

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.400
 as knowing Jesus.

00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:38.640
 Teachers,

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.480
 Presbyterians,

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:43.380
 beware.

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.579
 Knowing a lot about Jesus

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:47.140
 is not the same

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:49.079
 as knowing Jesus.

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.180
 Kids,

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.200
 you know we love you.

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.940
 But being born

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:58.460
 in Southwood Church

00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:00.880
 is not the same

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.880
 as being reborn

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.380
 into life

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:05.720
 with Jesus.

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.480
 In fact,

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:09.279
 rejecting the blessings

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.079
 of the covenant family

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:11.680
 of God

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:12.600
 is dangerous.

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.539
 In other words,

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.900
 understanding the truth

00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:18.400
 of your need,

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:20.799
 seeing the solution,

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:22.840
 the provision of grace

00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:24.340
 at the cross of Jesus

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:26.419
 only to turn away

00:24:26.419 --> 00:24:27.299
 in pride

00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:28.579
 from such a salvation

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:31.740
 is a sobering choice.

00:24:32.679 --> 00:24:33.439
 Dear ones,

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.579
 young and old,

00:24:35.139 --> 00:24:36.459
 don't make that choice.

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:39.299
 Please don't live

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:40.519
 not far

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:41.740
 from this pulpit

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:43.139
 and not far

00:24:43.139 --> 00:24:44.779
 from the kingdom of God.

00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:45.679
 No,

00:24:45.959 --> 00:24:46.699
 no one.

00:24:49.199 --> 00:24:49.919
 So how do you hear

00:24:49.919 --> 00:24:50.539
 this warning

00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:52.039
 and not say

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.099
 what many of our hearts

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.879
 naturally do,

00:24:53.980 --> 00:24:54.219
 which is,

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:54.599
 oh,

00:24:54.619 --> 00:24:55.459
 that's not for me.

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:57.439
 It's not talking to me.

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:00.980
 Well,

00:25:01.019 --> 00:25:01.939
 if you're hearing it,

00:25:02.679 --> 00:25:04.099
 don't fall away

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:06.719
 means that you haven't yet.

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:07.980
 Right?

00:25:08.639 --> 00:25:09.839
 It's a good place to start.

00:25:10.199 --> 00:25:10.980
 A great place

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.859
 for us to start

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:12.480
 would then be

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:13.799
 taking all of the warnings

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.359
 of Hebrews seriously

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:17.980
 with the directives.

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:20.319
 What does he tell us to do?

00:25:20.639 --> 00:25:21.679
 What he keeps warning us?

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.799
 Hold fast to Jesus.

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:26.320
 Fix your eyes on Jesus.

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:28.380
 Pay much closer attention

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:29.560
 to the Bible's message

00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:30.560
 about Jesus.

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.960
 Draw near to God

00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:33.740
 afresh through Jesus.

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:35.480
 Find rest for your soul

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:36.539
 in Jesus.

00:25:37.060 --> 00:25:38.519
 Grow up bearing fruit

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:39.480
 in Jesus.

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.460
 That's what we mean

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:42.779
 by talking about

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:44.320
 faith priority

00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:45.740
 around here so much.

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.840
 You probably heard

00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:48.320
 those words this year.

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.079
 what we're talking about

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.379
 is to take ownership

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:52.839
 of your relationship

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.500
 with God.

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:54.879
 The relationship you have

00:25:54.879 --> 00:25:56.799
 through faith in Jesus.

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:59.000
 Making a priority

00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.319
 of learning what that means

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:01.460
 for every moment

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.399
 of your life.

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.599
 Not just for one day,

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.579
 someday in heaven,

00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:06.259
 but a priority now.

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:09.359
 At the same time,

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:11.039
 don't assume that you're

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:12.519
 above falling away

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.799
 because you've been around

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:14.519
 long enough

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.960
 or you've done enough.

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:18.599
 Don't assume that

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.160
 about someone

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:20.640
 who used to sit next to you

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.099
 regularly

00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:22.759
 and now you don't see them

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.720
 and they can never make

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:24.680
 grace group.

00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:27.140
 Love them enough

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:28.140
 to reach out

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:29.480
 and check in.

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:31.960
 Would you pray?

00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.259
 Pray for God's

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:35.700
 preserving grace

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.759
 for yourself

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:38.119
 and for your whole

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:39.339
 church family.

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.619
 Reminding one another

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:41.400
 of the greatness

00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:42.720
 of your need for Jesus

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.619
 and the greatness

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:44.599
 of Jesus.

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:46.019
 Those are ways

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:47.099
 to heed this warning.

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.279
 Before we move on,

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:56.059
 I want to assure you

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:58.220
 that it is God's grace

00:26:58.220 --> 00:27:00.059
 that you can trust

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:01.960
 to secure for all time

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.259
 your relationship

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.960
 with Him.

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:05.940
 This passage

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.980
 was written

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:08.140
 pastorally

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:10.180
 to direct our hearts,

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.220
 I believe,

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:12.319
 to challenge us

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:13.480
 to a heart check.

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:14.900
 Okay?

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:16.920
 That's the motivation

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.039
 behind these words.

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:20.119
 But many of you know

00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.700
 the big theological debate

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:23.119
 centers around

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:24.180
 whether or not

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:24.759
 it teaches

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.920
 that someone

00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:27.279
 truly saved

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:29.480
 can actually lose

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:30.799
 his salvation.

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:30.919
 salvation.

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.159
 I'm convinced

00:27:34.159 --> 00:27:35.419
 that it does not

00:27:35.419 --> 00:27:36.419
 teach that.

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:38.139
 Happy to send you

00:27:38.139 --> 00:27:38.799
 more on that.

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:40.339
 I'm convinced

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:40.759
 of that

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.960
 both from this passage

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.740
 itself

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:44.539
 and from many others

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.139
 in the Bible.

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:46.559
 Once saved,

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.240
 always saved

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:50.079
 or the perseverance

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.139
 or the preservation

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:52.659
 of the saints

00:27:52.659 --> 00:27:53.799
 is true.

00:27:54.139 --> 00:27:54.899
 It's biblical.

00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:56.759
 You can count on it.

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.920
 But I didn't want

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.799
 to let our hearts

00:27:58.799 --> 00:27:59.920
 off the hook

00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:01.079
 so simply

00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:02.240
 with a theological

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.180
 reassurance

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:04.119
 from our systematic

00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:04.980
 theologies.

00:28:05.879 --> 00:28:07.059
 Hebrews wants us

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.879
 to go somewhere else

00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:08.599
 for that assurance.

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:09.539
 Have you figured out where?

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.900
 Hebrews wants us

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.859
 to run to Jesus

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:13.700
 for that assurance.

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:16.319
 not some system

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:16.960
 of theology

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:18.120
 that you've heard taught.

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:19.880
 The people

00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:21.120
 described here

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:22.600
 are best understood

00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:23.600
 as those who

00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:24.259
 very much

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.819
 appear saved

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:27.519
 but when they

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.039
 go out

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.819
 from us

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.860
 they reveal

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.660
 that they were not

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:31.420
 actually

00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:32.340
 of us.

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.080
 Those are the words

00:28:33.080 --> 00:28:34.340
 of 1 John.

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.660
 But y'all

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.140
 that's not

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:39.279
 a reason

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:39.799
 just to take

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.340
 a deep breath

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:40.960
 and disregard.

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:42.299
 That's sobering.

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:44.359
 All of us

00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.059
 should be

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.839
 sobered.

00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:48.240
 But neither

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.740
 the author

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.440
 of Hebrews

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.240
 nor God

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.899
 himself

00:28:50.899 --> 00:28:52.180
 wants you

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:53.019
 to be sobered

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:54.019
 into fearful

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.759
 despair.

00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:57.159
 So I want to

00:28:57.159 --> 00:28:57.500
 make sure

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:58.039
 to talk about

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.659
 this for just

00:28:58.659 --> 00:28:59.079
 a second.

00:28:59.659 --> 00:29:00.319
 I had this

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:00.720
 experience

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.299
 as a young

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:01.619
 boy.

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:03.000
 I remember

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:03.980
 reading passages

00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:04.819
 like this one

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:05.419
 and another one

00:29:05.419 --> 00:29:05.839
 I believe

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.519
 is connected

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:07.079
 to it

00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.220
 about the

00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:09.039
 unforgivable

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.559
 sin.

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:11.079
 I don't remember

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:12.019
 exactly how old

00:29:12.019 --> 00:29:12.299
 I was.

00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:12.619
 I remember

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:13.240
 exactly how

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.220
 scared I was

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.420
 by that.

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:16.940
 To the point

00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:17.559
 that one night

00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:17.839
 I couldn't

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.480
 go to sleep.

00:29:19.379 --> 00:29:19.779
 I remember

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:21.240
 going and

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.299
 calling my dad

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:22.879
 to come back

00:29:22.879 --> 00:29:23.339
 and saying

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:23.920
 dad I'm

00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.700
 just so afraid

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:27.200
 that I've

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.680
 committed

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:29.099
 that unforgivable

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:29.680
 sin.

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.839
 I loved

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.299
 Jesus

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:34.000
 but what

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.420
 if I had

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:34.900
 done that

00:29:34.900 --> 00:29:35.259
 and didn't

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:35.720
 know?

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.660
 He very

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.240
 helpfully

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:40.079
 told me

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.399
 that the

00:29:40.399 --> 00:29:40.919
 fact

00:29:40.919 --> 00:29:41.579
 that I

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:41.759
 was

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.279
 concerned

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:42.659
 about

00:29:42.659 --> 00:29:43.000
 that

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:44.779
 that I

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:45.000
 didn't

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.399
 want

00:29:45.399 --> 00:29:46.059
 to do

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.220
 it

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:46.679
 that I

00:29:46.679 --> 00:29:47.359
 loved

00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:47.919
 Jesus

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.419
 and his

00:29:48.419 --> 00:29:48.939
 grace

00:29:48.939 --> 00:29:49.339
 and his

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:49.819
 forgiveness

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.740
 that those

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.419
 were really

00:29:51.419 --> 00:29:51.939
 good

00:29:51.939 --> 00:29:52.799
 indications

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.359
 that I

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.960
 had not

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.000
 fallen away

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.519
 to where

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:55.740
 it would

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.359
 be impossible

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:56.879
 to be

00:29:56.879 --> 00:29:57.399
 forgiven

00:29:57.399 --> 00:29:57.819
 to be

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.419
 restored

00:29:58.419 --> 00:29:59.579
 to repentance.

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.539
 Don't

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.399
 let this

00:30:01.399 --> 00:30:01.859
 drive your

00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:02.179
 heart to

00:30:02.179 --> 00:30:02.839
 that kind

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.720
 of despair.

00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:04.619
 Don't

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.199
 ignore

00:30:05.199 --> 00:30:06.259
 the concern

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.599
 in your

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:06.879
 heart

00:30:06.879 --> 00:30:07.379
 that you

00:30:07.379 --> 00:30:07.859
 might feel

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.339
 this morning

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:09.259
 but let

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:09.559
 any

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.179
 concern

00:30:10.179 --> 00:30:10.839
 that you

00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.500
 feel about

00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:12.779
 apostasy

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:14.259
 drive you

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:15.839
 not to

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:16.500
 despair away

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:17.019
 from Jesus

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:18.459
 but drive

00:30:18.459 --> 00:30:18.839
 you where?

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:19.699
 Drive you

00:30:19.699 --> 00:30:20.579
 to Jesus.

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:21.959
 That's the

00:30:21.959 --> 00:30:22.979
 one that you're

00:30:22.979 --> 00:30:23.859
 worried even

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:24.339
 this morning

00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:24.899
 you might be

00:30:24.899 --> 00:30:25.500
 falling away

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:25.719
 from.

00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:26.439
 Don't

00:30:26.439 --> 00:30:26.839
 let that

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.979
 fear drive

00:30:27.979 --> 00:30:28.579
 you to

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:28.919
 Jesus

00:30:28.919 --> 00:30:29.479
 himself.

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:30.259
 He promises

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:31.159
 to save

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:31.619
 you and

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.139
 keep you

00:30:32.139 --> 00:30:32.879
 so that no

00:30:32.879 --> 00:30:33.539
 one can

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.019
 snatch you

00:30:34.019 --> 00:30:34.240
 out of

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.639
 his hand

00:30:34.639 --> 00:30:35.240
 not even

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.479
 you.

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:36.640
 So that

00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:37.039
 nothing

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.980
 can separate

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.720
 you from

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.240
 his love

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:39.940
 not even

00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:40.480
 your sin.

00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:42.200
 That's

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:43.059
 the Savior

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:43.660
 you have.

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:44.539
 Run to

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:44.740
 him.

00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:46.039
 That's where

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:46.640
 Hebrews ends

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:47.279
 this section

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.539
 with comfort.

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:50.160
 There's a

00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.400
 little bit

00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:51.660
 now and

00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:51.960
 there's a

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:53.220
 whole boatload

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:53.799
 of it next

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:55.500
 week before

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:56.140
 he turns back

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.880
 to Melchizedek

00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:57.500
 and Jesus.

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.140
 Listen to

00:30:59.140 --> 00:30:59.360
 what he's

00:30:59.360 --> 00:30:59.860
 going to

00:30:59.860 --> 00:31:00.759
 say especially

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.839
 if you're

00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:02.420
 discouraged

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:03.019
 right now.

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:03.660
 Don't

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.259
 stop listening

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:04.839
 to God's

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.059
 word.

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.759
 He's not

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:06.679
 finished yet

00:31:06.679 --> 00:31:07.279
 with this

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.500
 communication

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:09.000
 that he's

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.500
 giving them.

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:10.960
 He's going

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.500
 to say

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.519
 don't

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.339
 stop

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:14.179
 hoping.

00:31:15.639 --> 00:31:16.000
 Don't

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.220
 stop

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.559
 growing.

00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:17.639
 Don't

00:31:17.639 --> 00:31:17.859
 stop

00:31:17.859 --> 00:31:18.279
 believing.

00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:19.039
 Don't

00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:19.519
 stop

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.980
 hoping.

00:31:21.159 --> 00:31:21.399
 Verse

00:31:21.399 --> 00:31:21.879
 nine.

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:23.579
 Though

00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:24.240
 we speak

00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:24.720
 in this

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.059
 way

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:26.799
 difficult

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.859
 hard

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:28.759
 things

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.980
 yet in

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.759
 your case

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:31.460
 beloved

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:33.039
 we feel

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:33.919
 sure of

00:31:33.919 --> 00:31:34.220
 better

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.880
 things.

00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:35.559
 Things

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:36.680
 that belong

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:37.819
 to salvation.

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:39.259
 For God

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.640
 is not

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:40.220
 unjust

00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:41.100
 so as to

00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:41.460
 overlook

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:42.100
 your work

00:31:42.100 --> 00:31:42.440
 and the

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:43.079
 love that

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.380
 you have

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:43.980
 shown for

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.579
 his name

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:45.140
 and serving

00:31:45.140 --> 00:31:45.799
 the saints

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.180
 as you

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:46.819
 still do.

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.900
 And we

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.539
 desire each

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:49.160
 one of you

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.700
 to show

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.180
 the same

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:50.880
 earnestness

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:51.220
 to have

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:51.680
 the full

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:52.259
 assurance

00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:52.740
 of hope

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.240
 until the

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.700
 end

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:55.000
 so that

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.240
 you may

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:55.640
 not be

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.160
 sluggish

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:57.460
 but imitators

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:58.079
 of those

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.660
 who through

00:31:58.660 --> 00:31:59.539
 faith and

00:31:59.539 --> 00:32:00.079
 patience

00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:00.839
 inherit

00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:02.259
 the promises.

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:04.000
 The warning

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.279
 is really

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:04.619
 clear

00:32:04.619 --> 00:32:06.259
 but to

00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:06.500
 everyone

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.879
 who hears

00:32:06.879 --> 00:32:07.099
 this

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:07.359
 warning

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:08.639
 he also

00:32:08.639 --> 00:32:09.220
 writes

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:10.179
 that his

00:32:10.179 --> 00:32:10.919
 confidence

00:32:10.919 --> 00:32:11.799
 with them

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.379
 is of

00:32:12.379 --> 00:32:12.799
 things

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.539
 that belong

00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:14.179
 to

00:32:14.179 --> 00:32:15.339
 salvation.

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:16.939
 In fact

00:32:16.939 --> 00:32:17.740
 believer in

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:17.980
 Jesus

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:18.459
 he wants

00:32:18.459 --> 00:32:18.759
 you to

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.220
 have the

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.959
 full

00:32:19.959 --> 00:32:21.220
 assurance

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:22.659
 of hope.

00:32:23.699 --> 00:32:24.299
 Don't

00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:24.980
 stop

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:26.059
 hoping.

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:26.839
 Remember

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:27.339
 last week

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:28.000
 Scotty said

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.559
 hope is

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:28.960
 not

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.660
 here

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:30.259
 a

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:30.940
 wishful

00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:31.619
 feeling

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:32.279
 pie

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.480
 in

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:32.700
 the

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:33.339
 sky

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:34.299
 but

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:34.839
 a

00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:35.299
 certain

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:36.319
 reality

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:37.099
 grace

00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:37.759
 on the

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:38.220
 ground.

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.079
 Hope

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.299
 is

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.720
 something

00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:40.420
 firm

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:41.099
 that you

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:41.299
 can

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:41.619
 hold

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:41.940
 on

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:42.279
 to

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:42.779
 and

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:42.900
 that

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:43.000
 you

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.140
 can

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:43.440
 count

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:43.619
 on

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:43.720
 to

00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:43.920
 hold

00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:44.079

00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:44.220
 to

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.539
 you.

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:46.960
 Notice

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.500
 the source

00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:47.819

 In

 promises

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.099
 and

 look

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:07.339
 again

00:33:07.339 --> 00:33:07.639
 God

00:33:07.639 --> 00:33:07.799
 is

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.659
 the

00:33:08.659 --> 00:33:08.839
 one

00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:09.240
 producing

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.799
 fruit

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:09.980
 in

 your

00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:10.460
 lives

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:10.819
 together

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:11.319

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:11.519
 his

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.919
 people.

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:12.379
 You're

00:33:12.379 --> 00:33:12.659
 loving

00:33:12.659 --> 00:33:12.899
 one

00:33:12.899 --> 00:33:13.159
 another.

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:13.619
 You're

00:33:13.619 --> 00:33:13.960
 trusting

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.319
 God

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:14.460
 in

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:14.819
 hard

00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:15.419
 seasons.

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:15.720
 You're

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:16.099
 enduring

00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:16.379
 with

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.939
 patience

00:33:16.939 --> 00:33:17.339
 when

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.480
 the

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:17.759
 world

00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.240
 says

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.619
 you're

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:18.859
 missing

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:19.240
 out

00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:19.399
 and

00:33:19.399 --> 00:33:19.619
 God

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:19.939
 can't

00:33:19.939 --> 00:33:20.099
 be

00:33:20.099 --> 00:33:20.419
 counted

00:33:20.419 --> 00:33:20.919
 on.

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:23.159
 You're

00:33:23.159 --> 00:33:23.379
 doing

00:33:23.379 --> 00:33:23.659
 those

00:33:23.659 --> 00:33:23.899
 things.

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.119
 He's

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:24.500
 encouraging

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:24.679
 you

00:33:24.679 --> 00:33:24.960
 keep

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.079
 it

00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:25.279
 up.

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:25.919
 Grow

00:33:25.919 --> 00:33:26.460
 in

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:26.960
 grace.

00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:27.319
 To

00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:27.980
 maturity.

00:33:28.339 --> 00:33:28.539
 Not

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.559
 sluggishly

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:30.039
 avoiding

00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:30.559
 God's

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:30.799
 word

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.000
 but

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.819
 eagerly

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:32.859
 earnestly

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:33.639
 shaping

00:33:33.639 --> 00:33:33.939
 your

00:33:33.939 --> 00:33:34.379
 life

00:33:34.379 --> 00:33:35.019
 around

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:35.619
 it.

00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:36.359
 So

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:36.480
 that

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:36.619
 when

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:36.839
 you

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:37.099
 see

00:33:37.099 --> 00:33:37.359
 a

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:37.980
 self

00:33:37.980 --> 00:33:38.339
 driven

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:38.899
 person

00:33:38.899 --> 00:33:39.399
 submit

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:39.679
 to

00:33:39.679 --> 00:33:40.039
 God's

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.359
 word

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:41.480
 when

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:41.619
 you

00:33:41.619 --> 00:33:41.799
 see

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:42.220
 a

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.779
 selfish

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:43.399
 person

00:33:43.399 --> 00:33:43.960
 love

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:44.139
 his

00:33:44.139 --> 00:33:44.460
 neighbor

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:44.699
 and

00:33:44.699 --> 00:33:45.220
 sacrifice

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:46.980
 when

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.099
 you

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.259
 see

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:47.460
 a

00:33:47.460 --> 00:33:47.740
 self

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:48.099
 centered

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:48.579
 person

00:33:48.579 --> 00:33:49.159
 show

00:33:49.159 --> 00:33:49.359
 up

00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:49.500
 at

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:49.740
 a

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.199
 church

00:33:50.199 --> 00:33:50.419
 to

00:33:50.419 --> 00:33:50.679
 listen

00:33:50.679 --> 00:33:50.919
 to

00:33:50.919 --> 00:33:51.099
 a

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:51.519
 pastor

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:51.879
 who's

00:33:51.879 --> 00:33:52.279
 preaching

00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:52.679
 he really

00:33:52.679 --> 00:33:53.019
 doesn't

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.439
 love

00:33:53.439 --> 00:33:54.859
 to

00:33:54.859 --> 00:33:55.079
 grow

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.279
 in

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:55.519
 love

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:55.939
 for a

00:33:55.939 --> 00:33:56.199
 savior

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:56.880
 he wants

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:57.460
 to love

00:33:57.460 --> 00:33:58.059
 and to

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.299
 show

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:58.759
 his love

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:59.220
 to people

00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:00.000
 he doesn't

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.360
 even know

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:00.600
 if he

00:34:00.600 --> 00:34:01.240
 likes.

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:02.720
 When you

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:03.360
 see that

00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:03.980
 you can be

00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:04.440
 certain

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:05.140
 God's at

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:05.380
 work

00:34:05.380 --> 00:34:05.720
 that's

00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:06.180
 what he's

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:06.840
 producing

00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:07.840
 among

00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:08.440
 you.

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.099
 So

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:23.139
 God

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:23.440
 wants you

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:23.699
 to have

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:23.860
 the

00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:24.199
 full

00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:24.779
 assurance

00:34:24.779 --> 00:34:25.420
 of hope

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:25.839
 that

00:34:25.839 --> 00:34:26.480
 blessed

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:27.360
 assurance

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:27.880
 Jesus

00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:28.259
 is

00:34:28.259 --> 00:34:29.199
 mine

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.480
 Christ

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:30.799
 is

00:34:30.799 --> 00:34:31.059
 my

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:31.659
 hope

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:32.139
 in

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.719
 life

00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:33.159
 and

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:33.480
 death

00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:33.559
 I

00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:33.679
 don't

00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:34.239
 have

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:34.739
 any

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:35.059
 other

00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:35.719
 and so

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:35.860
 that

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.360
 as

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:36.579
 that

00:34:36.579 --> 00:34:37.039
 becomes

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.360
 your

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:37.699
 hope

00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:37.980
 even

00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:38.279
 the

00:34:38.279 --> 00:34:39.179
 weakest

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:40.259
 of us

00:34:40.259 --> 00:34:41.340
 indwelt

00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:42.519
 and empowered

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:43.420
 by his

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:43.920
 spirit

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:44.759
 become

00:34:44.759 --> 00:34:45.980
 heroes

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.619
 of the

00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:47.239
 faith

00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.239
 just by

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.599
 clinging

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.500
 to Jesus

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:51.420
 when we

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:51.820
 become

00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:52.539
 Eiffel

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:53.159
 Towers

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:54.159
 displaying

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:55.279
 the wonders

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:55.920
 of his

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.300
 love

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:57.219
 the glories

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.500
 of his

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:57.840
 grace

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.539
 in every

00:34:58.539 --> 00:34:59.099
 moment

00:34:59.099 --> 00:34:59.679
 of your

00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:00.300
 life

00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:01.599
 if that's

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:01.860
 going to

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:02.119
 happen

00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:02.599
 with us

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:04.440
 we'll

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:04.619
 need

00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:04.980
 Jesus

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:06.579
 for that

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:06.819
 won't

00:35:06.819 --> 00:35:07.019
 we

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:08.940
 and that's

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:09.219
 why he's

00:35:09.219 --> 00:35:09.500
 come

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:09.960
 that's

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:10.079
 why

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:10.400
 Jesus

00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:10.920
 is here

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.380
 to eat

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:12.099
 with us

00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:13.360
 to remind

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:13.819
 us

00:35:13.819 --> 00:35:14.480
 that he's

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:15.019
 the one

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.199
 who loves

00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:16.619
 us

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.719
 and gives

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:17.940
 us

00:35:17.940 --> 00:35:18.420
 everything

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:18.860
 that we

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:19.199
 need

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.199
 for life

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:21.480
 and godliness

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.679
 it's why

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:23.980
 he sat

00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:24.299
 with his

00:35:24.299 --> 00:35:24.759
 disciples

00:35:24.759 --> 00:35:26.139
 that night

00:35:26.139 --> 00:35:26.539
 that he was

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:26.940
 betrayed

00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:27.420
 and he took

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:27.819
 bread

00:35:27.819 --> 00:35:30.219
 and he broke

00:35:30.219 --> 00:35:30.480
 it

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:31.679
 and he gave

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.199
 it to them

00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:32.759
 as I

00:35:32.759 --> 00:35:33.619
 ministering

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:33.960
 in his

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:34.259
 name

00:35:34.259 --> 00:35:34.859
 give this

00:35:34.859 --> 00:35:35.299
 bread

00:35:35.299 --> 00:35:35.779
 to you

00:35:35.779 --> 00:35:36.799
 he said

00:35:36.799 --> 00:35:37.519
 take and eat

00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:38.859
 this is my

00:35:38.859 --> 00:35:39.279
 body

00:35:39.279 --> 00:35:40.779
 given for

00:35:40.779 --> 00:35:41.239
 you

00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:42.559
 do this

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:43.059
 in remembrance

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.719
 of me

00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:45.500
 in the same

00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:45.899
 way after

00:35:45.899 --> 00:35:46.259
 supper

00:35:46.259 --> 00:35:46.679
 he took

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.159
 the cup

00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:47.639
 and said

00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:48.599
 this cup

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:49.199
 is the new

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:49.619
 covenant

00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:50.199
 in my

00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:50.559
 blood

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.439
 shed for

00:35:51.439 --> 00:35:51.839
 many

00:35:51.839 --> 00:35:52.419
 for the

00:35:52.419 --> 00:35:52.799
 forgiveness

00:35:52.799 --> 00:35:53.539
 of sins

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:54.359
 drink from

00:35:54.359 --> 00:35:54.799
 it all

00:35:54.799 --> 00:35:55.119
 of you

00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:55.699
 for as

00:35:55.699 --> 00:35:56.279
 often as

00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:56.619
 you eat

00:35:56.619 --> 00:35:57.179
 this bread

00:35:57.179 --> 00:35:57.819
 and drink

00:35:57.819 --> 00:35:58.419
 this cup

00:35:58.419 --> 00:35:59.259
 you proclaim

00:35:59.259 --> 00:36:00.079
 the lord's

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.559
 death

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:02.139
 until he

00:36:02.139 --> 00:36:02.599
 comes

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.920
 I'm aware

00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:07.500
 that it is

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:08.159
 certainly

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.820
 possible

00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:10.460
 that a

00:36:10.460 --> 00:36:11.179
 passage like

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:12.219
 hebrews 6

00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:12.960
 has some

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.500
 of us

00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:14.279
 confused

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:14.960
 this morning

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.239
 about whether

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:16.820
 or not to

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:17.940
 come to

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:18.400
 the lord's

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:18.759
 table

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:20.799
 let me try

00:36:20.799 --> 00:36:21.500
 to simplify

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:21.900
 it

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:23.599
 for those

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:23.900
 of you

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:24.320
 who have

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:24.619
 been

00:36:24.619 --> 00:36:25.340
 baptized

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:26.420
 into

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:26.820
 Jesus

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:27.240
 as

00:36:27.240 --> 00:36:27.820
 members

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.400
 of his

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:28.840
 church

00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:29.460
 this one

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:30.200
 or any

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:30.559
 other

00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:31.500
 if

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:32.260
 that's

00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:32.680
 you

00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.600
 and if

00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:33.900
 in

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:34.519
 considering

00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:35.039
 your

00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.600
 weakness

00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:37.140
 your

00:36:37.140 --> 00:36:38.120
 immaturity

00:36:38.120 --> 00:36:38.760
 your

00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:39.440
 need

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:39.900
 today

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.940
 you look

00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:41.320
 here

00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:41.820
 and you

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.280
 see

00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:43.340
 Jesus

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:44.980
 as the

00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:45.360
 one you

00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:45.680
 need

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:46.519
 as the

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:46.860
 one who

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:47.240
 meets

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:47.559
 those

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:47.940
 needs

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:48.360
 and that's

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.700
 what you

00:36:48.700 --> 00:36:49.079
 see here

00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:49.440
 then you

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:49.980
 come

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:51.059
 you come

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:52.280
 even come

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:53.400
 confessing

00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:54.160
 more sin

00:36:54.160 --> 00:36:55.180
 come

00:36:55.180 --> 00:36:55.880
 seeking

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:57.079
 more grace

00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:57.619
 come

00:36:57.619 --> 00:36:58.320
 praying

00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.099
 for more

00:36:59.099 --> 00:36:59.740
 growth

00:36:59.740 --> 00:37:00.900
 but come

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.440
 to the

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:01.780
 one who

00:37:01.780 --> 00:37:02.139
 gives

00:37:02.139 --> 00:37:02.460
 those

00:37:02.460 --> 00:37:03.099
 things

00:37:03.099 --> 00:37:03.920
 in

00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:04.360
 himself

00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.460
 if

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:08.720
 on the

00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:08.900
 other

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:09.240
 hand

00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:09.480
 you

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:10.360
 maybe

00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:10.619
 you

00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:11.079
 usually

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:11.579
 take

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:12.119
 the

00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:12.460
 lord's

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:12.700
 supper

00:37:12.700 --> 00:37:13.740
 but

00:37:13.740 --> 00:37:14.660
 even

00:37:14.660 --> 00:37:15.059
 as you

00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:15.340
 listen

00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:15.700
 to this

00:37:15.700 --> 00:37:16.119
 passage

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:16.320
 you

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:16.720
 realize

00:37:16.720 --> 00:37:16.940
 that

00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:17.139
 your

00:37:17.139 --> 00:37:17.760
 confidence

00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:18.240
 on the

00:37:18.240 --> 00:37:18.420
 one

00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:18.660
 hand

00:37:18.660 --> 00:37:18.860
 or

00:37:18.860 --> 00:37:19.280
 perhaps

00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:19.559
 your

00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:20.059
 fear

00:37:20.059 --> 00:37:20.860
 on the

00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:21.079
 other

00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:21.360
 hand

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:21.579
 is

00:37:21.579 --> 00:37:21.840
 based

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:22.460
 entirely

00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:22.860
 on

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:23.160
 your

00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:23.980
 performance

00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:25.079
 or

00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:25.359
 your

00:37:25.359 --> 00:37:25.779
 lack

00:37:25.779 --> 00:37:25.980
 of

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:26.739
 performance

00:37:26.739 --> 00:37:28.319
 if

00:37:28.319 --> 00:37:28.779
 that's

00:37:28.779 --> 00:37:28.940
 what

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:29.059
 you

00:37:29.059 --> 00:37:29.279
 look

00:37:29.279 --> 00:37:29.460
 up

00:37:29.460 --> 00:37:29.759
 here

00:37:29.759 --> 00:37:29.940
 and

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.119
 see

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:30.420
 just
