Hebrews 12:12-29
Strong, Right, Bold, Alert
Our Vertical Relationship Equips our Horizontal Relationships
Faith is: Living in the Promises of God
as if they are already received.
Walking in and by Faith in God while persevering in trials, persecutions, difficulties and testings.
Faith is: the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen
Recap: Faith acts out of bold confidence
and is backed up by the power of the unseen.
Faith is God using the ordinary to do the extraordinary.
Faith is needed in all situations.
Faith is fueled by God: By His Word and By His power,
By His promises. .
Today @ Calvary:
Therefore…
Heb. 12:12
So then, wherefore, for this reason
Two directions are expressed, looking backward, because, which equips us to properly, look forward, therefore.
This ‘therefore’ has at least four major facets:
Getting and becoming strong, strengthen thy hands
Right relationships
Walking in confidence
Being watchful and alert
Continually being reminded of God’s awesome power
Be Strengthened
Vs 12-13
Be at peace, live at peace
Vs 14-17
Walking boldly and confidently
Two different foundations
Vs 18-21
Vs 22-24
Heb. 4:16
Be watchful and alert
Vs 25-26
Our stability in an unstable world
The promise received
The principal’s established
The power of heaven given as seen in the exchange life
The provision and protection of the Lord through His Spirit
The Aaron’s and the Hurs of the body of Christ: the congregation
Shaken, not stirred
Vs 27
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)
Let us have Grace
Let us serve with Grace: Acceptably with Reverence.
How? In humility and others-mindedness. (video clip, please)
Vs. 28-29
By being receivers (an old Benny Hester song)
The gift of Grace in us becomes, a tool of Grace out of us.
With reverence
With joyful reverence. The joy of the Lord is…
With a heart, mind and soul of holiness and awe.
Our God is a consuming fire
