Hebrews 12:3-13 Discipline from the Lord is evidence of Gods love towards you and His desire to grow you. So don’t reject it … receive it.
Hebrews 10:32-12:1-2 (CSB) If you want to persevere in your walk with Jesus - you need to have FAITH.
Hebrews 10:26-31 (CSB) The writer of Hebrews takes time to warn us of a road that according to Jesus, many, take. It’s a road that leads to judgement and can be avoided by trusting in Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Heed the warning - see the grace and live in it.
James 5:13-20 (CSB) The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
One Mokgatle Romans 10:1-13 The simplicity of salvation is confess and believe.
Joey Mongalo 2 Corinthians 15:18-21 We are reconciled to be reconcilers.
HEBREWS 10:19-25(CSB) In view of all that Christ has done for us, primarily in the sacrifice of Himself on the cross for our sakes, we are encouraged to do three things - three ways the blood of Jesus calls us to respond. So let us…
God’s adoption of us was intentional, it was costly, it saved us from death, it blesses us with a relationship with our Father as we are given a Spirit of sonship and it confers an eternal inheritance upon us. Thank you God for this blessing that flows from regeneration.
Regeneration or being born again is one of God’s mysteries. However, as theologians, there is much to discover and learn about it, as we examine Jesus’ words on being born again in John 3.
HEBREWS 9:11-10:18 (CSB) Sin is a major problem, but Jesus is a great Savior, and because of Him, because of His body broken for us and His blood shed for us we can have peace with God.
HEBREWS 9:1-14 (CSB) Are you paralyzed by a dirty? Does that feeling of moral stain on your soul leave you in despair and hopelessness? There is one solution; only one thing that can cleanse and make you whole and that is the blood of Jesus Christ shed at the cross for you and me. And for anyone who believes that counted for them – you will be saved.
Hebrews 8:1 - 13 (CSB) The writer of Hebrews brings to conclusion the Superiority of Jesus Christ's priesthood and how this priesthood mediates over a heavenly covenant. All of this is anchored in God being the one that does the work.
John 11:1-44 (ESV) Jesus calls you by name to come out of the empty tomb. Take off your grave clothes and live in the freedom He has purchased for you by His death and resurrection.
HEBREWS 7:1-28 (CSB) The author of Hebrews in chapter 7 clearly states that Jesus is better than any sacrificial system ever written under Moses. Jesus is the faithful and merciful high priest we need.
A follower of Jesus should want to make the most they can in order to make the biggest impact they can all for the Glory of God and the advancing of His Kingdom.
We are called to give our first and best because God gave us His first and best in Jesus. Our response to the Gospel should compel us to be generous with everything, and this includes our money and resources.
The Bible teaches that it’s possible to wisely save and invest for the future while also being rich toward God by storing up treasures in heaven. Saving and investing honours God because it rightly values money as a gift that He has given to us.
If we are to live the abundant life in our finances and manage money like grownups, we must first be honest with ourselves. Are we driven by fear, that leads to control or neglect? This will never lead to the abundant life. We must anchor ourselves in the Biblical truths that shape our understanding about money and God.
HEBREWS 6:9-20 (CSB) After giving three stern warnings the author of Hebrews begins to encourage the people of God, reminding them that God – who makes a promise and swears an oath – cannot lie! Therefore we can take Him at His word.
HEBREWS 5:11-6:8 (CSB) The author of Hebrews gives some strong warnings that we should listen to. Be careful of immaturity, ambiguity and forgery that leads to apostasy.
HEBREWS 4:14-5:10 (CSB) Jesus, is the ultimate High Priest – He is our ultimate High Priest, therefore we can boldly approach the throne of grace, so we can receive mercy and find grace.
HEBREWS 4:12-13 (CSB) We are devoted to God’s Word because of what it is - it’s GOD’S WORD, - and because of what it does: it pierces, and divides, and discerns, and exposes, But we especially love it because, GOD’S WORD, shows us the Father!
HEBREWS 4:1-11(CSB) Entering God’s rest should be a priority for God’s people. It brings us away from a slave-like relationship with God and into one that responds to His grace. It brings us past dead religion and into full life and joy with Him. It brings us away from fear and worries, and into a trust which is free in His love. It takes us past self-effort and self-righteousness into running in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
We were never ready for the COVID-19 pandemic. But are we ready for the ultimate unexpected global event? As we emerge from the pandemic let's re-evaluate our lives through the lens of scripture and a correct understanding of the time we live in. Let's do everything needed to be ready.
For many of us, all the worrying from the pandemic has caused us to get into some bad habits, and in some situations its caused us to fixate on the concerns of this world and to latch onto things whilst holding back from joyfully participating in the kingdom of God. In Luke 12:13-34 (CSB), Jesus has some encouraging words. Don't Worry!
It’s time to check in… How are we doing in light of the pandemic?
Jesus makes us Alive.
HEBREWS 3:1-19(CSB) The hardening of hearts haunts the writer of Hebrews. His worry is that the fate of the generation of the Exodus will be repeated by the Jewish Christians – our concern should be, could this happen to us? Many of our spiritual exoduses had been beautiful – story after story of what God did, but the question is - when hardships come, will we finish well?
Hebrews 2:5-18 (CSB) We are now presented with the humanity of Jesus, but nothing being taken away from His deity. Jesus is both fully God and fully human - two things necessary for the salvation of the world.
The writer of Hebrews warns us to pay attention to all that Jesus has said lest we drift away and find ourselves in dark dangerous waters. ARE YOU LISTENING?
