The apostle Paul reminded the Ephesians that God is able to do far beyond anything they could ask or imagine (Eph 3:20). As we head into the New Year we should ask ourselves how much we are truly relying on God. Are we bringing him our requests? Are we allowing His life inside of us to shape our worldview? Are we depending on Him more than we are depending on ourselves? Join us as we seek to move forward into the New Year as people of prayer. People who bring everything to God trusting that He can do far beyond our wildest dreams.

One powerful truth of Christmas is the truth that baby in the manger is Immanuel—God with us and God for us. God coming to seek and save the lost. Coming to save us from our sins. We are so valuable to God that He purchased us not with silver or gold but with His own blood—the blood He took to Himself in the womb of Mary. This is the good news of great joy of Christmas! Our Savior is born! And He is fully intent on regaining His precious treasure—you and me. We are His pearl of great price!

In this teaching by Keith Hershey, we are invited to taste and see the goodness of God—Jesus! This is what Christmas is all about, experiencing God’s Gift to us. During His earthly ministry, Jesus would invite people to “have some” of His Life, His Love, His Grace, His Faith—basically ALL that is His! We also can learn how to receive everything that He is in us and all that He has done for us. We just need to relax and respond to the truly GOOD NEWS that God loves us completely, favors us abundantly, and blesses us eternally! Enjoy!

In the last chapter of Hebrews we are given many exhortations on how to practically run the race of faith. Everything from hospitality, to care for prisoners, to instructions regarding marriage and money, to respect and prayer for our leaders, to encouragement in trails, is covered. And the book ends on the note it has been singing from the very beginning—Jesus Christ is all we need and His grace is sufficient. Join us as we finish up this powerful book of the Bible!

Because of everything God has done for us, and the presence of Christ within us, we get to run the race of faith with endurance and confidence that our good Father is directing us every step of the way. If we feel discouraged and feeble we don’t have to throw in the towel. The Lord is with us to pick us up and set us on the path of His peace. And we can run with holy reverence and confidence in our Father because our race is in the midst of our Mediator Jesus and in the presence of His blood blood which speaks love, mercy, and grace over us. Join us as we journey through Hebrews 12!

“The Book of Hebrews” (Part 14)
Today we will finish our way through “the hall of faith” of Hebrews 11. In this section of Hebrews the author is basically “name dropping.” Dozens of stories are mentioned or alluded and we are shown there is much to glean from the lives of the faithful(l) who have gone before us. By faith strongholds come tumbling down (Heb 11:30), God’s salvation is “received” (Heb 11:31), the weak become strong and manifest miracles (Heb 11:32-35), and we are enabled to bear crosses and deny ourselves (Heb 11:35-40). Christ in us is enough to author and perfect our lives faithful(l)ness!

God truly desires for us to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is for us, and loves us, and has has taken away our sins. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit, are all harmonizing in a victorious song to the finished work of Christ on the cross. Because Christ’s flesh was torn, we can enter into the Edenic pleasure that was lost. And through the torn body we see the loving heart of God, and can come boldly into His presence. At the same time, those who refuse the gift of this great love and salvation, those who scorn the spirit of grace and shrink back in unbelief, have only judgment and punishment as an alternative. There is no safety and life outside of the Good Shepherd. And as we continue to live this life we live understanding that this world is not our home. We are just pilgrims passing through. We walk by faith, not sight. Join us as we look at Hebrews 10-11.

The Father never took pleasure in the pools of blood made by the sacrifices of bulls and goats (Heb. 10:5). Rather, His pleasure was in what those sacrifices were a faint picture of—the offering of His Son’s body on the Cross. Christ on the Cross was THE Sacrifice to end all sacrifices (Heb. 10:9). It is at the cross where we are brought into a new and eternal covenant with God. It is at the cross where we are perfected and made holy (Heb. 10:10). The work of the cross is a finished work (Heb. 10:12) and that work has enabled us to walk in a CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with the Father rather than attempting to relate to Him through RELIGIOUS RITUAL. Join us as we continue looking at the book of Hebrews!

In chapter 9 of Hebrews we are shown some ways in which the Old Covenant shadowed the New Covenant and what we can learn about Christ through those shadows. We also are shown how the ONE SACRIFICE of the New Covenant—Christ on the Cross—is FAR GREATER than the millions of sacrifices under the Old Covenant. Seeing and being grasped by the sacrifice of Christ frees us to serve God in a more intimate way than Israelite priests ever could have. God truly desires to be part of our lives. And He has purposed to be part of our lives by sending His Son Jesus. What a joy to have Jesus!
