Faith’s Unshakeable Kingdom (Hebrews 12:18-29)

The overarching message of the book of Hebrews is that Christ is better and that truth ought to drive the way we live out our faith. We don't have faith in a kingdom that is shaken. The kingdom to which we fix our eyes is an unshakeable one because its king is an unshakeable God.

Faith and Holy Grace (Hebrews 12:12-17)

Faith in Christ is no promise of comfort and ease. When difficulties and challenges arise followers of Christ must be resolved to push forward with their eyes fixed on Christ. Additionally, Christ-followers must avoid bitterness to arise from the challenges and be shaped by holy grace.

Faith’s Endurance (Hebrews 12:4-11)

No good father would allow his child to continue on a path that leads to destruction and not offer correction. Our good Father, God, disciplines and corrects us for our good. The hardship and pain that we feel in this life are good for us as we seek to live lives pleasing to God.

Faith that Conquers (Hebrews 11:30-40)

Faith always triumphs. That triumph may be a visible victory, or it may be an invisible victory through hardship and suffering. It always triumphs because our faith is not in the performance of our faith. It is in something better, Jesus Christ.

Faith In Greater Wealth (Hebrews 11:20-29)

Faith Is … (Hebrews 11:1-3)

Faith is not an end in and of itself. Faith has an object. What is important truly is the object of your faith. The object of your faith dictates how you live in the here and now and will spend eternity.
