Church Anytime.
Invest time together this week in Scripture, Prayer, Worship and Serving. We’ve put together everything you need to have a Church gathering anywhere, anytime. It’s provided freely every week and is based on the broadcast Sunday message.
Behind the curtain.
This is the curtain or veil that was torn the instant Jesus died. It’s tearing was a symbolic removal of the separation between man and God, a demonstration of the way Jesus had gone through the veil and secured our passage to follow Him. The image of the anchor is not just one of steady security through stormy times, but something that secures us into the very presence of God.
Safely Anchored.
A number of years ago I embarked on a wreck dive just off the coast of Umkomaas on the South Coast. The sea there is notoriously temperamental and our boat arrived at the dive site just as the current really began to pick up. It was a touch and go decision whether to continue with the dive, and some divers decided rather to spend the time in the boat on the surface.
Sure of better things.
Nobody likes uncertainty. Just look around at the current climate of the virus restricted world we’re trying to make sense of. It’s so difficult to build and plan in these times, knowing how drastically everything can change in a heartbeat. We’ve learned that the certainty that we used to bank on was never truly dependable. Where can we find real certainty?
Something Impossible.
Christians are compared to land. The passage says that people who have experienced the incredible power of the Word of God and His Holy Spirit in their lives, are expected to produce the fruit of faithful obedient lives. The more God reveals Himself to us, the more is expected from us. It is a challenging passage that cuts to the heart of the message of Hebrews. Don’t fall away from God.
What is God’s will for me?
What seldom gets the same attention is the amazing way that married couples get to know each other from years of shared experiences. The more we go through with those we love the better we get to understand what’s important to them. The same is true in our relationship with God.
