Hold Fast to Christ
Hebrews 3:1-6 Hebrews chapter 3, please turn over there for what we’re going to see in this section from verses 1 to 6. This is the pastor comparing and contrasting Jesus with Moses, a couple of points of comparison. And as the pastor goes through and compares Jesus with Moses, you understand that what he’s essentially driving at in this section is to turn his people away from going back to Moses, so to speak, back to the synagogue and…
Let Us Run to Jesus, Part 1
Hebrews 12:1-3 Turn with me this morning to Hebrews chapter 12, back to where we left off. I want to begin this morning with an anecdote from history just to set the, the stage for Hebrews chapter 12.

This is Paul’s exhortation to heavenly mindedness. Back in April, Gary Brotherton preached a message out of Colossians and went through some…
Run to Win
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 If you can take your Bibles and open them to 1 Corinthians chapter 9 this morning. Normally on Sunday mornings, we’re going through, working our way through Luke’s Gospel, but I felt compelled this week to direct our attention to the example of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.
