Hebrews - So Great a Salvation, part 17

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

We have a race set before us. We are to run this race with perseverance. We often become discouraged in times of hardship; however, Hebrews tell us that what we will receive through this hardship will strengthen us. When we know that we are forever His and that everything that happens, good or bad, brings us closer to him. Jesus is on our side. Because of that, we can be encouraged in discipline. Run your race, with perseverance, and others will see that Jesus really is truth and light.

Teaching the Truth

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

Today is "Teacher Appreciation Day" and we all have teachers to thank for their influence in our lives. It's a great day to say "thank you" to those special people. One of the great truths we have the opportunity to teach is the complete forgiveness in Jesus Christ. When we receive him, we receive forgiveness of sins. And we see that when Peter delivers the first Gospel message to Gentiles. Acts 10

The key that unlocks the door for many, many people is coming to the reality that Jesus has forgiven all of their sins. When I understood Colossians 2:13 everything really clicked for me.

The Message of Reconciliation

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

We're all wondering if God really forgave all our sins. We know that Christ died for sins, but don't really understand what it means. When we understand our sins have been forgiven once and for all it's the door to growing in grace - to growing in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 "All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself ..."

Encounter Jesus

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

In the message of forgiveness is encountering the risen Christ. It is the resurrected Christ. Our encounter with Jesus is through the Holy Spirit by faith. We read this in Acts 2:22, 32 "Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. ... God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it."
