Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Hebrews

Maybe Today

HEBREWS 9:27 – “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” THEME OF THE DAY: MAYBE TODAY.  In today’s scripture, unless Jesus returns in clouds, there is the declaration of an appointment for every human being that will be kept.  It cannot be cancelled, rescheduled, ignored, or forgotten.  We will keep it. We don’t…

How to Prevent a Hard Heart

HEBREWS 3:12-13 – “Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

We Are Responsible To Each Other

Hebrew 3:12-13 – “Take care, brothers and sisters, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”        THEME OF THE DAY: WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO…
