Are feelings reliable? Should they be the bases upon which we determine truth? Do they give use a accurate representation of our standing with God? These are the questions that we will address here in our time together. Am I asked to walk by feelings...

We must bear in mind that Hebrews was written to people who were being persecuted. Because they had forsaken Judaism for Christ, they were facing bitter opposition. There was a danger that they might interpret their suffering as a sign of God’s...

The world treated them as if they were not worthy to live. But the Spirit of God burst forth here with the interjection that actually it was the other way around—the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains and in dens and...

Like Rahab, the early Christians had confessed themselves hopeless sinners and had reached out to Christ. Had Rahab drawn back by refusing to bind the scarlet line in the window of her home she would have perished, for her failure to follow through...

The faith of Israel was a conquering faith. This was the kind of faith Israel needed in conquering Jericho—a faith that God could give victory over insurmountable forces. This is also the kind of faith that any person needs—a conquering faith. We need...

What lesson could the early Hebrew Christians derive from this? The obvious lesson, surely, was that they, too, must “go forward,” scorning the difficulties before them and the dangers behind them. But, to go forward, they must be truly saved, for...
