LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S BROADCAST
The Fruits of Discipline
Monday, February 08, 2010
God’s discipline is always for our spiritual good. It is very important that we stay in the race and not drop out. God wants us to help our brothers and sisters in Christ to stay in the race and not get discouraged.
Hebrews 12:9 - 13

Our Need for Discipline
2/1/2010 - Monday
We need to understand that the Christian life is filled with difficulties and trials. To see those as the discipline of the Lord will help us not get weary and quit. That God disciplines us is evidence that we are His adopted sons and daughters.
 
 
Running With Endurance
1/25/2010 - Monday
The author of Hebrews uses the analogy of a long distance footrace in a stadium to describe the Christian life. We need to lay aside all distractions, run with endurance, with our eyes on the goal, and do not lose heart.
 
 
Heroes of Faith
1/18/2010 - Monday
The author of Hebrews gives a list of names of people who did mighty things through faith. He intends this list to inspire and motive as we remember the events in the OT. We also learn that even when the outcome appears unfavorable: torture or martyrdom, their faith was still demonstrated.
 
 
The most important question concerning Christian practices is: What has God ordained? The Israelites kept the Passover and were saved because God ordained the Passover for them. We also discuss Rahab who believed in the God of Israel and was saved.
 
 
Moses made a dramatic choice when he gave the treasures of Egypt to identify with the Hebrew people of his ancestry. We apply that to the lives of Christians today, who must choose to associate with the gospel and God’s people rather than enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin.
 
 
The Faith of the Patriarchs
12/28/2009 - Monday
This section speaks of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Moses' parents. We discuss how they expressed faith and how we can learn from their example. We also discuss God's providence in the birth and preservation of Moses.
 
 
This section points to heaven as the destination for the people of faith. We discuss how important heavenly citizenship is for believers and that heaven is often wrongly de-emphasized in many churches. The faith of the patriarchs pointed to heaven and so should ours.
 
 
Abraham exemplifies the type of faith that God wants us to have: faith in God and His promises. We discuss how important preaching God’s word is to the church so that His flock is constantly reminded about God and His promises so they have an object for their faith.
 
 
Noah believed God when instructed about the coming flood, though he had never seen such a thing. We also must believe God about coming judgment even though the world mocks that idea. Abraham left the safety of family and home to obey God because he believed God's promise.
 
 
This section of Hebrews starts out by pointing us to the Biblical doctrine of God's creation not only of the world, but the "ages." Then the story of Cain and Able shows us that we must come to God on His terms, not our own. We then discuss what it means to believe that God's exists and that God rewards believers.
 
 
Christian faith is not some metaphysical entity, but belief in God and His promises. We discuss these verses in light of some currently popular heresies and point our listeners to the meaning of the Holy Spirit inspired author of Hebrews.
