PIONEERED BY JESUS INTO GOD'S FAMILY
Hebrews 2:10-13 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises." And again, “I will

OUR UNCHANGING LORD
Hebrews 13:7-8 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:7-8 In the beginning, God spoke the word into being from nothing and in the beginning was the Word, Who was with God and was God. That living Word of God is Jesus Christ, the righteous Man born of a woman. Jesus of Nazareth is the incarnate Word, the Son of God Who was gi

ONE GOD, ONE LORD
1 Corinthians 8:5-6 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "Lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 Paul writes, there is indeed one God. He is the Father. All things come from Him, and we exist for Him. Also, there is only one Lor

NO FEAR
2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 The whole picture in this verse is not talking about a fear of God, but a fear of man, a fear of what could happen to us in this world, a fear of things going this way or that way around us, fear of circumstances, and all kinds of ways like that. God has not given us a spirit of fear though. He has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control. T

MERCIFUL, FAITHFUL AND SUFFERING HIGH PRIEST
Hebrews 2:17-18 For this reason, he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:17-18 We have a sympathetic Savior who faced temptation and We have a sympathetic Savior who faced rempration and understands the difficult

MATURING ON SOLID FOOD
Hebrews 5:13-14 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:13-14 These verses are, in a sense, a rebuke to those who should be mature in their faith, mature in their understanding of God's Word, but who still drink milk like an infant in faith. I read this, and I'm compelled to pray for maturi

MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST
1 Corinthians 15:20-25 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the fistfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority

LOVE LANGUAGE
Hebrews 13:1-3 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Hebrews 13:1-3 We are called in this verse to develop a strong kinship with all members of the body of Christ and to engender a strong f

LIVING WORD
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2 This verse speaks of the great essentials that must be carried on to fulfill the prayer of our Lord and to advance the kingdom of God and bring to fulfillment the amazing work that began by His first appearing upon the earth. When we read the phrase "preach the Word," most of us think that this is addres

LIFE OF PRAISE
Hebrews 13:14-16 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:14-16 The Lord Jesus offered up His sinless life to His Heavenly Father as the full, final, and sufficient sacrifice for the sin of the w
