Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriageContinue reading “Hebrews 13: 1-6…Positive Living.”

Hebrews 12: 25-29… There is more to come!
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more IContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 25-29… There is more to come!”
Hebrews 12: 18-24…. A comparison.
For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. For they could not endure the order that was given, “If evenContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 18-24…. A comparison.”
Hebrews 12: 14-17…. Moral requirements.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy likeContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 14-17…. Moral requirements.”
Hebrews 12: 1-2 Are we alone in our faith?
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was setContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 1-2 Are we alone in our faith?”
1 Samuel 3: 8-14…..Eli wakes up !
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy.

Hebrews 11: 23-31…. A journey from Egypt.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated withContinue reading “Hebrews 11: 23-31…. A journey from Egypt.”
Hebrews 11: 17-22… A huge test for Abraham.
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figurativelyContinue reading “Hebrews 11: 17-22… A huge test for Abraham.”
Hebrews 10: 32-39…..Remember where you’ve been.
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that youContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 32-39…..Remember where you’ve been.”
Hebrews 10: 26-31….Is this really true?
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of twoContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 26-31….Is this really true?”
