Series: The Book of Hebrews

February 12, 2017

Langdon Palmer

What if you had a spiritual coach who wasn't afraid to get in your face if he knew that was what was best for you ? The writer of Hebrews is such a coach and today he gives us his first warning - there is real danger in drifting away from the gospel. A clear sign of human sinfulness is the fact that for all us us, familiarity breeds contempt. We can be so familiar with the Good News that we begin to take it for granted, and then we become passive, and then we become ungrateful, and then we drift with the currents of life away from our Savior. Today we look at the sound teaching of Chapter Two which ends with great hope as we are giving a picture of how intensely Jesus desires to be with us.
