The Greater Kingdom

We’re continuing right along in our Series, ‘Anchor of the Soul,’ where we’ve been exploring the book of Hebrews. If you've been following along, you’ve heard us say that Hebrews is unique in its composition in that it’s written as a sermon more than a letter. As such, it keeps building upon itself — The ideas that the ‘preacher’ keeps presenting are tied together. So if you haven’t had a chance to catch up, it might be a good idea to do so.

For Week 15, we explored Hebrews 12:18-29 and explored how we who belong to Christ can approach God’s holiness differently than those who do not. The preacher compared the experience of the Israelites on Mt. Sinai with the experience of those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life on Mt. Zion. The question that we asked ourselves was, “Which mountain am I approaching God’s holiness upon?” The BIG IDEA this week came straight from the text: “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,…” Give it a listen and we pray that encourages you to increasingly submit your whole life to the empowering presence and lordship of Jesus Christ!
