By this Many Become Defiled – Hebrews 12:1-17

Audio link includes communion portion of the service We begin Hebrews Chapter 12 this morning with the writer pointing to the faith heroes in Chapter 11, a “great cloud of witnesses,” and exhorting us to “let us lay aside every weight…and… run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1).  Endurance is the overarching theme of Hebrews – believers are called to…

She Judged Him Faithful Who Had Promised – Hebrews 11:11-16
