Hebrews 12:14-29
The scripture declares that God is a consuming fire. Not only does this refer to the judgement upon Christ's return, but also to the reality that He burns through the dross in our life, and brings transformation, purification and empowerment. The call to holiness involves finding the very life that God has for us.

Hebrews 11:17-40
Faith is the fuel of the Christian life. The author of Hebrews looks at the gaps in the many stories recounted in the Old Testament, and finds that faith helped each one push through. For some, faith helped them in the midst of risk. For others, it sustained their hope. It helped many to endure trials. All looked toward the realization of God's promises being fulfilled. May our lives be grounded in faith.

Hebrews 11:8-16
As we continue to look at people of faith, the author of Hebrews describes the life of Abraham. His faith in God was manifested in several ways. One was in his willingness to follow God to other lands, believing there would eventually be a promised land. As Christians, we need to live in this world as sojourners, regardless of our location, knowing that our true citizenship is in the Kingdom of God.

When God drew near to us, we were made holy through the sacrifice of Jesus. When we draw near to God, He makes us holy through the work of the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 1:3-9
God's ultimate goal is to transform us into the life of Christ, and He gives us all we need to participate in the divine nature. This change comes as we interact in Christian community, not if we isolate ourselves. We grow in the gifts and fruit of the Spirit by interacting in community.

Hebrews 6:13 - 7:28
As we get back to the Sermon Series on the book of Hebrews, we are reminded of how Abraham held out hope for many years, waiting for the fulfillment of God's promise. Fulfillment of God's promises in our life can be slow and long, but we need to be patient like Abraham. Jesus has become the guarantee of the new covenant, so we have this hope as an anchor for our soul.
