What we believe matters…How we live it matters just as much. We live it BEST when we live it together.


Hebrews 10:19-25

 

1. WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST (vv19-22)

2. WE HAVE A CONFESSION FROM CHRIST (v 23)

3. WE HAVE A COMMUNITY ORDERED BY CHRIST (vv 24-25)

4. WE HAVE A CULMINATING WITH CHRIST (v25) “the Day drawing near”

 

  1. A GOSPEL COMMUNITY EQUIPS ONE ANOTHER

Hebrews 10:24

Application:

  • SEEK OUT ONE ANOTHER – find out what’s going on in the family.
  • SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER – in a way that encourages each other to be on mission for the LORD!]

 

2. A GOSPEL COMMUNITY ENGAGES ONE ANOTHER

Hebrews 10:25

Christianity is not a religion for solitude and solitary. The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion. – John Wesley

Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a living presence.” – Samuel Coleridge

3. A GOSPEL COMMUNITY ENCOURAGES ONE ANOTHER

Hebrews 10:25

Application

  • Dependent on prayer
  • Gospel-Saturated

 

God has not designed us for independent, self-sufficient living. We were made for community, first with him, and then with his people. – Paul Tripp.

Summary:

WE WANT TO BE A HEALTHY CHURCH:

  • THAT EQUIPS ONE ANOTHER TO LOVE WELL AND WORK WELL!
  • BECAUSE GOD FIRST LOVED US – WE WANT TO LOVE HIM AND OTHERS.
  • BECAUSE THERE IS JOY IN SERVING JESUS!

A CHURCH THAT ENGAGES WITH ONE ANOTHER IN MEANINGFUL WAYS – 

  • NOT SETTLING FOR SUPERFICIAL…BUT LONGING FOR THE SUPERNATURAL FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IN ONE ANOTHER

A CHURCH THAT ENCOURAGES ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE TIME IS SHORT!

  • We live in the NOW and the NOT YET.
  • Jesus saved us.  He freed us.  He called us into a family.  He’s coming back soon.  He will judge the whole earth!
  • WE NEED EACH OTHER…WE’RE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER!

 

BY GOD’S DESIGN AND OUR JOYFUL OBEDIENCE, MISSION BIBLE CHURCH WILL BE THIS KIND OF GOSPEL COMMUNITY – A DREAM COME TRUE FOR MANY OF US – A WONDERFUL CHRIST-CENTERED FAMILY THAT WILL BE THE EVIDENCE OF THE GOSPEL TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE NATIONS!
