God's Promises about Money, Part 1
The readers of this letter to the Hebrews had experienced serious financial setbacks. Here in chapter 13 the author encourages them that nothing can happen to them outside of God's control, and that they can be content in the present because of God's promised presence, and they can be confident in the future because of God's promised help.

The Spirit Guarantees our Inheritance
Jesus promises His followers an inheritance that is so precious that it empowers devoted obedience, frees us for love, and strengthens us in suffering. But what is this inheritance, and how can we know it's really there -- and that it will really satisfy us? That's what Paul explains in Ephesians 1:13-14.

The Spirit Helps us Kill Sin
The key to killing sin isn't how hard we can grit our teeth. It's the fact that we have a superior pleasure so satisfying that temptations lose their power. So what is this superior pleasure -- and how can we use this so put sin to death?

The Spirit Bears Fruit
Paul says that love, joy, and peace are fruit of the Spirit. But too often we still try to produce them by our own efforts, without any reliance on the Holy Spirit. So how exactly does the Spirit produce this fruit, and what can we do to have this happen in us?
