Look Up and Cry Out
As our Great High Priest, Jesus sympathizes with us in our times of need AND provides mercy and grace when we draw near to him. This is an updated version of an earlier sermon, hopefully improved.

A Spiritual Wake Up Call 2
What we have in our text is two key ingredients in the Christian life that will move us on to maturity. Last week we saw the first which was this point. 1. As believers we should learn obedience through what we suffer. (5:11-14) I showed you the connection of chapter 5:8-9 with verse 11 with the Greek word akouw. Christ learned obedience through what he suffered and because of this became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him. The problem was that the readers of this letter according to verse 11 had become dull of hearing. The word akouw which is the root word for the words obedience in verse 8, obey in verse 9, and hearing in verse 11 is used as a play on words to catch our attention. If the hearing of the people had grown dull, then so had their obedience. The trials and persecution should have pressed them on to maturity by pushing them toward Christ as their great High Priest but instead had driven them toward disobedience and possible apostasy. This morning I want you to see the second point. That is: 2. As believers we should learn perseverance through the beauty of our faith. (6:1-12)

Safeguarding Against Apostacy
There are in this passage two reasons we must not neglect the hearing of the Gospel. 1. If we neglect the hearing of the Gospel as believers we could end up in apostasy and perdition. 2. If we neglect the hearing of the Gospel as believers we neglect the only saving message that is available to all mankind.
