Sunday Words of Encouragement March 10, 2019

Our Sunday School teacher shared a lesson on spiritual gifts based on 1 Corinthians 12. After praise and worship our youth pastor shared this week’s message on The Bridge from Hebrews 3.

Pastor J noted that Hebrews is a letter to Jewish followers who were acing persecution and difficulties. The letter was to encourage the followers not to abandon their faith in Jesus.
Hebrews 3:1-11 establishes Christ as our hope.
Things in our day to day lives compete for our time, our energy and our faithfulness to Jesus. Things pull our attention to the temporary, away from the eternal.
Something is competing for your attention – it may be friends, social media, work, games or something else. We find ourselves struggling with circumstances.

We are God's house and Jesus is in control of the house.

Our past often completes with future. The same God who handled my past wants to do something with my future.
There is nothing in your past that compares with your life in Christ. Hebrews 3:7-19.
We need to refocus to use something in your past to push you into your future. We must keep moving forward. Hebrews 3:12-19.
Make a choice to move forward with the Bridge; with Jesus.
Identify what is competing for you. What is your Moses?

I had a couple songs in mind. I chose this - Only Jesus.
Verses for Today:
Hebrews 3:3-6 NIV
3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

Lord, I pray that you help me let go of distractions and help me focus on my future in Christ Jesus.
