Great crowd for Sunday School. Glad to see Phil Dobbins come in,. Gary, Gina and Megan, as well as our regulars. We are trying to record some of the services for playback on the web. However at this time we do not have the memory capability so we will post snippets of the services as they are available.
This mornings message was:
Where have all the Hero's gone?
Soldiers of the Cross are to live a heroic life after our Hero Jesus Christ.
Text taken from Hebrews Chapter 12:1-13 Focus on Verses 1-4
Heb 12:1-4 KJV Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (3) For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. (4) Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
We are to model our lives not after the lives of those hero's of the faith in Chapter 11, but after The Author and the Finisher of our Faith. Jesus Christ.
Three things Hero's can do:
1. Rid themselves of Sin by Acknowledging Sin in their Life and Repenting of the Sin.
2. Fix your Eyes on Jesus
3. Persevere in the Race
Verse one begins with we are compassed about by such a cloud of witnesses....
I ask you this Question: What about the witnesses we have around us today?
Who will be their Hero?
What kind if example are you to those about you?
I leave you this morning with that Question. What kind of Hero are you?
