Keep the Faith
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Feb 21 2010)
Series: Hebrews
Mere professors of faith will be revealed when the true possessors of faith are able to keep it unto the end. In this somewhat controversial warning passage in Hebrews, the Bible teaches that someone who leaves Christianity isn't simply backsliding, but is indicating that they never had true saving faith to begin with; if they were sincere converts, they would have been able to keep the faith.
Affiliation Is Not Assimilation
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Feb 7 2010)
Series: Hebrews
Just because someone hangs out at church with God's people doesn't automatically make that person one of God's children -- just like spending the night in a garage doesn't make you a car! Everyone must personally accept Jesus Christ for themselves; you cannot receive the Savior by osmosis from other Christians. This passage offers a historical precedent and scriptural support for this truth.
Be Assured
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jan 31 2010)
Series: Hebrews
This passage has been referred to as the ingredients of a Christian's salad; three times the Bible uses the words "let us" (lettuce) and gives admonition to draw near in faith, hold fast in hope, and encourage others in love. This kind of holy living will produce in us an assurance of our salvation in Christ.
Have a Seat
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jan 24 2010)
Series: Hebrews
After talking about the inferior nature of the Old Testament animal sacrifices, the author of Hebrews moves on to the superiority of Christ's sacrifice. He argues that His sacrifice is superior by virtue of two reasons. You and I can be secure in our salvation because Christ is seated on the right hand of God, having offered an eternal sacrifice.
ROUTE -- Church Goals for 2010
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jan 17 2010)
Series: On the Road Again
Grace Baptist Church's theme for 2010 is ROUTE - Movin' On Down the Road! In this "family meeting" message, Pastor Amsbaugh lays out what God has put on his heart for this upcoming year. Each letter of the word ROUTE stands for an aspect of our ministries that we will enhance or initiate with God's grace in 2010.
You're Not My Type
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jan 3 2010)
Series: Hebrews
Blood is important to God for the completion of the redemption process. However, the type of blood is key to its success and permanence. The Bible is plain that the blood of animals doesn't work for eternity. This message presents three arguments why the blood of Jesus is the right type of blood that we need applied to our souls.
