Lightly edited sermon transcript:
I’m glad to be with you, once again, to bring the Word of God to you, and I would ask you to turn to Hebrews chapter 12. I will be preaching the Word of God from this part of the Scriptures. I’m going to start reading from verse 25, and continue through the end of the chapter. Having described for us the kind of worship that we are to bring, the spiritual realities of our worship when we draw near to God, the writer then warns us about the wrong approach to God, and the right approach to God. See how he puts it in verse 25,
“See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking,” that is, the Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven, “For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. For His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.’ This expression, ‘Yet once more,’ denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.”
Please join me as we ask God for His blessing on this portion of His Word.
