Kindred Responsibilities - Part 7

November 12, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:18–25

How do we bring this study in Hebrews to a close? How do we sum up all that has been said? How does the author? He says, “pray for us.” That is his final appeal through the Spirit. After all the doctrine and all the warnings, he asks for prayer. It is fitting end to this book. And it sheds some light on the 7th and final kindred responsibility from Hebrews 13 - An Appeal to Pray (13:18 - 15).

Kindred Responsibilities - Part 5

October 29, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:8–9, Matthew 24:4–5, Matthew 24:11, Matthew 24:23–27, Galatians 1:7–9

We are rounding out our study in Hebrews. As we do, our kindred responsibilities to one another as fellow new covenant citizens in the unshakeable kingdom of Christ remain our focus. Building again on the foundation of love (13:1), we also must agree upon sound doctrine (13:8 & 9). We share an obligation to hold fast to that which is true. We cannot be taken in by falsehood. The insistence upon sound doctrine is for the benefit of the church in the world. Join us today as we talk about the need for sound doctrine, and how to keep ourselves from being taken in by it.

Kindred Responsibilities - Part 4

October 22, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:7, Hebrews 13:17

We are fellow new covenant citizens in the unshakeable kingdom of Christ. As such, we have talked about our shared responsibility to God and to one another. In Hebrews 13:7 and 17 another concern about the influence of the spirit of the age appears, and it has to do with our attitude toward authority. We see that play out in a culture that overemphasizes the rights of individuals, and thus has a general disrespect and distrust for authority of any kind. Ironically, the same culture pines after personality and talent, with little thought to character and capacity. Both are disastrous for the church in the world.
