James 5

  • rich people's woe
    • wages failed to pay are crying out against you
  • be patient
  • let your yes be yes, and your no, no
  • Eljah was a man just like us
    • prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective;

Heb 12:14-29

  • holiness is a necessary condition to see the Lord;
  • Esau -> godless;
  • We've come not to a mountain that ca be touched;
    • but to Mount Zion
      • the heavenly Jerusalem
      • the city of the living God
  • At that time -> his voice shook the earth;
  • Now -> shake the earth and heavens

Heb 3

  • Jesus the high priest;
  • the Holy Spirit says (v7)
    • through Psalm 95
    • to the audience today
    • God's words last forever
    • speaks to generations after generations;
  • today, before it's too late
  • hold firm the confidence we had at first to the end
    • at first we were confident
    • over time the confident may fade, even lost;
    • but we have the power to hold firm and renew it today, any day
  • their unbelief has cost them the blessing of entering God's rest;
