On May 22nd I began 40 Days of HeBrews. Each day leading up to the July 1st launch of my new Bible study, I am posting snippets from the Bible study on the Facebook page. It could be quotes, Bible verses, or dessert recipes. (Yes, there are dessert recipes in the Bible study! You’re welcome.)
About once a week, I am going to post the snippets from the Facebook page right here at The Point, so those of you who are not on Facebook can get a taste of what is to come when the study launches July 1st. If you are on Facebook, and have not gone by the HeBrews: A Better Blend page and liked it yet, please do.
So, here are more of the HeBrews snippets I have posted. I hope it whets your appetite for more of HeBrews: A Better Blend.
- Day 23 ~ “I don’t know about you, but I find great comfort in knowing that I don’t always have to utter all the correct words in my prayers. All I need is a heart that cries out to God in utter dependence and trust. My Jesus, the One who intercedes for me before the throne of God, has all the right words.”
- Day 24 ~ ” The significance of the ark [of the Covenant] and the mercy seat cannot be understated. It was the place where Holy God condescended to meet with sinful man. The ark was where God’s mercy met man’s sinfulness.”
- Day 25 ~ “Is there something God has asked you to do? Is there a change you need to make in your life in order to be in God’s will? Has God spoken to your heart and said, “I want this”? Are you being obedient to do what He has asked, or are you following your own desires? Partial obedience is still disobedience. Delayed obedience is disobedience.”
- Day 26 ~ ” And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. This is the new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us through the sacred curtain, by means of his death for us.” Hebrews 10:19-20 (NLT)
- Day 27 ~ “The God of all creation who laid the earth’s foundation, the One who hung the stars in the sky and holds the very world in the palm of His hand; God who gives orders to the morning and shows the dawn its place, Yahweh, who knows where lightning originates, and commands the eagle to soar, welcomes you into His Presence.”
- Day 28 ~ “Most of us will never sit and chat with the President of the United States or the Queen of England, but everyone who calls on the name of Christ has the opportunity to talk to God on daily, even hourly, basis. BOLDLY we can come before Him. BOLDLY we can speak with Him. BOLDLY we can pour out our heart before Him. And we can do this with the assurance that He will not turn away.”
- Day 29 ~ “Sacrifice. Most of us who live in America do not sacrifice very much. I heard a pastor talking about giving once. The question he asked penetrated my heart and convicted me to the core. He said, “How often do you give until it hurts?” This week, we study the BETTER sacrifice made by Jesus.
I hope this whets your appetite for more of HeBrews: A Better Blend. Look for it in bookstores and e-tailers July 1st.
