Intro
Text - Hebrews 6.9-12
Background
The context
the author was speaking against the immaturity of the saints he was addressing
they were supposed to be teachers already
they needed to be reminded again of the elementary principles of Christ
they were high risk when it came to falling away
The text
on the other hand, although they were slow in knrowth in knowledge, the author found them to be passionate in service
“we are confident of better things concerning you...”
you have ministered to the saints in the name of Christ
you must show the same diligence (in your service) towards your salvation
you must not become sluggish in gaining full assurance of yor hope to the end
The Main Point
Christians should be as passionate in service as they are in their salvation, and vice versa.
those who are eager to be assured of their salvation will also be eager to minister
Those who are eager to minister/serve as doing so because they have been assured of their salvation!
Passion for Christian service should flow from one’s assurance of salvation.
we serve because we have been saved
we serve because we love and honor the name of Christ
we serve because we are following a pattern for Christian living that is fitting for the heirs of the promises of God.
Sermon Points
We serve because we have been saved
salvation first, before service
we serve out of love
love is demonstrated in service
We serve because we love and honor the name of Christ
next to worship, service is the second best way of honoring the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
we follow His life - he came to serve
We serve because this is the life that is fitting for the heirs of God’s promises
those who inherit the promise are faithful and patient
those who inherit the promises “endure”
those who inherit the promise “dwell together”
Conclusion
God has appointed us all to a fruitful life
FRUITFULNESS is demonstrated and fulfilled through Christian SERVICE/MINISTRY
