We had the privilege this week of our guest speaker, Manny Garcia, giving us encouragement from the Lord's perspective. We all wish our lives were one continuous progression of upticks, but it 'just ain't so'. We all experience intermittent lulls, setbacks, drawdowns, or any other descriptive you'd care to use. The Lord has control of it all and always...always weaves those instances into our lives for our good and His glory. Amen to that.

Very few people truly understand the times in which we live. Over the past 2,000 years, Christianity was birthed in blood, sacrifice and the tears of the saints. Then the needs of survival crept in, and very slowly, the fear of losing power. That entrapment has lasted over much of the past two millennia. Leadership can be influenced very easily over time, but the man, woman, and child "on the street" through the centuries has never changed. The faithful are seeking Christ in their hearts always. And that's the concern here today. The faithful, if ever there has been a time in history since Jesus trod over the dirt roads of Israel, today is the day when each of us needs to understand the absolute necessity of burning our boats and never looking back. Being sold out to Our Living Lord and His Father and empowered by the Spirit of God Himself needs to be at the heart of everything we think, say, and do in these most tragic days in history; tragic to the world, but the time of the dawn of Our Hope. Certainly, there are many Christians in the U.S. who truly love the Lord and are dedicated to serving Him through action toward others. But I must confess, personally, that when I hear of the dedication of those in impoverished countries throughout the world, the example of those believers has a profound effect on me. I hope the same for you. Sunday morning we're having our usual coffee and I asked Nancy "What's your sermon about today?" and she replied "I have something on Hebrews", to which I immediately gave my best attempt at a wry smile, and replied "You lied"! But, she gave her best defense in stating that she was inspired with an additional thought that she believed the Lord impressed on her. I have no comeback for that. I have not had an opportunity to edit the video to the sermon only. So, today we have the entire service posted, so feel free to scroll forward to the sermon.  We know that the whole law is summoned up in to "Love your God with your whole heart, mind, and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself". But how do we do that exactly? By living outside the camp; an interesting approach. Today we wrap up Hebrews by discussing the final goal.
