Cambria Pulpit

Sometimes, when we look at the heroes of the faith, we forget that we share the same faith and serve the same God. Through Christ, we too can have powerful faith and do great things for God.

Some people talk a lot but never follow through. Sadly, many people in the church do the same. They claim to know Christ but live like the world. Hebrews 11:23-31 shows that true faith always results in action.

Sometimes life seems unbearable. The pain and trials of a sin-cursed world drag us down. But faith is the key in these difficult seasons. We can trust Christ even when we cannot see. 

Hebrews 11 is often called the Hall of Faith. But this chapter is more than just a list of exceptional people with extraordinary faith. It calls us to live by the same faith as these believers. The righteous will live by faith. 

Trials are a regular part of the Christian life, but sometimes they cause us to question our faith. We wonder, "What is God doing? Why is this so hard?" But Hebrews 10:32-39 reminds us that God has a purpose in our trials so we can have confident faith in Him. 

Warnings are important for our safety. But those who ignore the warning signs will suffer the consequences. Hebrews 10:26-31 gives us a warning we cannot ignore. Beware of rejecting Christ.

What is the purpose of our good works? Why do we go to church or serve others? Because Christ alone has secured our salvation, we should serve Him with our lives. 

What part do we play in our salvation? In Hebrews 10, we learn that salvation comes entirely by God's grace, not by our effort. Christ did it all for us. So Jesus alone is our Savior. 

Nobody likes to lose their valuables. So we keep important things in safe places. But what about your eternal destiny? Who do you trust for your salvation? In Hebrews 9, we see that Christ's true and final sacrifice is the only security for your eternal salvation.

Religious rituals make people feel closer to God. But do they actually make us right with God? Hebrews 9 teaches us that purity and fellowship with God can only come through Christ. 

Do you wish you could go back to the good old days? Many people long for the past because it's familiar and comfortable. But Hebrews 8 says we have a better future with better promises. In Christ, we have the new and better covenant.

Jesus is the point of all things. He is the ruler and the fulfillment. In this text, we see that Jesus' supremacy is the point of the book and our lives. 

Where is your faith? In Hebrews 7:11-28, we learn that a relationship with God comes through the perfection of Jesus, not our good works. In Christ, we have a Better Priest and a Better Covenant. 

Do you try to earn God's favor through good works? Hebrews 7:11-28 teaches us that a relationship with God comes through the perfection of Jesus, not our actions. We have a Better Priest and a Better Covenant. Listen to the sermon here: www.cambriabaptist.org/sermons-2/

Do you wish you could go back to the good old days? Many people think that if things could go back to the way they were, life would be better. But we should look forward to the future when Christ returns and brings true peace and righteousness. 

Do you ever have days where it feels like things can't get any worse? In the worst moments of life, God has not forgotten you. He made a promise to you, and He will keep it. So you can anchor your life to Christ. 

How do we handle people who fall away from the faith? How can we guard our own hearts from apostasy? Hebrews 6:4-8 warns us of this danger and encourages us to remain faithful. 

Are you growing as a Christian? Too many Christians fail to mature and thrive in their relationship with God. They remain spiritual infants. But Hebrews 5:11-6:3 tells us it's time to grow up. 

Who represents us to God? How can imperfect sinners go before God's throne? In Hebrews 5, we see that Jesus is our perfect High Priest. Christ provides us with confident access to God.

How can we live out our salvation when we fail so often? Sometimes following Christ and keeping the faith seems impossible. The good news is, we have a High Priest who is like us. So we can draw near to God through Christ. 

Maps help us stay on track and reach our destination. So what map can lead us to the eternal rest of heaven? In Hebrews 4:11-13, we're instructed to strive for the eternal rest by trusting the power of God's Word. The Bible is the map that leads to glory. 

Many people claim to be Christians but want little to do with God and His Word. They're in danger of missing God's rest because of their disobedient hearts. So Hebrews 4 challenges us to strive for the eternal rest. 

How important is prayer in missions work? 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 encourages us to pray for missionaries because it's vital to their success. So we can help our missionaries through the power of prayer. 

Warnings serve an important purpose in our lives. We need warnings to protect us from potential danger. In Hebrews 3:7-19, God tells us to beware of unbelief. Thankfully, His Word is the solution to our unbelief. Listen to the sermon here: www.cambriabaptist.org/sermons-2/

Life is full of uncertainty. Nobody knows what a day or a year will bring. In this uncertain world, we need stability. We need Christ. So consider Jesus and hold fast to Him in hope.
