The People Who Keep Showing Up: What This Changes Between Us

About

A single Sunday from Hebrews 10:19-25 for a church that shares a building and still sits in parallel. The letter starts with blood, a living way, and a great priest over God's house, then commands a people to draw near, hold fast the confession of hope, consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, and not forsake assembling, as the custom of some already was. Romans 12:10 names tender affection and honor that prefers one another. Ephesians 4:32 names kindness, a tender heart, and forgiveness as God in Christ forgave. Hope becomes visible through gathering, encouragement, and deliberate love; what this changes between us is how we regard one another, because Christ opened the way, not because we finally liked the same people. Manuscript, outline, and midweek discussion.
