Message: “A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken” from Zach Schlegel

Hebrews 12:14-29

Jesus once told a parable to illustrate the infinite value of knowing and following Him. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field” (Matthew 13:44). He sold all he had to get the field. But the loss of all his belongings was not a disappointment; he did it with joy! Value is essential to endurance in the Christian life. If we believe the reward at the end of the great value, we’ll (by God’s grace) strive to keep going. If we believe the reward is insignificant or of little value, we’ll give up running and drift off course. That is what we see in Hebrews 12: worship is the key to perseverance in the Christian life.

I. Strive for holiness together (12:14-17)

II. Strive for holiness because of grace (12:18-24)

III. Strive for holiness because of God’s judgment (12:25-29)
