A Consistent Hope: Stay Near

Oct 5, 2025    Pastor William Parsons

In this powerful exploration of Hebrews 10, we're confronted with the sobering reality of apostasy and the importance of staying near to God. The central message revolves around our response to the hope we've received through Christ. We're reminded that there are only two paths: one leading to God, and one leading away from Him. The scripture emphasizes three critical actions of those who forsake the gospel: rejecting God's truth, trampling on the Son of God, and despising the spirit of grace. This serves as a stark warning for us to examine our hearts and guard against even the smallest seeds of unbelief or unforgiveness. Pastor Will draws interesting parallels between our human tendency to resist authority and our relationship with God, highlighting our desire for blessings without restrictions. Ultimately, we're called to reflect on our own faith journey, to stay vigilant, and to pray for those who may be drifting away from God. Pastor Will challenges us to remain steadfast in our faith and to cherish the precious gift of salvation we've received.
