You Need Endurance (Heb 10:32-39)

You Need Endurance – Hebrews 10:32-39 Since life is a long, hard contest, you need enduring faith. Where will you turn with that need? What evidence do you see that these Christians endured real persecution in the past? (vv. 32-33) How did they handle it? (v. 34) Why does the author bring it up? (vv. 35-36a) What else does he tell them to focus on for motivation to endure? (vv. 34c, 35b, & 36c) What is the intended result of this mindset? (vv. 37-39) Contrast the choices implied in the text: Facing Life's Great Struggles Pr A c es en tio t n Fu Re tur su e lt Forgetfully Wallow Throw Away Con]idence Focus on Self & Circumstances Shrink Back & Be Destroyed Remember God's Help Courageously Endure in God's Will Focus on Christ & the Finish Line Have Faith & Preserve Their Souls Lo o Ba kin ck g L F o ook rw in g ar d To joyfully face life’s long, hard contest with a righteous heart, by faith we must daily choose to… • Remember God’s work in us and through us in the past • Focus on following Christ and our future reward (at the end of the race) So that we will… • Presently have courage to endure in God’s will • And preserve our souls to the end Branson Bible Church [see reverse side for application questions] October 1, 2017
