Hebrews 10:19–25 NIV84
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

1. Don’t Give Up - Giving up is a habit that needs breaking

People don’t become quitters just because they quit once
Giving up is a habit
Giving up is a developed attitude
You need to put a lot of effort into creating a habit of giving up
The habit starts to develop after 1 occurence

2. We must have confidence in the Blood of Jesus

The Blood of Jesus still has power
The finished work of Jesus is finished
We either believe that His Blood can protect us or we don’t
We either believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever or we don’t
We either believe that the same power that rose Jesus is in us or we don’t
We either believe that God is greater or we don’t

3. We must get in the presence of God

When a king commanded all his subjects to bow down to his statue or die, 3 didn’t
The 3 stood up for God
Will you bow down to man or stand up for God
It is always better to be God rather than man

4. We must continue to hold on to the hope we profess

We have told others that Jesus heals - time to show our Hope
We have told others that our God is able - time to show our Hope
We have told others that if God is for us He is more than the world against us - time to show our Hope
We have told others that our hope is in Jesus - time to show our Hope
We are not those that cower but stand for Jesus

5. We must continue to meet together as a church

If we have faith and hope enough to go to the grocery store for natural sustenance why not have faith and hope to get to the house for spiritual sustenance
It is better to obey God
Planted in His House we flourish
We cannot stop meeting together
Don’t develop a quitting attitude about church
The church needs to shine bright during this time of crises
The church needs to shine bright always
The church needs to set the standard for confidence that this too shall pass
The church is where God bestows His blessing
Jesus is coming back for a healthy church not a hiding church
