Hebrews: Working as Sons

Passage: Hebrews 13:1-6

Speaker: Sam Hodge

Series: Hebrews: Fulfilled in Christ

Category: Grace Brevard

Keywords: love, gospel

As Hebrews is wrapping up, the author applies the whole gospel by calling us to love the insider and the outsider in our everyday life.

Central Passage

1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say, 

“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
