North Platte Berean Church
Get Out of Jail Free Card
Christianity has a long history of being misunderstood, even by Christians! It's all too easy to make it about Jesus PLUS something (good works, moral living, religious activities, emotional experience…). But the book of Hebrews claims that when we add anything to Jesus, we're actually subtracting. It holds up Jesus Christ – fully God, fully human – as the promised Deliverer. He is the One who, alone, saves us from our sinfulness and restores our relationships with God, others, and creation. Its message, the message of Christianity, is really quite simple: Jesus Christ is enough!

Next Week's Sermon
In the same way that the Gospel cannot be reduced to a mere license or Get Out of Jail Free Card, so it is not a one-time decision that makes no change in our lives. Authentic faith forms the foundation of a life lived for God. Hebrews 11 is often called "The Faith Chapter" and we'll see example after example of people whose belief in God wasn't a one-time event, but the foundation of their entire lives.
