Text: Hebrews 10:35-37

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.”

Introduction: Do you ever feel like “GIVING UP”? We’re not home yet! God is not finished with you. God reminds us through Paul (I believe the author – inspired by Holy Spirit), do not go BACKWARD but PRESS FORWARD to maturity in Christ. There are (3) ways to PRESS on:
 
1. Don’t give up your “CONFIDENCE”! (Heb 10:35)
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.”
 
• Some things NEED TO be thrown away – clutter
• Some things DO NOT need to be thrown away- “confidence” (par-rhay-see-ah, which means freedom, boldness)
• Pay back on the way – rewards
 
2. Don’t forget to hold on to “PATIENCE”! (Heb 10:36)
” For ye have need of PATIENCE, that after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.”
 
• To know the will of God -“PATIENCE” (hupomene – means endurance, steadfastness, to remain under)
• To do the will of God
 
3. Remember, JESUS is coming soon! (Heb 10:37)
” For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
 
• Keep Looking Up
• Keep Looking Out
 
Conclusion: It is easy to get discouraged theses days. Constant focus on “The BIG picture” – God’s purpose and plan – will keep us motivated to not GO BACK but to PRESS ON loving, serving, and waiting for JESUS to come again. That will be worth it all!
 
PRESS ON!!
Love y’all ,

Text: James 5:7-11

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

Introduction: Have you ever felt like QUITTING? On overcoming sinful habits? On life? On God? On His will for your life? How can we be PATIENT in an IMPATIENT world? There are (3) ways to see if we are losers or winners:
 
1. Do we have the JITTERS? Or are you CALM (v.7-8)?
“Be patient… unto the coming of the Lord.”
 
2. Are we HOT-HEADED? Or COOL and COLLECTIVE (v.9)?
“Grudge not one against another, brethren… the judge stands at the door.”
 
3. Are we QUITTERS or WINNERS (v. 10-11)? 
“The prophets… example of SUFFERING AFFLICTION and patience… happy which ENDURE!”
 
Conclusion: Pass the PATIENCE please! One of the delicious flavors of the indwelling Holy Spirit (1 of 9) is PATIENCE (longsuffering, endurance – Gal. 5:22-23). Remember LOSERS QUIT! And WINNERS ENDURE!! Instead of GIVING UP… and GIVING IN, keep on GIVING OUT!
 
Love y’all,
Dr. Randy Reese
