Contagious
Can I really live outside my bubble?
Hebrews 10:19-25
1. Don’t be hesitant to ENTER with CONFIDENCE (Hebrews 10:19-21)
Without the BLOOD there is no FORGIVENESS
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ~ John 14:6
Your most powerful illustration of SALVATION is when your own personal EXPERIENCE with Jesus Christ has GENUINELY entered into forgiveness
“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.” ~General Douglas MacArthur
2. Being contagious in your FAITH, sets up opportunities that can change the trajectory of where you can go. ~Hebrews 10:22
FAITH and DRAWING NEAR to God are inseparable.
“Come near to God and he will draw near to you…” ~James 4:8
When you MOVE the marker it eliminates the EXCUSE of why someone else can’t do it.
Matthew 1:14-21
You have to be OK to be UNCOMFORTABLE in sharing your faith.
3. Hold tight to the confession of our HOPE.
Hebrews 10:23
Contagious believers ENTRUST Jesus with their tomorrow.
The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. ~ 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10
4. Your relationship with Christ becomes the LIGHT in someone else’s struggle. ~Hebrews 10:24-25
You need to take your EYES off yourself and THINK of others
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. ~Hebrews 3:13-14
Jesus is the KEY to a SUCCESSFUL RACE. And if we RUN AS HE INTENDED, we will BECOME CONTAGIOUS.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. ~ Hebrews 12:1-3
