"Battling Spiritual Sluggishness"Mini-SeriesBy Pastor Kevin Dibbley
Sunday, March 31st
This Sunday’s message is called “Slugging It out With Sluggishness”. Some battles aren’t worth fighting. But some are! The writer to the Hebrews is fighting to light a fire under these Christians because this battle is for their joy and salvation. Sluggish Christians are easily disheartened and discouraged.Christians who are determined to know God are more likely to be Christians who delight in God. Christians who are willing to wrestle with God are more likely to be Christians who rest in God. Pray that God would use this Sunday’s message to light a fire in our hearts to know God better.

"Battling Spiritual Sluggishness"Mini-SeriesBy Pastor Kevin Dibbley
Sunday, March 24th
It is easy to grow distant from God's people. It is not uncommon for Christians to become discouraged with the church. The reason that the writer to the Hebrews exhorts them to grow deeper in their knowledge of God is because that will inevitably lead them to grow deeper in their devotion to one another as his church. Come this Sunday as we consider the final message in our series: Battling Spiritual Sluggishness. This message is called: Loving God’s Name, Loving God’s People.

For every Christian, there is the challenge of considering whether we functionally believe in our lives what we actually confess with our lips. One of the great truths of our confession as believers is that Christ is risen from the dead and He is reigning on high. One area of our lives that this transforms is our prayer lives. There out to be a holy boldness about our prayer lives. In Hebrews 4:14-16, this Sunday we are going to reflect on the encouragement for every Christian to “Come Boldly To the Throne of Grace.”

A couple of things about this Sunday: it’s supposed to jump up into the 40’s after this deep freeze! That’s good news. But more importantly, we are going to look at great great great news. The Father has appointed the Son to plead for us! If you want read Hebrews 5:1-10 in preparation and as you do, just think about why God appointed Jesus to be our high priest. It will do your heart and mind much good to realize that how He pleaded for Himself, Jesus now pleads for you and me. Our sermon is called: God’s man for the job.

"His Promise Still Stands" - Hebrews 4: 1-13By Pastor Kevin Dibbley
This Sunday, we are going to be taking a look at Hebrews 4:1-13. Our message is called"His Promise Still Stands". Every living follower of Christ stands at the edge of eternity. Before us is the promise of entering God’s great eternal rest. Between us and our eternal goal are perceived “giants” in the land. What the writer to the Hebrews warns us is that the giant that we have to fear is not outside us, but inside us. The battle is a battle of faith versus unbelief. Let’s pray and consider this crucial truth together.

What to Expect this Sunday
"Watching Over Your Heart" - Hebrews 3By Pastor Kevin Dibbley
This Sunday, we are going to look at one of the most basic and yet absolutely critical parts of the Christian life – Watching over your heart. Most of the time, our temptation is to be focused on what is happening around us or to us. The circumstances of our lives consume our attention and can fuel our anxieties. What Hebrews 3 will teach us is that it is what is happening in our hearts is what matters most. The enemy wants us to focus outwardly and test God. The Lord calls us to look inwardly and trust God. Let’s pray over our hearts and listen to God’s word together.

Based on Colossians 1:9-14
“Because of this, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding His spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light.
For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Col 1:9-14 NIV)

In a paper given at the Oxford Socratic Club, CS Lewis made his famous quote: “I believe in Christianityas I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else.” Theglory of Christmas is that, as Isaiah 9:2 states “The people who walked in darkness have seen a greatlight; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness on them a light has shone.” This Sunday atWaterbrooke, we will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the entrance of the One true light into the midstof darkness, the hope of the world into our despair, the One who gives light and life to all who trust inHim. We, of all people, ought to sing and to celebrate, to rejoice and to worship. Let’s gather as aredeemed family and sing His the praises of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ and celebrate the life-giving Light of the world.

This Sunday, we are going to consider just one verse, Hebrews 2:17. The message is entitled: Bringing Back His Brothers. This verse reveals just how stunning the coming of the Messiah was. When humanity found itself entangled in a world full of misery, God overflowed with heart full of mercy. When God called for someone to step up to save His people, His Son stepped down into our broken world.

This Sunday, we will be considering together Hebrews 2:18. The message is entitled: Help When Its Hardest. The message of Christmas, the story of the incarnation of the Son of God, is an invasion of mercy into a world of misery. It is not a cute sentimental story. It directly answers life’s toughest questions. It meets us and ministers to us when life blows harsh and cold. Come as we rejoice in a Savior who came to help us when life is hardest.

This Sunday, we will begin our Christmas reflections as we continue our study of Hebrews 2. Our message, entitled Born to Set Thy People Free, is taken from 2:14-16. Fear and anxiety are commonplace in our culture. What we will see is that this is not new or accidental. It is the strategy of Satan to keep people locked into a fear of death. Christ came to bring this cruelty to an end by doing the only thing that could silence Satan and save us - to die in our place. Come as we think about the freedom that is ours because of the coming of Christ as a human being.

This Sunday’s message is entitled “Not Ashamed to Call Us His Brethren.”The stunning news of the gospel is the incredible humble and gracious work of Christ on our behalf. He champions our cause and makes certain our salvation even though the path to glory goes straight through the misery of the cross. This week, we will look at the glory that belongs to us all because Jesus was willing to make a way to blaze the trail through suffering.

This Sunday, November 11th , we will be looking at this staggering truth about how much God cares about His children. When we struggle, the questions that come to our minds are often: “Where are you, God? Do you care, God? Do you even know what I am going through?” If you want to prepare ahead, read Hebrews 2:5-9 and Psalm 8. The answer is that not only does God think of us, but incredibly He has destined us to share in His glory. Destined for Glory is the title of Sunday’s message and its great news for God’s family.

This Sunday, we studied Hebrews 2:1-4. The message is called The Danger of Drifting. The reality for Christians is that living in the world always produces a challenge to our faith. The current of culture always flows steadily away from trusting Christ and remaining faithful to the Lord. Without careful attention to the truth of Christ, we will always be in peril. Thank God for the power and wisdom of His Word and the faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ!

This Sunday, we will dive into chapter one and the incredible reality that God has spoken in the clearest and most seriously loving way that He possibly could – By His Son. That’s the title of the sermon. By His Son is the phrase that gives every Christian great assurance and joy. By His Son is the phrase that gives every believer sobriety and reverence. The most significant fact in your life and my life is that God’s Son has spoken. It is God’s chief concern and it has to beyours and mine.

“In Christ, we do not fight for victory; we fight from victory.” HB Charles, Jr.Living the Christian life is a struggle. There is never a neutral moment. The call of Christ is to deny ourselves, to take up our cross daily and to follow Him. Left to ourselves, we easily grow weary and lose heart. This Sunday, we will begin a study of the Book of Hebrews. The author clearly calls Christians to the task of collective ncouragement to run the race to the finish line. Encourage, encourage, encourage! We need it from one another daily. We can find it here in God’s Word. As we begin this study, we will take an overview of this great letter and see that despite the perils that have always faced Christians, we have a solid hope for preserving today and for all eternity.
