Don't Drift Away

v. 1- Listen to the Word of God.  Don’t drift away.  It is likely that we know people who once shared in the Christian fellowship and are doing so no longer, not because they outright rejected the message of Christian faith, but rather they just ‘drifted away’ from the faith.  V. 3 – Now there’s a good question to make us sit up and listen!  V. 4 – Observe how many ways the Lord has confirmed His message to us.  V. 9 – Is it your experience that you acknowledge Jesus fully as the Son of God and your Savior?  How do you attempt to do that?  v. 10 – Tasting death for everyone.  Pause to visualize the Christ on the Cross.  V. 11 – Can you believe that?  What, you ask?  Jesus is not ashamed to call them brother and sister.  V. 15 – The concern: that people are living their lives in the fear of dying and death.  Do I fear dying/death?  If so, why?  V. 18 – Because of the testing and the suffering by Jesus, He is able to help us.  Pause, and thank Him.
