Sermon Summary: This sermon concludes a series on the book of Hebrews, emphasizing the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus as we live out our faith. The preacher explores five key commands from Hebrews 13, urging believers to love one another, show hospitality to strangers, remember prisoners, honor marriage, and be content with what they have. These instructions are framed within the context of God's grace and the understanding that Christians are "strangers and pilgrims" in this world, often at odds with prevailing social norms.
Key Points:
- Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters
- Show hospitality to strangers
- Remember those in prison and who are mistreated
- Honor marriage and keep the marriage bed pure
- Keep lives free from the love of money and be content
- Christians are called to live differently from the prevailing culture
- God's grace empowers believers to live out these commands
- Believers should recognize the inherent dignity of all people as image-bearers of God
