Joruney to God: Challenges

Message taken from the book of Hebrews
-Sermon and Message from Rev. Anthony Co Hao


Road signs are basic guides that we should follow when driving. Ignoring these would lead motorists to danger and sometimes tragedy.

As Christians and passers-by here on earth, we should also be following a series of road signs to be able to safely reach our destination. We should be well-aware of the dangers that we may encounter along the way.

What are the dangers of Pilgrim Life?

I, Drifting (Hebrews 2:1)
This occurs to those who are careless and those who care less and less about God. This is associated to those people who are disinterested in growing in God.

Oftentimes, this happens slowly and by the time that you realize it, its already too late and you are already far away from God.


II, Doubting (Hebrews 3:12)
This usually occurs to those "spiritual spoiled brats" who already has everything and yet they were never contented -- they always want more!

A note: When you hear God's voice, do not harden you're heart but be grateful to God for everything that He has done in our lives.

In spite of being paralyzed neck down when she was young, Johnny Ericsson thanks God that she is still able to share God's Word and be an inspiration to every Christian.

III, Dullness (Hebrews 5:11)
This happens when people become lazy to learn and grow in their Christian life. A good illustration of this would be children not wanting to learn algebra but would settle to the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division because they feel that these basics are the only ones that they need in life.

When we hear God's Word and we learn something from church, we should apply it in our Christian life

IV, Disregarding (Hebrews 10:26, 35)
This is when we ignore what Jesus has done for us. It’s His sacrifice in the cross for our sins

We must not throw away our confidence - God - in our lives. We should be able to include Him in all aspects of our lives.


V, Denying (Hebrews 12:25)
Of all the dangers, this is considered to be the worst and this occurs when one declines, refuses or rejects God.
A lot of Christians in the Bible went far from God, but when God reached out to help them, they didn't refuse Him and they came back to Him.

Our journey here on earth will never be smooth all the way. Surely, there will be bumps and trials along the way. But, through following proper road signs and guidance from His Word, we will be able to reach our destination safely.
