Hebrews 13:18-25 - Powerful Perseverance

Join Pastor Jonathan through an expositional sermon series through Hebrews. Sermon Notes: ➡️ I. Embrace the Power of Prayer (18-19) Why Should We Ask for Prayer Regularly? 1 - God isn’t limited by time or power. He can answer your prayer request without taking time from someone else. He is limitless. He doesn’t have a finite amount of time or energy to carry out hearing and answering prayers! 2 - We must understand our complete helplessness apart from God. The author here knows that he has no abilities apart from God. If God doesn’t come through, his work will never be accomplished. A clear conscience involves having integrity between yourself and God and yourself and others. There are things that happen because of the prayers of the saints. Though God is sovereign, He uses our prayers in His sovereign purpose. Scripture References: Matthew 7:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Philippians 4:6-7, Hebrews 10:22, 1 John 5:14-15 ➡️ II.
