TWO MOUNTAINS 7-22-18
Hebrews 12:18-29
I. Mount Sinai Hebrews 12:18-22, Exodus 19:16
Deuteronomy 4:11-13
A. The Israelites thought it was terrifying. Verse 12:20 is quoted from Deuteronomy 5:23-24
Deuteronomy 5:23-24 (NKJV) 23 “So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.”
Exodus 19:12-13 (NKJV) 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
Exodus 19:19 (NKJV) 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
B. Even Moses was terrified: Verse 12:20 was quoted from Deuteronomy 9:19
Deuteronomy 9:19 (NKJV) 19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lordwas angry with you, to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me at that time also.
II. Mount Zion Hebrews 12:23-29
Galatians 3:10-12 (NKJV) 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is [a]justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
A. Zion Isaiah 46:13
Psalm 132:13-14 (NKJV) 13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His [a]dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Zechariah 2:10 (NKJV) 10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord.
B. Heavenly City Revelation 21:1-22:5
Revelation 21:1 -2; 10 (NKJV) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the [a]great city, the [b]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
III. Warnings Hebrews 12:25
A. Verse 27 is a quote from Haggai 2:6
Haggai 2:6 (NKJV) 6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
2 Peter 3:10-13 (NKJV) 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [a]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

WHERE WE LIVE Hebrews 13:1-6 7-29-18
I. BROTHERLY LOVE---v.1 I John 4:1-11
John 13:34-35 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
1 John 4:8 (NKJV) 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
II. ENTERTAINMENT---v.2 Genesis 18:1-3, Genesis 9:1-2, Judges 6:11-24; 13:15-16
Galatians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
III. IDENTIFY WITH THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS---v.3 Galatians 6:2
Romans 12:15 (NKJV) 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
IV. MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE---v.4
Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be [a] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
V. COVETOUSNESS---v.5 I Timothy 3:3
1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
VI. BE CONTENT---v.6
Philippians 4:10-19 (NKJV) 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to [b]be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 118:6 (NKJV) 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

John 15: (NKJV) 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
2 Timothy 3:12 (NKJV) 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
III. IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS v. 15-16
1 Peter 4:14-16 (NKJV) 14 If you are [a]reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [b]On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a [c]busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this [d]matter.

James 1:12-14 (NKJV) 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
B. All are tempted—nothing new
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Luke 6:27 (NKJV) 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Luke 6:28 (NKJV) 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
Luke 6:32-36 (NKJV) 32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, [a]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Gen 49:9 - Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
Gen 49:10 - The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.

And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,”
B. Misuse of Scripture
John 5:39-40 (NKJV) 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.

For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
C. Word Not To Be Changed John 19:28
Matthew 5:17-20 (NKJV) 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one [a]jot or one [b]tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Luke 24:27 (NKJV) 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He [a]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. 32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

C. Don’t leave home without it
