HEBREËRS 9:4

John’s final vision in the book of Revelation presents an exciting prospect for believers. Life on the new earth will be more productive, imaginative, joyous, and harmonious. The world revealed to him has a complex life of commerce and beauty, with no floating in clouds or playing harps. Are you looking forward to that day? In this series, we will explore God’s exciting plan for his children.

Whether it's the TV in the background or the constant pinging on our phones, the noise and pace of modern life can be overwhelming. The cacophony of messages that permeate our culture produces an inner restlessness that says, “You should be doing more, saying more, and posting more.” In this 5-day plan, Denise J. Hughes offers readers an introduction to the “quiet life” that Paul discusses in 1 Thessalonians.

We read in God’s Word that without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness. And obedience is better than sacrifice. The manifestation of these words play out when Jesus’ obedience led to the shedding of His blood and the ultimate sacrifice is made – for us! This is Plan Five of Nine of the book of Hebrews where we see that although salvation is free for us, there was a great cost that Jesus paid. 

Leaders get into trouble because they neglect fundamental truths and basic spiritual disciplines. God did not just call us to start the race, He wants us to finish well. Our success or failure as leaders will be determined by how well we executed the basics of the Christian life. The example and the legacy you leave sets the pace for a new generation of champions, impacting the world for Jesus.
