Title: Living by Faith: Holding Fast Until the End Description: In this broadcast message presented by For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelley and June Volk conclude their week-long study of Hebrews 3:1–6, focusing on verse 6. They explore the core call for believers to "hold fast" to their confidence and hope in Jesus Messiah amid life's trials and cultural challenges. Highlighting believers as "living stones" forming the house of God built upon Christ as the cornerstone, the hosts unpack key biblical passages on endurance, perseverance, and maintaining a heavenly perspective.
