Let Mutual Love Continue

This is the final in a three-weeks sermon series on passages from the Letter (sermon) to the Hebrews. In Hebrews the “preacher” is encouraging a congregation that seems to be tired, and today the preacher brings the sermon to a close by explaining how keeping the faith means living the faith, and he includes step-by-step instructions. First, “let mutual love continue” by loving one another within the congregation. Then show hospitality to strangers, welcoming new people into the community and being open to strangers. He then says (to them and to us) to remember those who are suffering, whether they are within our church community or not. The preacher then focuses on our own homes saying to honor the marriage, a caution to live out the love of God to those closest to us. Then he warns us not to fall in love with money but to be content with what we have.
