Weaponizing the Sweetness of our First Season of Grace

The pastor/writer of the letter to the Hebrews has been working overtime to convince these Christians to stick with Jesus and His gospel in the face of serious temptation to bail. In chapter 10 we see him imploring them to look back at that first season of grace and remember how sincere and unshakeable their conviction was. They suffered, their friends suffered, and they EVEN HAD THEIR HARD-EARNED STUFF WRONGFULLY CONFISCATED ... and none of it shook them an inch because none of it compared the surpassing worth of having Christ. In this sermon we talk about how God gives us seasons of unmistakable conviction and sweetness to carry us through dryer, harder times.
