The writer of Hebrews wants the church to be aware of the danger that exists in coming up short.  Only true Christians will enter into God's rest.  A true Christian, as described in Scripture, is one who knows Jesus Christ and obeys His Word.  The knowing is proven by the obedience to His Word.The importance of be part of Believers' community (church) for the support in praying, fellowship, and if needed, church discipline to build one another in faith. The Word of God is powerful that can penetrate the heart of a sinner into transforming into a new creation in Christ. America have forgotten the importance to be part of the church (Christ's Body) nowadays. The sermon conducted in American Sign Language (ASL) by Deaf Pastor Jeremiah Ziehr.
