Hebrews 11: Even When I Don’t See, I Still Believe

 

Even When I Don’t See, I Still Believe

Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

As I read Hebrews 11, I find myself reflecting on what it really means to have faith.
Sometimes, we say we trust God because we believe He can do the impossible. But I realize that faith is not only believing that God can do something; it is also trusting Him when we don’t see anything happening yet.

Hebrews 11 tells us about people who chose to trust God even when the future was uncertain.

Abraham obeyed God without knowing where he was going.

Noah built an ark even before the rain came. 

Moses chose God’s purpose over the temporary comforts of Egypt.

Imagine obeying God without knowing what comes next.
Imagine holding on to a promise when there is no visible sign that it will happen.
Yet they believed. Not because they knew how everything would turn out, but because they knew the God they were trusting.

And this speaks to me personally.
There are moments when trusting God feels easy, especially when prayers are answered and things fall into place. 
But what about those moments when we are still waiting?

When we pray for healing, but the situation remains uncertain? 

When we ask God for direction, but the next step is still unclear?

 When we keep believing for something, yet nothing seems to change?

Honestly, waiting is not always easy. There are times when we have questions, when our hearts grow weary, and when we want God would simply show us what lies ahead.

But Hebrews 11 reminds me that faith does not always mean seeing the fulfillment of what we are praying for. Some of the people in this chapter experienced great victories, while others went through suffering, persecution, and even death. Yet they continued to believe.
That truth reminds me that faith is not about getting the outcome we want. It is about remaining faithful to God, even when the outcome is different from what we hoped for.

Mga kapatid, having faith doesn’t mean we will never feel afraid, discouraged, or tired. We are human, and there are moments when our hearts become heavy. But even in those moments, we can choose to bring our fears to God instead of allowing them to take away our trust in Him.

As I continue my own journey of faith and service to the Lord, I am reminded that I don’t need to understand everything before I obey. I don’t need to see the whole road before taking the next step. I just need to keep trusting the One who is leading me.

Maybe some of us are carrying unanswered prayers today. May naghihintay ng healing, restoration, provision, or breakthrough. Some may be going through battles that other people don’t even know about.

Whatever season you are in, I pray that you will not allow what you cannot see to make you forget the God you already know.


Let’s keep trusting Him, even in the waiting.
Let’s continue serving Him, even when life is not easy. 
And let’s not measure His faithfulness by how quickly our prayers are answered.
Because the truth is, God remains faithful even when we don’t yet see what He is doing.
And this is what I want to hold on to:

I may not see the answer yet. 
I may not understand the process.
I may even have moments when I don’t know what to pray for anymore. 

Whatever tomorrow may bring, I choose to keep trusting Him. He has been faithful through every season, and I know He will remain faithful. I may not know what lies ahead, but I know the One who walks with me every step of the way is FAITHFUL.

Lord, even when I don’t see, help me to keep believing. ❤️

Hebrews 10: DRAW NEAR TO GOD

 

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

This verse encourages us to draw near to God to come close to Him. We are not suppose to stay far or hide from Him. We can always come to Him to know Him and to be truly near Him.

With a sincere heart. God is not looking for a perfect heart. He is looking for an honest heart. In whatever situation you might be. Tired, confused, guilty, or doubting, you can come to Him as you are. Our God is a faithful God we can always depend on Him as this verse says “wecome to Him with the full assurance that faith brings”.

Also, we are reminded today that we are now completely washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ, our thoughts our actions, our body, our whole being. And since we are already cleansed, we should no longer return to our old sinful ways.

Come close. Come honestly. Come confidently. Come clean.
You don’t need to clean yourself up first before you come. You come because you have been made clean by the blood of Jesus.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for calling us to draw near to You despite us being sinners. Thank You for sacrificing Your own blood to cleanse us. We come with a sincere heart. We surrender to you our fears, our failures, our doubts, our tiredness. We give it all to You. Thank You for reminding us that our confidence is not in what we have done, but in what You have already done for us. So here we are Father we come to You and we put our confidence in You.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.🙏🏼

Hebrews 9: Cleansed by the Blood of Christ to Serve the Living God

 

Hebrews 9:14

*Cleansed by the Blood of Christ to Serve the Living God*

1. Scripture – Hebrews 9:14 (NKJV)

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

1. Observation – What does the Scripture teach me?

Hebrews 9:14 reminds us of the power and sufficiency of the blood of Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament, the blood of animals was used for ceremonial cleansing, but it could not fully cleanse the human conscience from sin. Jesus offered Himself as the perfect and spotless sacrifice once and for all.

This verse reveals three important truths:

* The blood of Jesus cleanses us. His sacrifice removes the guilt and condemnation of sin.
* Our conscience is made clean. God does not only change our outward behaviour; He transforms our hearts from within.
* We are cleansed to serve God. Salvation is not only about being forgiven but also about living a life devoted to the Lord.

God cleanses us not so that we can continue living in sin, but so that we can serve Him with a pure heart.

3. Application – How Can We Apply This to Our Lives?

• Let us not allow our past mistakes and sins to define who we are, because through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have received forgiveness and a new identity in Him.
• Let us continually examine our hearts and repent whenever sin influences our thoughts, words, and actions.
• Let us not serve God merely out of religious obligation, but with genuine love, gratitude, humility, and obedience.
• Let us remember that we are cleansed for a purpose—not simply to receive forgiveness, but to serve and glorify the living God.

Church, let us examine our hearts. Are we serving God with a clean heart, or are we simply performing religious activities?

Sometimes, even after receiving God’s forgiveness, we continue carrying the guilt and burdens of our past. But Hebrews 9:14 reminds us that the blood of Jesus is powerful enough to cleanse our conscience.

Therefore, let us no longer live in condemnation or allow our past to hold us back. We are not serving God to earn His forgiveness; we serve Him because we have already received His grace.

Church, let us live with grateful hearts, walk in holiness, and serve the Lord with sincerity. We have been cleansed by His blood, and we have been given a purpose: to serve the living God! 4. Prayer –

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the precious blood of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Thank You for Your amazing grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

Lord, cleanse our hearts and consciences from every sin, guilt, and anything that hinders our relationship with You. Forgive us for the times we have served You with the wrong motives or simply out of religious obligation.

Father, teach us to live with pure hearts, renewed minds, and willing spirits. May our words, actions, decisions, and daily lives become an offering of worship that brings glory to Your name.

Remind us, Lord, that we are not only saved from sin but also saved for a purpose to serve the living God. May we serve You not out of fear or obligation, but with genuine love, gratitude, faithfulness, and obedience.

Let our congregation become a testimony of Your grace, love, and transforming power. May our lives reflect the holiness of Christ, and may everything we do bring honor and glory to You.

We declare that we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus, restored by His grace, and called to serve You faithfully.

In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Church, let us remember this:

“We are cleansed by the blood of Jesus, not merely to escape condemnation, but to live a life that serves and glorifies the living God.”

We are not cleansed to remain idle; we are cleansed to serve. We are not forgiven to return to our old ways; we are forgiven to walk in a new life with Christ.

Our forgiveness has a purpose, our cleansing has a purpose, and that purpose is to glorify God through our lives.

Let us therefore serve the Lord with clean hearts, grateful spirits, and faithful hands!

Hebrews 4: While Rest still Stand Today!

 

While Rest still Stand Today!

 

“[1] Now the promise of entering into God’s rest is still for us today. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it. ”

Hebrews 4:1

----------------

The door is still open.  The promise has not expired.

1. While Rest Still Stands Today, Share the Faith of Those Who Obeyed. (v. 2)

Israel Heard about deliverance, heard about Promised Land ngunit hindi nila ito pinanampalatayanan.

While in the wilderness, they never fail to complain, to turn their back to God. Those people na lumabas sa Egypt na generation we weren't able to enter the promised land the rest. Except Joshua and Caleb who experienced the rest because they believed and obeyed.

Sinugo sila kasama ng 10 spies upang mag spy sa Promised Land. All of them saw the same giants, same na naglalakihang pader ngunit ang pinagkaiba nila ay ang kanilang FAITH. The 10 died in the wilderness because they heard but did not mix what they heard with faith and obedience.

Today, two people sit in the same church, hear the same sermon about God's provision. One goes home worried, still trying to control everything, still restless. The other goes home peaceful, trusting that God will provide for the tuition, for the bills, for the application. The difference is not the message — it's the faith that receives it.

Rest does not come by just hearing about God. It comes by trusting and obeying what He said.

“[22] But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ”

James 1:22 ESV

 

2. While Rest Still Stands Today, Hear His Voice — Do Not Harden Your Hearts (v. 6-7)

 God is still speaking today— not yesterday, not tomorrow. Today. But many of us have hardened hearts. Not because God stopped speaking, but because we stopped listening.

Like Pharaoh, God spoke to him again and again through Moses "Let my people go." Every time Pharaoh hardened his heart, his burden became heavier. The more he resisted, the more restless his kingdom became. Hardness never brings rest, it brings bondage.

 Today, God whispers, "Forgive."

You say, "Not yet, they don't deserve it."

You stay restless.

God whispers, "Surrender your anxiety.

 You say, "I need to figure this out first." You stay sleepless.

God whispers, " Let go"

You say, " I can't". You stay stuck.

 Rest is not the absence of problems. Rest is the presence of trust in the middle of problems.

The promise is still standing TODAY. Don't just hear about rest — enter it. Share the faith of those who obeyed, and hear His voice before your heart grows hard.

Today, He is calling you to rest.

Do not hesitate.

Do not doubt.

Enter the Rest.

 Remember:

 “[14] Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Hebrews 4:14-16

HEBREO 7: THE KING AND HIGH PRIEST

 

THE KING AND HIGH PRIEST

HEBREO 7

 Hebrew 7 is all about Melquisedec and Jesus, that they both have the same job as a King and priest at the same. But, who is Melquisedec and who is Jesus? What are their similarities and distinction?

 Melquisedec, he is the king of Salem and high priest of God in old testament. His name came from the Hebrew word, Malki-Tzedek, na ang ibig sabihin ay “Hari ng Katuwiran.” Ang Salem ay ang lumang pangalan ng Jerusalem, na nangangahulugang “Kapayapaan.” Kaya siya rin ay tinawag na “Hari ng Kapayapaan.” But, according sa verse 3, “Walang nababanggit tungkol sa kanyang ama at ina, o sa angkang pinagmulan niya. Hindi rin natala ang kanyang kapanganakan o kamatayan. Tulad ng Anak ng Diyos, siya’y pari magpakailanman.”

 So, there are theories about him and some of it are the following:

 l  Kung pag babasehan ang historical view, isa siyang tynay na hari ng Canaan noong panahon ni Abraham na sumasamba sa nag-iisa at tunay na Diyos, kahit napapaligiran siya ng mga paganong bansa.

l  Kung sa Jewish tradition, siya raw si Shem na anak ni Noe o mas kilala bilang ang matuwid na anak ni Noe. Ayon sa tala ng edad sa Genesis, buhay pa si Shem noong panahon ni Abraham at siya ang pinakamatandang nakakaalam tungkol sa tunay na Diyos.

l  Kung sa theological view naman, ito raw ay isang Christophany. May naniniwalang si Melquisedec ay isang maagang pagpapakita ni Hesu-Kristo sa Lumang Tipan bago pa Siya ipanganak bilang tao, dahil sabi sa Hebreo 3 na siya ay walang simula ng mga araw o katapusan ng buhay.

 Anuman ang kaniyang pinagmulan, ginamit ng Diyos si Melquisedec bilang anino o larawan (foreshadowing) ni Hesus. Ipinakita niya na posible ang isang pinuno na sabay na maghahari at maging tagapamagitan ng Diyos. At dahil nagbigay si Abraham ng ikapu o tithe kay Melquisedec at binasbasan siya nito na makikita sa verse 4; ipinakita nito ang pagkapari ni Melquisedec (at ni Hesus) ay mas mataas kaysa sa lahi ng mga paring Levita na nagmula pa lang kay Abraham.

 Pero ano nga ba punong pari at ano ang trabaho ng punong pari sa Lumang Tipan? Ang punong pari ang pinakamataas sa pinunong espirituwal at kinatawan ng buong bansang Israel sa harap ng Diyos. Sabi sa Hebreo 5:1, “Ang bawat punong pari ay pinili mula sa mga tao at inilagay sa ganoong tungkulin upang maglingkod sa Diyos para sa mga tao. Siya ang nag-aalay ng mga kaloob at mga handog para mapatawad ang mga kasalanan.” Ayon naman sa verse 3 ng chapter 5, “At dahil sa kaniyang kahinaan, kinakailangan siya’y mag-alay ng handog, hindi lamang para sa kasalanan ng iba, kundi para rin sa kaniyang sarili.” At sabi sa chapter 7:23, “Bukod dito, kailangan noon ang maraming pari dahil namamatay sila at hindi nakakapagpatuloy sa panunungkulan.”

So, dito na papasok si Hesus bilang Pinakapunong pari sa Bagong Tipan dahil siya ang gumawa ng pinakamataas at permanenteng paraan upang makalapit ang tao sa Diyos.

 l  Ngunit sa ilalim ng kautusan ni Moises, ang sinumang magiging pari ay dapat magmula lamang sa tribo ni Levi (ang lahi ni Aaron). Si Hesus ay ipinangank sa tribo Juda, ang tribo ng mga hari gaya ni Haring David. Wala ni isa sa tribo ni Juda ang nagsilbi sa altar bilang pari. Kaya upang maging legal ang pagkapari ni Hesus sa mata ng Diyos, kinailangan ng ibang uri ng pagkapari na hindi nakabase sa lahi ni Levi. Ito ang pagkapari ni Melquisedec.

 l  Sa lumang batas ng Israel, mahigpit na magkahiwalay ang trabaho ng Hari (mula sa Juda) at ng Pari (mula sa Levi). Bawal ang isang hari na gumanap bilang pari. Ngunit si Melquisedec ay sabay na Hari ng Salem at Pari ng Diyos. Dahil si Hesus ay ayon sa orden ni Melquisedec, nagawa Niyang pagsamahin ang dalawang tungkulin: Siya ang Hari na namamahala sa atin at ang Punong Pari na namamagitan at nagliligtas sa atin.

 l  Hebreo 7:21, “ngunit nanumpa siya nang gawin niayng pari si Jesus, ayon sa sinabi niya, ‘Ang Panginoon ay sumumpa, at hindi siya magbabago ng isip, Ikaw ang Pari magpakailanman!” Amen! Gaya ng punong pari sa Old Testament ay Siya rin ang namagitan between God and the humanity. That is why, sabi sa John 14:6, “Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

 l   Inihandog Niya ang Kaniyang sarili upang tayo ay malinis at maligtas sa ating kasalanan. Dati diba, ang mga hinahandog lamang ay mga tupang malinis at walang kapintasan. That is why Jesus is called the Lamb of God, dahil Siya na ang huling tupang inalay para sa sangkatauhan. Ayon sa John 1:29, “Tingnan niyo, Siya ang Kordero ng Diyos na nag-aalis ng kasalanan ng sanlibutan.” Because we can’t clean ourselves from our sins kahit na gumawa pa tayo ng mabuting gawa, hindi tayo maliligtas niyan. It is through repentance na kapag humingi tayo ng kapatawaran sa Diyos at tinanggap natin Siya bilang ating Diyos at Tagapag-ligtas ay tayo’y maliligtas. Mas maswerte nga tayo ngayon dahil pwede na tayong lumapit directly sa Diyos at hindi na tayo maghahandog para lang tayo ay malinis at mapatawad sa ating kasalanan. We will just accept Jesus Christ in our life and allow the Holy Spirit to control us.

 l  Ayon naman sa verse 24, “Ngunit si Hesus ay buhay magpakailanman, kaya’t walang katapusan ang kaniyang pagkapari.” Kaya naman natatamasa natin ngayon ang kapatawaran dahil sa pagtanggap natin sa Panginoong Hesus at hindi lang tayo ang makikinabang kundi ang mga susunod pang henerasiyon. Lubusan Niyang maliligtas ang lumalapit sa Diyos sa pamamagitan Niya. Kaya hindi na kailangang palitan ang Kaniyang pagkapari kailanman.

 Sa madaling salita, ginamit ng Diyos ang halimbawa ni Melquisedec upang patunayan na bago pa man itatag ang sistema ng mga pari sa Lumang Tipan, may nakahanda nang mas mataas at permanenteng plano ang Diyos para iligtas ang tao sa pamamagitan ni Hesus.

 AMEN.

GLORY TO GOD.

Hebrews 8: God’s Covenant Written in the Heart

 

God’s Covenant Written in the Heart

Hebrews 8:10–12 (World English Bible)

10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says the Lord: "I will put my laws into their mind, and on their heart I will also write them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

11 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."

OBSERVATION:  

The new covenant is not merely about following religious rules externally. God promises an intimate relationship where His Word is written in the hearts and minds of His people. Through Christ, believers can personally know God, experience His mercy, and walk in the assurance that their sins are forgiven.

This passage reveals three beautiful promises:

1.      God's Word is Written Within Us

God transforms us from the inside out. Obedience becomes the result of a changed heart rather than mere outward duty. Ezekiel 36:26–27 says, "I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes; and you will keep my ordinances, and do them."

2. God Desires a Personal Relationship With His People

The Lord wants every believer, regardless of status or background, to know Him personally. John 17:3 states, "This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ."

3. God's Mercy Removes the Guilt of Sin

Because of Christ's sacrifice, God extends complete forgiveness to those who trust in Him. Psalm 103:12 -"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."

The new covenant is founded on God's grace. He changes our hearts, invites us into a personal relationship with Him, and grants complete forgiveness through Jesus Christ. What God writes on the heart becomes evident in the life.

APPLICATION:

1. Allow God's Word to Shape Your Heart Daily

Spend time reading, meditating on, and obeying God's Word so that His truth becomes your guide in every decision. Psalm 119:11 says "I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."

2. Pursue an Intimate Relationship With God

Do not settle for knowing about God. Seek to truly know Him through prayer, worship, and daily fellowship. James 4:8 states "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."

3. Walk in the Freedom of God's Forgiveness

Stop living under the burden of past failures. When God forgives, He does not hold our sins against us. Live confidently as one who has been redeemed and made new in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."

Personal Application

Today, I will allow God's Word to govern my thoughts and actions. I will intentionally seek His presence, not merely His blessings. I will also choose to walk in the confidence of His mercy, knowing that through Jesus Christ my sins have been forgiven and remembered no more. As a child of the New Covenant, I belong to God, and He is my God forever.

PRAYER:  

HALLELUJAH! Heavenly Father, thank You for the new covenant established through Jesus Christ. Thank You for writing Your Word upon my heart and placing Your truth within my mind. Help me to live according to Your will, not out of obligation, but from a heart that loves and obeys You.

Teach me to know You more deeply each day. Draw me closer to Your presence and strengthen my faith so that I may walk in obedience and trust. Thank You for Your mercy and for forgiving my sins through the precious blood of Jesus. Help me to live in the freedom and assurance of Your grace.

I also lift up the entire JCRC family to You. May every member grow in the knowledge of Christ, remain faithful to Your Word, and experience the transforming power of Your Spirit. Unite us in love, strengthen us in faith, and use us as instruments of Your glory and kingdom. May our hearts continually be devoted to You, and may our lives reflect the beauty of Your new covenant, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Hebrews 3 Listen to the voice of LORD, and don’t harden your heart against Him

 

Hebrews 3

Listen to the voice of LORD, and don’t harden your heart against Him

Heb 3:7 So then, as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today,8 do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God, as they were that day in the desert when they put him to the test.  9 There they put me to the test and tried me, says God, although they had seen what I did for forty years.  10 And so I was angry with those people and said, 'They are always disloyal and refuse to obey my commands. 11 I was angry and made a solemn promise: 'They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest!"

Heb 3:15 This is what the scripture says: "If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God." 

Heb 3:18 When God made his solemn promise, "They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest"—of whom was he speaking? Of those who rebelled. 19 We see, then, that they were not able to enter the land, because they did not believe. 

The warning God gave to the Hebrews is a stern one, but it is given from a place of deep love: Do not be stubborn, do not harden your hearts, do not disobey my commands… Why? Because if we do, we will not be able to enter the place of rest that God promise us, when we obey Him and yield to His ways.

Things that harden our hearts if left unchecked and undealt with are: Rebellion, Unforgiveness, Envy, Selfishness, Arrogance, Pride, Sexual sin, Dishonesty to name only a few.

Beloved child of God our sinful nature wants to rebel against God. In our own strength we cannot overcome these things and we really need to humble ourselves, ask the Holy Spirit to help us overcome the areas in our lives where we struggle with sin.

When you stumble (all of us do) come before the Lord in Prayer with humility, ask forgiveness. Be like David who poured out his heart in sorrow before God and asked for forgiveness of his sins in Psalm 51. The Lord is true to His Word and just to forgive us our sins. The Lord will not despise a broken and repentant heart (Ps 52:17).

Prayer

Father God, by the power of our Holy Spirt help us to walk in humility so that our hearts will not rebel against you and be hardened. Create in us a clean heart oh Lord, renew a right spirit within us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and make us willing to obey you. We praise you Lord and all honour and glory belong to you. Amen

A note on humility. I really wanted to have a deeper understanding of what humility means and my search lead me to an explanation from the Hebrew language:

In Hebrew, the word for humility is anavah. Anavah (a humble heart) is a picture of strength surrendered to God. The Bible describes Moses, the great leader of Israel, like this in Numbers 12:3 “Now Moses was very humble (anav), more than anyone else on the face of the earth.” Moses confronted Pharaoh, parted the Red Sea, and received the Ten Commandments, yet the defining characteristic God highlights is his humbleness. His strength was not in himself, but in his surrender to God. From the perspective and depth of the Hebrew language humility (anavah) means:

·       bowing low so that God can lift you high,

·       strength restrained by love,

·       walking with confidence in God’s power, not in your own pride.

Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly (anavah) with your God.”
