Hebrews: A Sobering Warning

This sermon from Hebrews 6:4-12 addresses a sobering warning against spiritual regression while offering encouragement to pursue spiritual maturity. Pastor Stephen explains that this passage isn't primarily about losing salvation but about broken fellowship with God. He examines five experiences of true believers mentioned in the text: being enlightened, tasting the heavenly gift, sharing in the Holy Spirit, tasting the goodness of God's Word, and experiencing the powers of the age to come. The warning is compared to a father calling a wandering child back home. Pastor Stephen emphasizes that full assurance of salvation comes from full fellowship with Christ and challenges listeners to examine whether their lives echo the fruits of salvation and whether they're pursuing spiritual maturity with earnestness.
