C.Why is brotherly love commanded? 1. It is the evidence of discipleship (John 13:35; see 15:12-19) 2. Brotherly love doesn’t come naturally, and in some cases not easily. 3. Hard times are coming and they are hard on love (Matthew 24:9-13; John 15:17-25) D.Why does brotherly love come first?

III. Show hospitality to strangers (Hebrews 13:2 A.The crucial role of hospitality in the Bible 1.

V. Honor marriage (Hebrews 13:4) A.Honoring the institution of marriage 1. Some had disdain for marriage, or for sexual enjoyment in marriage (1 Corinthians 7:-5; 1 Timothy 4:1-5) 2.

VI. Maintain a lifestyle that is free from the love of money (Hebrews 13:5-6) A.The issue is not wealth, but the love of money. B.This is an issue of lifestyle C.Contentment is the solution D.Faith is the basis 1. Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:5 2. Psalm 118:6 E.Other texts about money 1.
