Hebrews 10:19-25

Why are most Christians weak? They don’t think anything is wrong They are caught up in many other less important things They don’t know how valuable their faith is

What’s the missing element? Most believers don't approach living out their faith with a “Military Mindset”

What is a Military Mindset? An attitude that the faith they possess is the most precious thing in life and it must be protected at all costs.

What does it mean for a believer to live with a military mindset? Become part of a military team

What does a Christian Military Team look like? A “Company” of Christians A Personal “Platoon” A Spiritual “Squadron” A Band of Brothers and Sisters

Band of brothers or sisters a small group of people (1 or more) who knows you intimately, supports you eternally, will care for and confront you anytime (whichever is needed most)

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER? What are we fighting for? What does a “military team” look like? What will be the impact of committing to a military team?

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, Hebrews. 10:19

by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God… Hebrews 10:20-21

let us draw near to God with a sincere heart having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water Hebrews 10:22

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23

What are we fighting for? Must protect our incredibly valuable faith. Our faith is under vicious attack.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another— and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

What does being in a military team look like? Meet regularly for worship and bible study-- Sunday Church Meet in a specialty group to grow and develop in areas where we are weak Meet more intensely during times of great challenge and opposition

What will be the impact of our military efforts? Your faith will become stronger and more precious to you. The local body will be stronger and more impactful locally and around the world.

Christians would get the reputation of being real, authentic, and powerful and as a result, it will draw non-believers to the fellowship.
