Brother Mark takes us through the initial verses of Hebrews Chapter 12 to discuss the life of faith.  Though it may be difficult to define, Scripture teaches us the life of faith is best defined by the actions we take. Abel, Abraham, Sara, Moses, Gideon, and others mentioned in Scripture are our evidence of what faithful lives look like.  But, as the Spirit inspired Paul to write, our highest and best example of living faithful to the will of the Father is Jesus.

Subject:  Putting off the Old Life and Putting on the New

Brother Mark focuses on the scriptural teachings surrounding putting off the old life and putting on the new.  God encourages His children to be holy as he is holy.  From the Old to the New Testament, God’s children are exhorted to distinguish between the clean and the unclean and to make their daily lifestyle a reflection of the holiness of their Lord and to set themselves apart from the corrupt world.

markwMark Wattenbarger focuses on the letter to the Church of Ephesus.  In the midst of divine culture, with all manner of influences; the scripture teaches us to walk worthy of our vocation (Eph 4:1-2), and to put forward the effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit (Eph 4:3).

Ordinances of Communion, Fellowship, & Baptism

Articles of Faith #6:  We believe that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of Jesus Christ, and that feet washing is an example, a duty, connected with the supper, and that true believers are the only subjects of either and should be practiced by the churches; and that baptism by immersion is the apostolic mode.

Referenced Scriptures: [1Corinthians 10:16-17,21,  2Corinthians 6:14-18

Mark Wattebarger discusses Hebrews 12:1-4.  He gives us a brief outline of the history of the book and the reason Paul spends Chapter 11 listing men and women living their lives in faith.  Elder Wattenbarger helps us understand the background for Paul’s powerful statement that, in the midst of trial and persecution, we should always be, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”
