9, 2025  "Lettuce
Sermon" Message summary: Let us hold unswervingly to our hope in Christ! Listen to our message on your audio player. "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23). The other day Brooksyne made salad for our dinner. Rather than have another plate to wash she just served me in the clear plastic clamshell container the lettuce came in. I'm the type that curiously reads the back of packages but this message was to be read from the inside. At first glance I thought there was an apparent typo until I read it again, "Done Already? Lettuce know what you think". Well, it was a good salad especially after Brooksyne doctored it up but the message prompted a long ago memory. One of the first sermons I ever preached was from the book of Hebrews and throughout the message I repeatedly used the phrase "Let us". After the message Jeff, a Bible College friend came up to me, shook my hand and said, "Thank you for your salad sermon"!
The
author of
Hebrews uses
the phrase "let
us" twelve
times. When I
read or hear
sermons
preached using
this phrase
(also known
technically as
the
cohortatory) I
am encouraged,
as it seems
the author or
preacher is
leading me,
not pushing
me. The writer
conveys that
he is facing
the same
circumstances
as his readers
so he presents
a form of
personal
resolve in his
writing. A.W Pink, a British writer who has long been with the Lord, dying in 1952, wrote in his classic book "The Attributes Of God" concerning God's faithfulness: "God is true. His Word of Promise is sure. In all His relations with His people God is faithful. He may be safely relied upon. No one ever yet really trusted Him in vain. We find this precious truth expressed almost everywhere in the Scriptures, for His people need to know that faithfulness is an essential part of the Divine character. This is the basis of our confidence in Him. But it is one thing to accept the faithfulness of God as a Divine truth, it is quite another to act upon it. God has given us many "exceeding great and precious promises", but are we really counting on His fulfillment of them? Are we actually expecting Him to do for us all that He has said? Are we resting with implicit assurance on these words, "He is faithful that promised" (Hebrews 10:23)? Rest in this wonderful assurance today. Let us hold unswervingly to our hope in Christ!
