WSM: The Book of Hebrews- underway
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
The Way School of Ministry began its 5th course this past week on the book of Hebrews. David Gordon, director of IHOP-AC is teaching the course. We are excited as a school to go deep in the Word together as we peer into this epistle and gaze on the God-Man. In the first week we began to look at “interpretative keys” to understand the book. From the notes: “The key to understanding God’s message in its proper context in the book of Hebrews is to develop an intimate familiarity with the book as a whole….context is king in interpreting the word of God.” We began to look at some of the keys such as:
5 dangers/ warnings- addressed to these believers to endure to the end and not to give up and fall away from the faith. Each warning/exhortation is connected to His Word
“ifs”- the “ifs” we see in Hebrews challenge us to consider the severity of our obedience and endurance as we walk with Jesus Christ in the midst of increasing deception and persecution at the end of the age.
Supremacy & Excellencies of Christ- It really is all about Jesus: His beauty and His glory manifest to His people, He is worthy. Jesus in His person and work are the key themes of the book of Hebrews.
Lifestyles before the Lord- The cross, the word and the throne are three essential and continual themes throughout the book of Hebrews.
- Lifestyles of consecration through the cross of Jesus Christ
- Lifestyles of revelation through the word of Jesus Christ
- Lifestyles of intercession through the throne of Jesus Christ
We are so expectant to see God establish us deeper in His Word over these next few weeks. Keep checking back for more insights from the class.
New Prayer Room Location
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
For the last four years, IHOP-AC has been blessed by Life Fellowship Church to use their facilities freely. With the event of their new church merge and relocation, we have been given the opportunity to set up the prayer room at New Directions International. Since being in this new prayer room, we have felt a new sense of unity and comradery in our times of corporate intercession. We are excited to see what the Lord is going to do here! Pray with us as we continue to labor for God to raise up day and night prayer & revival in the region!
