Anchored or Drifting?

Anchored or Drifting?

Key Passage: Hebrews 2:1-4

Jesus is greater than the angels… for this reason we must pay even greater attention…

- Hebrews 2:1

- Chapter 1 was doctrine.

- Chapter 2 calls for a response.

- “Pay attention”: prosechō - to turn the mind to, attend to be attentive. to apply one's self to, attach one's self to, hold or cleave to a person or a thing

- 1 Timothy 4:13

- “All the more”: perissoterōs - more superabundantly. Much more, more in a greater degree. More exceedingly.

…to what we have heard

- Hebrews 2:1

- Philippians 4:9

- We don’t lack information. We lack transformation.

…so that we will not drift away

- Hebrews 2:1

- “Drift away”: pararreō - to glide by: lest we be carried by, pass by

- prosechō: also used to refer to anchoring a ship.

- pararreō: also a nautical term that means to carelessly slip past the harbor.

- Unless we anchor ourselves to the truth of God’s word we will drift.

- 2 Peter 1:5-8 - the cure for ineffectiveness and a lack of productivity.

Am I giving superabundant attention to the truth? Or am I neglecting it?

- Am I anchored? Or am I drifting?
