Hebrews 10: Encouraging One Another

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. - Hebr. 10:23-25 NIV

Hebrews is one of the most difficult books in the Bible to digest.  Years ago, our weekly home group in New Jersey decided to do a study of Hebrews.  A year later, we were still slogging our way through the book.  We found that on any given night, we could tackle six to eight verses at the most.  The conversations and questions that arose from just a few verses were limitless.  All of the study did much to build our confidence in the gospel and each other.  If there ever was a time that we should be studying scriptures together it is now.  As worldly events and troubles swirl around us we need the encouragement that comes from the Word and from each other.  Weekly sermons are not enough.  To get God's Word deep inside requires seeking, studying, and questioning.  That is very difficult to do on one's own.  We must encourage each other to meet and work together.
