Work On Your Long Game - 6 January 2019 - Clayton Nel

2. H E B R E W S 6 : 11 - 1 2 ( N I V )
We want each of you to show this same
diligence to the very end, so that what
you hope for may be fully realized. We do
not want you to become lazy, but to
imitate those who through faith and
patience inherit what has been promised.

3. 1. HAVE AN END GOAL IN SIGHT.
“We want each of you to show this
same diligence to the very end.”
HEBREWS 6:11

4. 1. HAVE AN END GOAL IN SIGHT.
For in this hope we are saved. Full hope that
is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what
they already have? But if we hope for what
we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
ROMANS 8:24-25

5. 2. PUT IN THE WORK
“We do not want you
to become lazy…”
HEBREWS 6:12

6. 2. PUT IN THE WORK
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle
and going about from house to house. And
not only do they become idlers, but also
busybodies who talk nonsense, saying
things they ought not to.
1 TIM 5:13

7. 3. LEARN TO WAIT
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was
no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
14saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many
descendants.” 15And so after waiting patiently,Abraham
received what was promised. 16People swear by someone
greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said
and puts an end to all argument.
HEBREWS 6:13-16

8. 3. LEARN TO WAIT
17Because God wanted to make the unchanging
nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what
was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18God did
this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is
impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take
hold of the hope set before us may be greatly
encouraged.
HEBREWS 6:17-18

9. 3. LEARN TO WAIT
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for
him; do not fret when people succeed in
their ways, when they carry out their wicked
schemes.
PSALM 37:7 (NIV)
