Book of Hebrews chapter 6, a long time in this chapter, but it's so incredibly powerful theology.

Hebrews chapter 6, we move on though into this section that for me, I've titled it,

Wheels Up. Wheels Up. It means, okay, we just went through all of that.

What the author of the book of Hebrews was saying regarding moving on from those basic elements,

of the understanding, which by the way, when you look at the opening throws of chapter 5 and 6,

and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God.

But, beloved, listen to this now, by the way, with all that we've gone through over the course

of these last four or five weeks in Hebrews, now look at verse 9. But, beloved, we are confident

of better things concerning you. Yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

For God is not in just the beginning of the work and the beginning of the work, which you have shown for this name,
