Following Jesus means I have to keep growing. In Hebrews 5:11–6:20, the writer challenges Christians who have followed Jesus long enough that they should be growing toward maturity. The elementary teachings of our faith are not something we leave behind … they are the foundation we continue building upon.

In this message, we look at the danger of spiritual stagnation, the importance of continuing to build on the foundation of faith, and the serious warning against turning away from Jesus. Yet the message doesn't end with a warning. Hebrews reminds us that we can keep going because our hope is anchored in God's promise.

Abraham waited for God's promise without seeing the full picture. In the same way, we may not understand everything God is doing or see how every circumstance will work out … but we can keep following Jesus because God keeps His promises.

Fix your eyes on Jesus … keep growing … keep building … keep persevering … and remember that your hope is anchored in Him.
