Tossing the Steak

Embrace the Richness of Faith Beyond the Basics

In our latest episode of HOTM SHORT SHOW, we emphasized the importance of seeking a deeper understanding of faith and the Scriptures.

The core message of this episode is a challenge to move beyond the basics of faith. We often hear believers express indifference towards deeper theological discussions, claiming they only want to follow Jesus. However, we posed the question: if certain topics are unimportant, why are they included in the Bible? Why did Jesus use parables, and why does the writer of Hebrews highlight the need for spiritual maturity?

We explored Hebrews 5:11-14, which contrasts the need for spiritual milk with the call to consume solid food. Just as a mature adult should not limit themselves to baby food, we encouraged our audience to embrace the richness of Gospel truths and engage with the deeper aspects of their faith.

We also discussed the importance of building upon the foundational principles of the Gospel, as outlined in Hebrews 6:1-3. Rejecting opportunities for growth in understanding is akin to refusing a delicious steak dinner in favor of baby food. We should celebrate our foundational beliefs while also striving to explore and digest more complex ideas rooted in Scripture.

In closing, we invited listeners to imagine a scenario where a loved one is treated to a special meal, only to have a guest dismiss the experience. This metaphor serves as a reminder of the joy and fulfillment that comes from engaging with the deeper truths of our faith. We encourage everyone to dig deep, seek wisdom, and embrace the richness of God’s Word.

With thought-provoking topics and open dialogue, HOTM encourages viewers to prioritize their relationship with God over traditions or dogma.
