What You Really Say When You Say NO to Jesus? (Hebrews 10:26-39)

  2. "I'm Willing to go to hell." (Heb 10:27)
  3. "Jesus is Nothing to me." (Heb 10:28-29)
    1. You are Spurning Jesus. (Heb 10:28-29a)
    2. You are Profaning Jesus' blood. (Heb 10:29b)
    3. You are Insulting the Holy Spirit. (Heb 10:29c)
  4. "I'd Rather face God as my Judge than my Savior." (Heb 10:30-31)
