In this sermon, Pastor addresses the timeless relevance of old hymns and draws a powerful lesson from Hebrews 6 about spiritual growth and maturity. He begins by discussing the importance of moving beyond the foundational principles of Christianity to achieve spiritual perfection, which means maturity rather than flawlessness. Using personal anecdotes, he illustrates the concept of being "dull of hearing" and emphasizes the necessity of not just listening but obeying God's word.

Pastor highlights the dangers of falling away from faith, explaining that stagnation in spiritual growth is equivalent to dying. He compares this to being like those who received Christ but held onto their old ways, warning that such behavior leads to a spiritual decline that is difficult to reverse. He underscores that true faith requires continuous growth and maturity, not just adherence to past traditions or temporary sacrifices.

The message also delves into the impossibility of pleasing God without faith, stressing that living by sight rather than faith leads to a disconnect from God's promises and blessings. Pastor poignantly describes the gravity of falling away from faith, likening it to crucifying Christ anew and putting Him to open shame. He challenges the congregation to reflect on their spiritual state and the seriousness of backsliding.

Despite the heavy message, Pastor offers hope, encouraging believers that God sees their labor of love and will not forget their efforts. He assures them that progress, no matter how small, is significant and that God's promises are reliable. He concludes by urging the congregation to renew their commitment to spiritual growth and maturity, ensuring they do not fall away but continue to live faithfully, glorifying God in all they do.
