This morning, Brandon preached from Hebrews 2:1–3 with the title “Drifting.”
Using the picture of a boat on a river, we were reminded how easily we can drift if we are not careful. The water may seem calm at first, but before long we can be carried into danger. As Christians, our rudder is the Word of God, guiding us and keeping us on course.
Brandon challenged us to stay vigilant because it is much easier to change direction at the start than when we are being battered by the waves. Drifting often begins quietly: less desire for Bible study, reduced prayer, less eagerness to be with God’s people and a fading concern for the gospel.
The answer is to start rowing again: keep studying, keep praying, keep growing, keep good company and help others stay on course too.
We must never think it cannot happen to us. The Christian life is a lifelong journey of faith, diligence and staying close to God.
