This collection of Bible messages on a variety of subjects were preached by our founding pastor, Ike T. Sidebottom, at College Avenue Church (original name of Grace Bible Church) in Fort Worth, TX back in the 1960s. Brother Ike, as he was affectionately known, was one of the foremost preachers and teachers of the Word of God, though he is best remembered by his true humility and love. He spoke with a slow, deep voice as he preached the gospel of God’s grace and taught the Word “rightly divided.” Sadly, these are the only recordings we have of Brother Ike in MP3 format.

Hold Fast the Confession of Our Hope
The unsaved world goes through life with no hope for the future, but this is not true for those who have trusted Christ as Savior. We have a wonderful, blessed hope of eternal life; a hope promised and provided by God through Jesus Christ and His finished work of redemption. This morning, we look at at the second exhortation in Hebrews 10:19-25, found in verse 23, which says, "let us hold fast the confession of our hope." Though our hope is not the same as the Hebrews to whom this book was written, the spiritual principles we find in this passage can be applied to our lives today and serve as spiritual resolutions we should make in this new year.
