We saw last time that our Lord Jesus has become a priest “by the power of an indestructible life” (7:16). He is qualified for a better priesthood not by genealogy but by resurrection. He has introduced a better hope to us, a hope through which we can draw near to God by grace. It’s this […]
In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that believers can draw near to God because of Christ’s better priesthood. The good news is that Jesus has become a different priest on the basis of his indestructible resurrection life, and through him God’s goal of perfection, of completeness, for his people and his creation will be […]
In this sermon, pastor Matt helps us see how Melchizedek, the mysterious figure from the Old Testament, points us to Jesus, the greater priest who continues forever. When we see how Scripture tells us who Melchizedek is and what he does, we realize it was always God’s intention to provide a royal priest for his […]
In this sermon, pastoral resident Seth Hampton encourages us to see that Jesus anchors us in hope to all of God’s promises. When the winds and the waves threaten us, we know that the risen Lord Jesus is the forerunner and pioneer of our salvation, who not only keeps safe through the storm but will […]
In this sermon, pastor Matt exhorts us to remember that God’s unchangeable purpose gives unshakeable confidence to the believer. Our God has given us not only his promise but also his oath that we might be encouraged to hold fast to the hope set before us, trusting that he who promised is faithful
In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that those who keep up the good work of faith enjoy the full assurance of hope. Though salvation by grace is held out in the gospel, we must be diligent to prove the genuineness of our faith in Christ until the end if we are to receive what […]
The author of Hebrews is deeply concerned about his fellow believers. He sees that they had stopped growing up in the gospel, that they were wanting to go back to their former way of life, back to Judaism, to the Law, to the old covenant. But such a rejection of the Son would only lead […]
In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that to be mature in the faith we must continue in the gospel. This text reveals that we need to receive God’s word with eagerness and embrace its fulfillment in Christ if we are to grow up and be fit for his kingdom of righteousness.
In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us how Christ is perfectly qualified to be the great high priest that we need. Better than the priests of old, Jesus is the Son who learned obedience because of what he suffered, and he has become the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
In this sermon on Hebrews 4:14-16, Pastor Keith encourages the church of Christ the Great High Priest to hold fast to the confession of our faith-the confession that proclaims Jesus had atoned for our sins on the cross and rose victoriously to ascend to the right hand of the Father passing through the heavens. He […]
Many of us might be familiar with the God’s Word as part of our spiritual armor in Ephesians 6, where we wield it “against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” In this sermon, pastoral resident Seth Hampton shows […]
In this sermon, pastor Matt helps us see that God’s promised rest remains open to all those who believe the gospel. Today, the good news is that God’s Son, Jesus, has secured a place for us in this Sabbath rest, and this is a reality which we can experience in part today and enjoy forever.
In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that we must always watch out that our hearts are not hardened in unbelief. As Christ’s church, we must daily encourage one another to continue believing God’s gospel and also to warn one another against the very real danger of falling away from him.
In this sermon on Hebrews 3:7-11, Pastor Keith warns the church of the danger of hardening our hearts while hearing God’s word and failing to respond in repentance. Looking at the example of Israel in the wilderness, he shows how the heart grows hard through persistent resistance against God’s provision and truth. He reminds us […]
In this sermon pastor Mitch shows us that Jesus is better than Moses because he is God’s Son and worthy of our complete confidence. While Moses was a faithful servant in God’s house, Jesus is worthy of more glory because he is the builder the house who is faithful over the house as a Son. […]
