Partaker of Flesh and Blood

While the writer to the Hebrews has already demonstrated from Scripture that the Messiah is greater than angels, His appearance is lower than the angels.  He humbled Himself to partake of flesh and blood to give aid to the children of Abraham – to be their Champion for eternity.

So Great a Salvation – Spirit

Sermon, , , , ,

So Great a Salvation – Adopted

Sermon, , , ,

A parenthesis in our “So Great a Salvation” mini-series, we look at adoption into the family of God.  In Matthew 17, Jesus made an interesting comment to Peter that prompted a squirrel chase that ended in Romans 8. Being sons and daughters of God and joint-heirs with Christ is kinda a big deal. But all of creation yearning for our complete adoption, the redemption of our body should give perspective that this salvation is bigger than we thought.

God Has Spoken

Sermon, ,

God has spoken and we have His words. In various ways and in various times, He has revealed Himself through human writers.

New Heaven on New Earth

Sermon, , ,

This world gives us glimpses of something our heart yearns to experience but never can find satisfaction. I’ve heard that our heart has those yearnings because our heart is made for something that this world cannot satisfy – a new heaven and new earth. We simply are not home yet. But one day, those of us in Christ will make it home
