Compassion on our Weakness

Sermon, , ,

Greater Advocate

Sermon, , , ,

What is God’s Rest?

Sermon, , , ,

When the writer of Hebrews offered rest from God, what kind of rest does God offer? God rested from His work of creation on His sabbath – then commands His people to enjoy a rest the same way – trusting in His provision. God offered peace – trusting in His provision and protection. God offered salvation – trusting His provided atonement instead of trying to make our own.

Partaker of Flesh and Blood

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. But in these last days, God has spoken most clearly through His Son – Jesus Christ. Jesus the Son of God surpasses all other revelations because He is superior to all other humans God has or could have used.
