Hebrews

Obey Your Leaders

A command to obey your leaders sounds so bad! Abuse! Oppression! Yet, consider the goodness of God-ordained leadership when it happens according to God’s design. See why you want this kind of leadership in your life! Rather than a joyless servitude, leadership roles in God’s economy are for our joy and advantage. Consider true leadership and obedience from Hebrews 13:17.

Be Content With What You Have

We think prosperity will bring contentment. But contentment proves more difficult with prosperity! In this sermon, we examine why that is and how we can be content in all things. We’ll ask why contentment is difficult, what does it look like to be content, and finally, how do you do it. Only through the strength of Christ and the glories of God can we be truly content in any and every circumstance.

The Honor of Marriage

Marriage should be honored among all. Certainly not natural to our secular society today. Here is a call to honor what God honors. Here is a warning of God’s judgment for those who defile marriage. We examine why marriage should be honored, how we can honor it, and finally, a grave warning from Scripture concerning those who do not honor marriage.

Love and Hospitality

The center of the Christian home is Christ and what proceeds from that center is love. As the sun sits at the center of our universe and from it proceeds rays of light, so to Christ sits at the center of the Christian home and from it proceeds rays of love. This love is not just in word but in deed. In this text, we consider hospitality and caring for the needs of others. May God empower us to this…

A Kingdom that Cannot Be Shaken

We’ve not come to Mount Sinai but Mount Zion. We are called to be part of this new covenant people of God. Be sure that you do not refuse him who is speaking. Here is Christ’s invitation to sinners to come and be rescued. To come and have life. See to it that you believe in him and cling to him until the end.

Three Deadly Traps

* Note: The are some problems with the audio recording during this sermon. As we strive for holiness there are a number of traps or dangers that must be avoided. There are dangers that keep people from obtaining the grace of God. May God grant us grace to overcome.

Strive for Holiness

Hebrews 12:14 calls us to strive for peace with everyone and to strive for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. There is a holiness that is necessary to see the Lord and we are called to strive for it. What does that look like? How do we remain Christ-centered and gospel-driven as we strive for this holiness? We consider these and other important questions surrounding this important verse.

Enduring Hostility

We live in a world where people can lose jobs, income, family and friends, simply because they are Christians following the Lord Jesus Christ. However, this isn’t new. The Christians the letter of Hebrews was written were also losing homes, lands, jobs, family, and were being shunned by their community. It is in the midst of this that we must endure and look to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and remember the Father’s discipline which is training us for…

Looking to Jesus

The Christian life is likened to a race. Are you prepared for this race? Are weights and sin holding you back? Do you know the key to living the Christian life? Do you know what it means to look to Jesus? These questions and more are answered in this text. What we see is how we are to be prepared and how we are to run. We’re encouraged since Jesus is the one who initiates and completes our faith and…
