Strive to Enter the Rest
What is God’s rest? How do I enter it? We tackle these questions as many others as we consider again a great warning in the midst of great hope and great urgency. Here is a call to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Do Not Harden Your Hearts
In this sermon we look together at a warning not to have a hard heart. But what does a hard heart look like? The text gives us six different attributes of a rebellious heart as we’re called to watch ourselves and others from falling into the deceitfulness of sin. May God use this warning to keep his saints secure and bring repentance where needed.
Christ: Superior to Moses
As followers of Christ we must stay faithful to our calling. How can we do this in our families, at work, or in the public square? We consider Christ. This sermon unpacks this text of Scripture and the faithfulness of Jesus before considering real-world examples and the biblical truth that sets us free to follow Christ. May God give us grace to cling to him in times of adversity and temptation to quit.
True Solidarity
Expressions of solidarity are common in our age of terrorism. “We stand with you” is an oft repeated slogan that is little more than words said and gone. When Christ stands with you in solidarity it means the destruction of death, victory over the devil, forgiveness of sins and access to the Father, and the assurance that you will inherit eternal life! When Christ says, “I stand with you!” it means something!
Suffering, Death, and Glory
The world to come will be ruled by righteousness, sin and death will be no more. We don’t see this now, but we do see Christ. It is what we see in Christ that gives us great hope in what we don’t see. In times of suffering we see Christ and we see his love, his power, and the surety of his future victory. Let us together, look to Christ!
