Hebrews 11:8-22 Faith in Jesus brings Obedience

Series: Jesus Is The Better HopeSpeaker: Mike Laughrun Hebrews 11:8-22(8) By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance.

(10) For he was looking forward to…

Hebrews 10:36 – 11:7 Faith Is The Assurance Of Things Hoped For, The Conviction Of Things Not Seen

Series: Jesus Is The Better HopeSpeaker: Paul Mermilliod Hebrews 10:36 – 11:7 (ESV)36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For,“Yet a little while,and the coming one will come and will not delay;38 but my righteous one shall live by faith,and if he shrinks back,my soul has no pleasure in him.”39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but…

Hebrews 10:26-39 Faith In Jesus Changes The Way We Live

Series: Jesus Is The Better HopeSpeaker: Paul Mermilliod Hebrews 10:26-39 (ESV)26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will…

Hebrews 10:11–18 Jesus Is The Sufficient Sacrifice

Series: Jesus Is The Better SacrificeSpeaker: Daniel Broyles Big Truth:Jesus Is The Sufficient Sacrifice Hebrews 10:11–18[11] And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. [12] But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, [13] waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. [14] For by a single offering…

Hebrews 10:1-10 Jesus Is The Father’s Will For Atonement

Series: Jesus Is The Better SacrificeSpeaker: Mike Laughrun Hebrews 10:1-10(1) For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. (2) Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? (3) But in these…

Hebrews 9:23-28 Jesus Will Appear Again

Series: Jesus Is The Better CovenantSpeaker: Mike Laughrun Hebrews 9:23-28(23) Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.(24) For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. (25) Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the…

Hebrews 9:15-22 The Cost Of Sin Is Death

Series: Jesus Is The Better CovenantSpeaker: Mike Laughrun Hebrews 9:15-22(15) Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant,so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. (16) For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. (17) For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as…

Hebrews 8:13–9:14 Jesus’ Blood Sacrifice Of The New Covenant Perfects The Worshiper

Series: Jesus Is The Better CovenantSpeaker: Daniel Broyles Jesus’ Blood Sacrifice Of The New Covenant Perfects The Worshiper Hebrews 8:13–9:14[8:13] In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.[9:1] Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness. [2] For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread…

Hebrews 8:13-9:14 The Blood Sacrifices Of The First Covenant Could Not Perfect The Worshiper

Series: Jesus Is The Better CovenantSpeaker: Daniel Broyles Hebrews 8:13–9:14[8:13] In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.[9:1] Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness. [2] For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence. It is called the Holy Place. [3]…

Hebrews 8:1-13 Jesus Mediates a Better Covenant

Series: Jesus Is The Better CovenantSpeaker: Mike Laughrun (1) Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, (2) a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. (3) For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to…

Hebrews 7:21-28 Jesus Is Able To Save Forever

(21) …but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.’” (22) This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. (23) The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, (24) but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. (25) Consequently, he is able to save to…

Hebrews 7:11-22 Jesus Is The Guarantor Of A Better Covenant

Big Truth: Jesus Is The Guarantor Of A Better Covenant Hebrews 7:22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. Big Idea: Perfection Was Not Attainable Through The Old Covenant Hebrews 7:11–19 [11] Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? [12] For…

Hebrews 7:11-19 Perfection Cannot Be Attained Through The Law

Series: Jesus Is The Better High PriestSpeaker: Paul Mermilliod Hebrews 7:11-1911 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of…

Hebrews 7:1-10 Melchizedek Is Greater Than Levi

Hebrews 7:1-10[1] For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, [2] and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. [3] He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but…

Hebrews 6:17-20 Jesus Is A High Priest Forever

Sunday, May 28, 2023Speaker: Mike Laughrun Hebrews 6:17-20(17) So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, (18) so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. (19) We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of…

Big Truth: Promises are Inherited with Faith and Patience Hebrews 6:11–12[11] And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, [12] so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:1-12 Jesus Followers Are Diligent, Not Sluggish

Hebrews 6:1-121 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift,…

Hebrews 6:1-8 Jesus Followers Go On To Maturity

Hebrews 6:1-8Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, [2] and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. [3] And this we will do if God permits. [4] For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and…

Kainos – Every Jesus Follower Is An Ambassador Of Christ

KainosSpeaker: Justin Ray 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (ESV)16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is,…

Hebrews 5:11-14 Powers Of Discernment Are Trained By Constant Practice

Series: Warning: Do Not Be Sluggish Big Truth: Powers Of Discernment Are Trained By Constant Practice Hebrews 5:11–14[11] About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. [12] For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, [13] for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in…

Hebrews 5:7-10 Jesus Is The Source Of Eternal Salvation

Hebrews 5:7–10 [7] In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. [8] Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. [9] And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, [10] being designated by God a high priest after the order of…

The Scandal Of God’s Grace Is That While We Were Sinners Christ Died For Us

Special Guest: Zack Thurman Big TruthThe scandal of God’s grace is that while we were sinners Christ died for us. Luke 4:14-3014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath…

Jesus Is The Great High Priest Part II

Hebrews 4:14 – 5:6 (ESV)14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy…

Hebrews 4:11-13 Jesus is the All-Seeing Judge

(1) Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, (2) but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.Hebrews 1:1-2 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands…Hebrews 4:1 (2) For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because…

What Does It Really Mean To Follow Jesus?

Message by special guest: Dr. Paul Akin “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves…

Hebrews 4:1-11 Jesus Is The Better Rest

Hebrews 4:1–11 [1] Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. [2] For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. [3] For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall…

Hebrews 3:12-4:2 Unbelief Keeps Us From Entering Jesus’ Rest

Hebrews 3:12–4:2[12] Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. [13] But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. [14] For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. [15] As it is said, “Today, if you hear…

Hebrews 3:1-11 The Faithless Die In The Wilderness

Hebrews 3:1–11[1] Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, [2] who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. [3] For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. [4] (For every house is built by someone, but the builder…
