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…

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 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…

You need milk, not solid food, [13] for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in…

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…
