October 30, 2022 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Hebrews 12:5–11

Have you ever been disciplined by a father figure? Coach? By God? The writer of Hebrews reminds us in chapter 12 that God's discipline, though painful, is for our good and because He loves us. We are His children, and He wants us to become the people He purposed us to be. This week, let's expand our view of 'fatherhood' beyond the limited and broken experiences we have had growing up, and allow God to heal us and show us His heart.

Living By Faith

October 23, 2022 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Hebrews 11:1–6

What is faith, and how do we live by it? Abel, Enoch, Noah, and so many others demonstrated what faith in action looks like, and how through faith broken people gain the approval of God. Hebrews 11 affirms that faith is a confidence - an assurance we can build our lives on - that God is who He says He is and rewards those who seek Him.
