Advent in Hebrews
Advent 2023
To Worship God
December 31, 2023 • Jonathan Parnell
In this sermon, on Christmas Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon the benediction in Hebrews 13:20-21 which points to God equipping us to worship Him. We exist to be worshippers of God because the most important thing we can do with our lives is to magnify the glory of God. Worship is the goal, and it applies to all of life.
Into the World and Outside the Camp
December 24, 2023 • Mike Polley
In this sermon, on the fourth and final Sunday of Advent, Pastor Mike Polley expounds upon Hebrews 13:10-13 which highlights the purpose for which Jesus came and walked on this earth. Jesus came into the world to save the world, Jesus went outside the camp to save the world, and we must go to Jesus to be saved.
In the Days of His Flesh
December 17, 2023 • Jonathan Parnell
In this sermon, on the third Sunday of Advent, Pastor Jonathan Parnell looks at Hebrews 5:1-10 and expounds upon the suffering of Jesus in the days of his flesh. And in this passage, the author of Hebrews answers the question: How does Jesus’s excruciating prayer in Gethsemane make him get us?
You Need His Help This Advent
December 10, 2023 • David Mathis
In this sermon, on the second Sunday of Advent, Pastor David Mathis expounds upon Hebrews 2:10-18 which is a “he get us” passage. But not only does he get us, he helps us. In Advent, we celebrate that he became man, fully human like us, not just to be one of us but to save us.
Darkness and Ashes
December 3, 2023 • Jonathan Parnell
In this sermon, on the first Sunday of this Advent season, we return to Hebrews 2:5-9. Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds this passage in light of our current reality that Jesus reigns because “for a little while [he] was made lower than the angels”, yet we still live in a land of darkness and ashes. The future world has been introduced, but we are still waiting for Jesus’s second advent.
