Jesus, the True and Better Jacob

Fellowship Church Knoxville

Jesus, the True and Better Jacob

September 17, 2023 • JC Neely • Genesis 32:22–29

This Sunday, JC continues our series on Jesus, the True and Better, and shows how Jesus is the true and better Jacob. Like Jacob, we all wear masks to cover and hide the mess that is in our lives. But, it is our masks and our mess that lead us to our Messiah. We wear masks to earn blessing from others, but God will not bless who we are pretending to be. Blessings that come from our identity in Christ bring us freedom.

Jesus, the True and Better Cleanser of the House

November 19, 2023 • RD McClenagan • Leviticus 14:33–38

This Sunday, RD continues our series on Jesus, the True and Better, and shows how Jesus is the true and better cleanser of the house. God's people are called to be holy, and the book of Leviticus shows His people how they can dwell with a holy God. The standard to be in His presence is purity, and to be pure, we must get to the root of the impurities within us. Christ came not just to examine us but to cleanse us.

Jesus, the True and Better Righteousness of God

November 12, 2023 • Rick Dunn • 1 Corinthians 1:26–31, Zechariah 3:1–5

This Sunday, Rick continues our series on Jesus, the True and Better, and shows how Jesus is the true and better Righteousness of God. He looks at the false hope we have in trying to overcome shame by making ourselves more righteous. Our full hope in overcoming shame is through the righteousness of Christ.

Jesus, the True and Better Stick & Axe

November 5, 2023 • Greg Pinkner • 2 Kings 6

This Sunday, Greg continues our series on Jesus, the True and Better, and shows how Jesus is the true and better Stick and Axe as he looks at the story of Elishah and the iron axe head. Elisha miraculously makes an iron axe head float, symbolizing Christ's sacrifice for sinners, enabling them to rise from their sins and slavery.
