Give

Scripture teaches that we should expect to experience suffering and God’s correction in this life, and that God can use all of this for our good and his glory. In this sermon from Hebrews 12:4-11, Pastor Phil looks at the Father’s comfort and purpose in our trials and in his correction, and how through these hardships he gives us life and makes us grow in holiness. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

How Should We Pray?

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Hebrews 13:20–25

The book of Hebrews ends with a pastoral benediction over God’s people, as well as direction on how we should pray. We are encouraged to pray for the work of God in Christ, who is our peace, our life, and our Great Shepherd. We are also reminded to pray for the people of God, that he would equip us, work in us, and that we would listen to his Word. May we keep our eyes on Christ as we persevere to the end! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Obedience That Leads to Blessing

In this sermon from Hebrews 13:17-19, Austin Farley looks at why we should follow and submit to our leaders, as well as what this looks like in the life of the church.

A Life of Worship

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Hebrews 13:15–16

Our response to the book of Hebrews should be to offer up a sacrifice of praise, but what does this sacrifice of praise look like? In this sermon from Hebrews 13:15-16, Pastor Phil looks at the motivation, the manner, and the methods of true worship. We see that we can live a life that is pleasing to God when we acknowledge his name in our lives, do not neglect to do good, and willingly share what we have.
