Hebrews 1:1-6 // What is faith? The writer to the Hebrews gives the church a two-old response, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Heb. 11:1) Faith is forward and future, it gives substance to our hope. Faith is why Christian hope is more than wishful thinking on a cosmic scale. Faith is also holistic and demonstrative. Faith pulls events of the witnessed (testified) past through to the unseen events that belong to God’s promised future. Faith in this way is living in this moment between God’s faithful past, and his promised future.

Christians sit in the already not yet tension of life as "resident aliens". While we live in the earthly city, we seek our true home, the heavenly city that is to come by 1) Honoring Leaders Past and Present; 2) Following Jesus Into Reproach; 3) Living Generously Before All. **Due to technical issues, the audio is not available for this sermon.

Kingdom Ethics

Hebrews 13:1-6 // If we are the inheritors of an unshakable kingdom—what are the ethics of that kingdom? With brotherly, familial love, which leads to hospitality for those outside the kingdom, a concern for the justice of the oppressed, a high regard for the glory of marriage, a freedom from love of money, and a confidence in God's help.
