SERMONS

Christ, the Heart of Worship

The Final Word

January 1, 2023 • Dave Becker • Hebrews 9:1–14

Give

Hebrews 9:1-14 // God has always shown us how he is to be worshipped and provided us with the means to worship him. In the Old Covenant, that meant giving his people clean hands to enter into his presence. But now in the new and better Covenant, we are given clean hearts in Christ, and can come to worship God freely and truly.

The Shepherd Lives

April 9, 2023 • Drake Osborn • Hebrews 13:20–25

Hebrews 13:20-25 // At the end of Hebrews, we find a prayer that an exclamatory truth (Jesus lives!) leads to an exclamatory result (you can please God!) and an exclamatory response (Praise Jesus, forever Amen!).

Seeking the City to Come

April 2, 2023 • Drake Osborn • Hebrews 13:7–19

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

March 26, 2023 • Dave Becker • Hebrews 13:1–6

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.
