SERMONS

Fragility, Fortitude, and Focus

The Final Word

March 5, 2023 • Drake Osborn • Hebrews 12:1–2

Give

Hebrews 12:1-2 // Life is a race—but not just any race—it's an agonizing struggle. In order to make it to the end to see God, we need endurance, but our problem is our fragility, our natural inclination to blame-shift, heap-on, and quick-fix. If we are going to run well, we must fix our eyes on the ultimate goal of life: Jesus Christ who has gone before.

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.
