Jesus is the Better Tabernacle

Hebrews 9:1-12

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Bill Riedel • Hebrews 9:1–12

Every one of us wonders at times if God sees us, hears us, or is at all present with us. Even in our Bibles there are times that God’s presence and direction are very clear, and other times when He seems to be silent, at least from the perspective of those on earth. As we continue to see how Jesus is the true and greater fulfillment of the Old Covenant, we will turn our attention to the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was a tent, a mobile worship center for God’s people for generations, from the time they left Mt. Sinai until Solomon built a Temple. The Tabernacle itself points to Jesus and anticipates the need each one of us has to know that God is with us.

To Jesus Christ Be Glory Forever

November 24, 2024 • Pastor Bill Riedel • Hebrews 13:20–25

This weekend is the 21st sermon in the series that we started in April. That’s 21 Sundays of gazing at the transcendence and supremacy of Jesus Christ. I have loved the time we have spent together in God’s Word through this series, and I pray that it has been helpful and beneficial for you as well. On Sunday we conclude with some final greetings and a soaring benediction in Hebrews 13:20-25. It truly wraps up the fullness of the book. I hope to remind us of the important truths we learned along the way as we ask God for a clear vision of the eternal glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus and the Better City

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Bill Riedel • Hebrews 13:7–19

The theme of the City of God stretches into this passage. When I have the chance to visit a new city for the first time, I love to learn as much as I can and research to learn about the place – its history, culture, things to do, etc. We can do the same with the City of God. On Sunday we will take time to look at the foundations, culture, location, population, industry, government, and language of God’s city. It’s an important look at how our lives are impacted by the gospel as its citizens, and where our hope lies looking ahead.

Jesus and the Better Way

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Bill Riedel • Hebrews 13:1–6

We will continue in our series in Hebrews, Jesus is Better, with Hebrews 13:1-6. And so we begin the final chapter of this letter and the final stretch of our series together. The final chapter of Hebrews is intensely practical. This week we will see how the application flows directly out of the two kingdoms from last week. Jesus has a better way than this world can possibly offer. His way is not always easy to discern, and it is, as Jesus described, narrower than the wide roads that surround it. That narrow path will lead us through all that we face in our lives with a greater sense of peace and fulfillment than we can find anywhere else.
