    Why Did Jesus Jesus Die For Us? | Jesus Our Better | Ethan Bricker

    Have you ever asked yourself, Why does Jesus have to die to forgive us of our sins or to bring humanity salvation? If you've ever had trouble understanding what Jesus accomplished on Calvary, this message is for you.The Bible is a unified story all telling the same redemptive story of God saving His creation that has been corrupted by sin. God uses covenants as a vehicle to grow in relationship with those he establishes a covenantal relationship with. In the New Covenant, we see Jesus fulfill all of the covenants that came prior to it, but not only that, we also see him establish a brand new covenant that will never go away. In this message, Pastor Ethan Bricker brings his Covenants series to a climactic moment where all of the covenants in the Bible find their fulfillment in Jesus. Thanks for sharing these videos with your friends & family and subscribing to our channel. We would love to see you in person at one of our Sunday night gatherings! Visit our website: https://www.theclearing.net/For more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here

    In this message, pastor Ethan Bricker discusses why all Christians have been called royal priests and what the priesthood of all believers means for us in our modern-day lives. To be a priest first and foremost means to be a first follower - someone who is willing to follow a leader before anyone else. Contrary to our post-modern mindsets, FOLLOWING IS LEADING. God has called us to approach him, become united with Him by His Son, and mind the gap between the lost and our Father who finds.For more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here

    Today, Ethan Bricker spoke to us about the importance of waiting on the Lord. He explores Isaiah 40, Psalm 23, and Matthew 11, and how they all point to the solution to our weary hearts. Waiting is practicing trust and rest at the same time. It's an exercise of Shabbat and Faith working together at the same time in trust that God will renew the strength we need. As Ethan says, "Waiting is love on the way." it is when we anticipate the love of God seeking us out and transforming our weariness into glad strength. For more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
