Step past the veil and into the core claim of Hebrews: Jesus is not only our mediator but our high priest who became the final, perfect sacrifice. We start with the Old Testament portrait—priests from among the people, a high priest entering the Holy of Holies once a year—and show why that pattern points to a deeper need. To truly represent us, a priest must share our humanity. To truly reconcile us, the priest must offer a sinless, sufficient sacrifice. Only Jesus is both.We walk through Hebrews chapters 1–2 to see how the text holds together Jesus' full divinity and full humanity, then unpack propitiation with clear language: God's justice satisfied, the barrier removed, the way back opened. No more yearly cycles of guilt. No more blood of bulls and goats. “It is finished” means done once for all. From there, Hebrews 3 turns the diamond: Moses served in the house; Jesus built the house. That shift matters, especially for anyone tempted to settle for tradition, tribe, or moral effort. The builder outranks the servant because the builder authors the story.Along the way we address a common struggle: confusing spiritual feelings with spiritual facts. Hebrews calls believers “holy brethren” and “partakers of a heavenly calling” because God sets us apart in Christ. That assurance empowers perseverance. When the author says “we are his house if we hold fast,” the “if” functions as a marker of genuine confidence—those who belong continue, not by grit alone, but because Christ is faithful. Consider Jesus becomes our rallying cry: engage your mind, weigh the claims, and become firmly persuaded.If you're hungry for a faith that invites thinking, offers real assurance, and centers on a Savior who is both advocate and offering, this conversation will steady your steps.

Hebrews 3 paints a vivid picture of the Church as the household of God, built by Christ Himself. Unlike Moses, who served in the house, Jesus is over the house—as its builder and High Priest. This episode reminds us that our confidence and unity come from keeping our minds fixed on Jesus.

“Consider Jesus” • Hebrews 3:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. Paul will continue in this chapter proving that Jesus is superior to Moses but he begins with an exhortation to deeper worship. Seeing that the believer is set apart by God in the covenant of redemption beginning in election, it makes logical sense that he would give complete attention and diligent observation of the superiority of Christ. This learning and worship is best done in the place designed and provided by the Father, The church of the living God, the household of God. Part 2 begins with an example of how we can be faithful in much by being faithful in the most basic of the duties of a disciple — church attendance. This message was preached on Sunday, May 19, 2024. Special note: Brother Luke Lowrance, son of Elder Bryce, graduated from High School. This sermon contains a graduation charge for him as well.
Consider JesusSeries: Family Services Preacher: Rev. Hilary Van WagenenDate: 2nd November 2025Passage: Hebrews 11:1-16
This week we continue our study through the book of Hebrews. In the first two chapters we have seen Jesus described as “better”… the better prophet, the heir of all things, the very radiance of God’s glory, the One who upholds all things, better than angels, the exact representation of God’s nature. We have been encouraged to pay close attention to the truth of salvation Jesus brings; He humbled Himself and made a way for us to be free from […]

Studies in John: 16 Consider Jesus - John 7:1-24
an expository sermon on Hebrews 3:1-6 preached by Pastor Jordan Atkinson on August 10, 2025
In the message, "Consider Jesus," Pastor Rich Whitter focuses on Hebrews 3:1–2, a call to fix our thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. Speaking to those who share in a heavenly calling, Pastor Rich challenges us to not just glance at Christ, but to truly consider Him His faithfulness, His obedience, and His authority over our lives.Drawing from the example of Moses, the message underscores that Jesus is greater worthy of more honor and trust. In moments of distraction or discouragement, we're reminded that clarity and confidence come when we lift our eyes to Christ.We hope this message helps you re-center your heart, deepen your focus, and faithfully walk in your calling by continually considering Jesus.

SERMON: CONSIDER JESUSSCRIPTURE: Hebrews 3:1-6 SERIES: HOLDING ON TO THE GREATER
Life can give us so many things to worry about. Pastor Ray Bentley says believers don't have to fall victim to that. What can you do to reduce stress and that floating anxiety that attaches itself to anything negative that happens in your life? The spiritual antidote to that is a growing faith. If you could have a faith this year that would grow and that would reduce your anxiety level.

Send us a textGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, pastor, Grace Church Greeley, COThere are lots of things that draw our time and thoughts away from the most important Person and event in history—Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection which took place nearly 2000 years ago in Jerusalem.Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from heaven, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life with the whole purpose of offering Himself on the cross to pay the death penalty for man's sins against His Father. Why would He do this?Here's why: “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).Consider Jesus in the days leading to His death on the cross. He knew when, where, and how He was going to suffer and die. Above all, He knew that His own Father would be pouring out His just wrath and justice on Him, the innocent One, for all the sins of all who would believe.The gospel of Luke describes Jesus' state on the night of His arrest as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane: “being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44).Agony, praying fervently, sweating blood. What? Didn't Jesus just run through this unruffled like some superhero?No He didn't. His agony and His actions before His atoning death teach us a great deal about who He is and who believers are called to be.Our guest this weekend is Travis Allen. Travis served our country in the US Navy as a member of the SEAL teams and is now the pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO. Travis gave a recent sermon series on “The Agony in the Garden,” explaining the deep suffering of Christ in the hours before He would bear His Father's wrath for our sin on the cross.We hope this program leading into Easter week, along with the April issue of The Christian Worldview Journal, which is scheduled to arrive this week, will help our hearts and minds more deeply appreciate and worship Christ for who He is—the Son of God and only Savior of mankind.-------------------------------RELATED SERMONS:The Agony in the Garden, Part 1The Agony in the Garden, Part 2Lessons from the GardenThe Arrest of JesusGRACE CHURCH GREELEY, CO PODCASTPillar of Truth
How we respond in times of trouble - Consider Jesus
Are all the benefits of being a believer stored up for us on the other side of eternity. Pastor Ray Bentley says no, there's abundant life here as well. Heaven is not merely your future destination. Heaven is something that you can taste here and now because you know what makes heaven? Heaven. What makes heaven heavenly is Jesus, wherever Jesus is.
I wonder if I speak to anyone that says, man, I need more peace. I need more rest in my soul. Pastor Ray Bentley points to where we can find real peace and rest for our souls. The harder the things go and the worse in one sense that the outside becomes and the greater the pressure becomes more and more a precious commodity clinging to the source of rest and peace Jesus Christ spread.
Who? Holy brothers (1) What? Consider Jesus... (1) Apostle and High Priest (1) Faithful to God, as was Moses (2) Worthy of more glory than Moses (3) Builder of God's House (3-4) Faithful over God's House as a Son (5-6)So what? Consider yourself (6) Confident in Hope?
What if the comfortable goals you've been setting are actually holding you back from your greatest achievements? In this inaugural episode of The After Show, I challenge the conventional wisdom of SMART goal-setting by proposing a powerful shift: replacing "Realistic" with "Hard" to create SMAHT goals (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Hard (or Heaven must help!), Time-based).When we set merely realistic goals, we stay in our comfort zones. But hard goals—those that make us squirm a little in our seats, that require new skills and outside help—these are the goals that transform us and the world around us. Consider Jesus commissioning his disciples to reach "all nations," not just a few—an impossibly hard goal at the time, yet one that changed history.I share my own struggle with perfectionism in launching this very podcast, waiting too long for everything to be "just right" before pushing record. As Chris Tucker's character in Rush Hour might say, sometimes you just need to "push the damn button" and get started. Hard goals require us to overcome these mental barriers and move forward despite imperfection.The path to achieving hard goals isn't mysterious. Write them down (increasing your chances of success by 80%), create a scorecard to track progress, and share your goals with someone who'll hold you accountable. I'm applying these principles to my own ambitious goal of reaching one million podcast downloads by the decade's end—not for personal glory, but because of the impact those million connections could create.Ready to choose your hard? As the poem says, "Life will never be easy. It will always be hard, but we can choose our hard." What impossible goal will you set today?Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

This week, as Pastor Chris continued our Hebrews series, he invited us to reflect on the faithfulness of Jesus. Faithfulness is a defining characteristic of God's nature, and Jesus stands as the ultimate example of steadfastness and reliability. Through exploring God's promises to the faithful—promises of reward and empowerment—we are reminded of the high honor and security we have as sons and daughters of God, not slaves.
What has God called every Christian to do? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Hebrews 10:23–25 to explore our vital responsibility to strengthen others in the faith.
