In this sermon on Hebrews 13:1–21, Pastor Benjamin Kandt explores how unshakeable faith takes root in everyday life. As the letter to the Hebrews draws to a close, the author turns from theological depth to practical exhortation — calling the church to live with love, hospitality, sexual integrity, contentment, and respect for spiritual leaders. Pastor Benjamin unpacks how these ordinary, often overlooked practices are actually extraordinary when grounded in Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.”The sermon culminates in the majestic benediction of verses 20–21, where God is revealed as the One who equips His people through the risen Christ, our Great Shepherd. Pastor Benjamin reminds us that the Christian life is not lived in our own strength, but in the power of God's grace, enabling us to do His will. This message invites us to embody our theology in community — living out gospel truth in love, sacrifice, and faithful obedience.
Hebrews 13:9-14 – Eternal City Living
Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus
Hebrews 13:7 + 17 – Leaders
There is a gift of grace that God has placed on your life and He wants you to use it. The divine invitation extended to each of us is this: step into the unique role God has designed for us in His Body. In this powerful message, Hayley Braun calls the Church to attention, reminding us that we're not meant to spectate—we're meant to take our place. The grace of God is more than favor, it's His empowering presence resting on your life to do what you could never do on your own. When we recognize and honor the grace He's placed on ourselves and others, the Body begins to move in unity and power. There's a grace gift on your life, and the world needs you to use it. Get ready to wake up to what's been entrusted to you!

Pastor David preaches from Hebrews 13:20-25Three Desires for the Believer:(vv. 20-12) They are equipped.(v. 22) They are exhorted.(vv. 23-25) They are engaged.
In the message, "EQUIPPED," Pastor Rich Whitter unpacks Hebrews 13:20–21, highlighting the God who not only calls us but thoroughly equips us for every good work. As our church's new benediction, these verses remind us that the resurrected Jesus—the Great Shepherd of the sheep—continually works in us what is pleasing in His sight. Pastor Rich emphasizes that we are not left to figure out life or faith on our own; instead, through Christ's power, we are made ready, strengthened, and sent with purpose.This powerful reminder assures us that God Himself is our source of strength and success. Pastor Rich urges us to live confidently, knowing that the same God who raised Jesus from the dead is actively shaping us for His glory. The message concludes with a call to rely on His ongoing work within us, embracing each day as an opportunity to walk fully equipped by the grace and power of Christ.We hope this message inspires you to trust that God is faithfully preparing you—today and every day—for the good works He has set before you. As we declare this new benediction together, may it anchor your heart in the unshakable truth: He will finish what He has started in you.

“God’s Design For Marriage” by Jon Kile. Genesis 2:18-24; Hebrews 13:4)
“May he equip you with all you need for doing his will.” (Hebrews 13:21 NLT) Fear comes in many forms. Kathisophobia is the fear of sitting. Ablutophobia is the fear of bathing. Anuptaphobia is the fear of being single. Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Automatonophobia is the fear of ventriloquist dummies. I don’t know the name of the fear Jesus’ disciples experienced following the events of Good Friday through Easter, but it was real. And it was paralyzing. This small group of followers had an enormous task ahead of them, but they were in no condition to undertake it. In fact, they were hiding behind closed doors, scared, confused, and with no idea what their next step should be. So before He ascended to Heaven, Jesus appeared to His disciples several times to prepare them for what lay ahead. He eased their fear. He gave them the confidence they lacked. He gave them direction and purpose. He gave them hope. And He assured them that He would be with them, wherever they went and whatever they faced. Jesus equipped His followers to carry out His work. On one occasion, shortly after His resurrection, He miraculously appeared to a group of His disciples behind locked doors. But Thomas, one of the disciples, wasn’t part of the group. Later, when the others told him about their experience, Thomas refused to believe. “But he replied, ‘I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side’” (John 20:25 NLT). Eight days later, Jesus appeared again to His followers. This time Thomas was present. Jesus said to him, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!” (John 20:27 NLT). He wasn’t trying to embarrass Thomas. He was equipping him for the work ahead. If Thomas needed physical proof of Jesus’ resurrection, something he could experience with his own senses, Jesus was prepared to give it. Likewise, on the night Jesus was arrested, Peter failed Him miserably. Three times Peter had an opportunity to stand boldly with Jesus during His trial, and three times he denied even knowing Jesus. Jesus recognized how heavily that failure weighed on Peter. He didn’t want it to hinder or distract Peter from the role he was going to play in building the church and spreading the gospel. So Jesus restored Peter to ministry. In John 21, Jesus appeared to Peter on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Three times He asked Peter if he loved Him. Three times Peter answered yes. And three times Jesus instructed him to feed or take care of His lambs or sheep. With that simple exchange, Jesus undid the emotional and spiritual damage Peter had caused with his denials. Jesus equipped His disciples to change the world in His name. And He still equips His followers for service. He gives us what we need—whether it’s forgiveness, inspiration, wisdom, or courage—to strengthen our relationship with Him and encourage us to share His message with others. As the author of Hebrews wrote in the passage above: “May he equip you with all you need for doing his will” (NLT). Reflection question: How has the Lord equipped you to do His will?

Reject false teaching and cling to Christ no matter the cost.

This exposition focuses on Hebrews 13:7-9, emphasizing the characteristics of a faithful Christian. The passage encourages believers to remember their leaders who have spoken the Word of God, consider the outcome of their lives, and imitate their faith. It also highlights the unchanging nature of Jesus Christ and warns against being led away by diverse and strange teachings, urging Christians to be strengthened by grace.Key PointsRemembering Leaders: Christians are called to remember and consider their local leaders who faithfully teach God's Word. These leaders are examples of faith and practice, and their lives should reflect a love for and devotion to God's Word.Imitating Faith: Believers are encouraged to imitate the faith of their leaders, not because they are perfect, but because their lives point to Christ. This includes observing their doctrine and how they live it out.Christ's Unchanging Nature: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This truth provides stability and assurance for Christians, especially in times of hardship and change.Warning Against False Teachings: Christians are warned not to be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Instead, they should rely on the grace of God for spiritual strength, rather than outward practices or traditions.ApplicationPray for and support local church leaders who faithfully teach God's Word.Examine the lives and teachings of leaders to ensure they align with Scripture.Hold firmly to the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ and His Word.Be cautious of teachings that deviate from the gospel and rely on God's grace for spiritual growth.
As Hebrews comes to a close, we're reminded again: Jesus is our altar, our sacrifice, our High Priest. We are called to bear His reproach, to live in obedience, and to trust in God's work in us. This is no ordinary farewell—it's a final charge to stand firm in grace. Let's finish the race well. The Rev. Robert Smith, pastor emeritus in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 13:9-25. For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
