In Week 1 of our series "Finished," Pastor Matt begins his journey as the new lead pastor at Integrity Church by exploring the concept of true rest in the finished work of Jesus. Drawing from Hebrews 4:9-16, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and Exodus 31:12, we discover that while our hearts are restless, Jesus offers a rest that goes beyond mere relaxation. Through repentance and surrender, we can experience the gift of rest that only Jesus can provide. Join us as we learn to find peace in what Christ has already accomplished.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

A high priest stands before the altar, his robes heavy with the weight of his office. He carries the blood of another—an offering for the sins of the people, sins that he himself shares. Year after year, sacrifice after sacrifice, the cycle never ends. But what if—what if—a priest came who needed no sacrifice for himself? One who could stand before God, not in weakness, but in perfect righteousness? We don't have a distant Savior; we have a great High Priest who knows our weakness yet is without sin. Because of Him, we can boldly approach God's throne of grace. The Rev. LeRoy LaPlant, pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd and headmaster of Concordia Classical Academy in North Mankato, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 4:14-5:10. 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.

The promise of rest still stands—but are we entering it? Hebrews reminds us that the same good news given to Israel is for us. Israel stood on the brink of the Promised Land, hearing the promise of rest, but many fell short because they did not receive it in faith. The message of Hebrews 4 is clear: God's rest is still open, and His Word is still speaking. It doesn't just inform—it cuts, sharper than any sword, dividing what is seen from what is hidden, what is real from what is merely outward, but it also points to the one who saves and redeems, and offers us eternal rest in Him. The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 4:1-13. 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.

Hebrews 4 continues the author's stark warning that if we are not careful we may fall away. That may seem at odds with the assurance we find in the words of Paul, but when read through the lens of Hebrews 3:14 we see that our confidence and our need for vigilance are part of a whole. That is because faith is more than a modernist intellectual assent, it is a commitment that both demands and inspires behavior that reflects our faith. 作者在希伯來書第四章,繼續嚴厲警告:如果我們不小心,很有可能會墮落。這似乎與我們在保羅的話語中找到的保證不一致,但當我們透過希伯來書 3:14 的視角來閱讀時,我們會發現我們的信心和警惕的需要,其實是一個整體的一部分。這是因為信仰不僅僅是一種現代主義人士的知識認同,它更是一種要求並同時激發我們對於信仰委身的一種體現。

Episode Summary:In this episode of The Bold Apologia Podcast, we enter into a deep dive into the doctrine of justification with a message straight from Hebrews 4: Stop Striving, Start Trusting: The Promise Still Stands. Many believers today struggle with assurance, feeling as though they must work to maintain God's favor. But the truth of justification is that salvation is entirely the work of God, not of human effort.Drawing from Hebrews 4, we explore how Israel's unbelief kept them from entering God's rest and how many Christians today fall into the same trap—striving to earn what Christ has already secured. The call of Scripture is clear: trust in Christ's finished work, rest in His grace, and approach the throne of God with confidence.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:✔ The Burden of Striving – Why so many believers struggle to rest in their justification✔ Hebrews 4 Explained – A verse-by-verse breakdown of what it means to enter God's rest✔ The Danger of Unbelief – How Israel's failure to trust in God's promise serves as a warning to us today✔ Jesus, Our Greater High Priest – Why we can confidently rest in Christ's completed work✔ Practical Application – What it looks like to stop striving and start trustingKey Scriptures: • Ephesians 2:8-9 – Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works • Romans 10:3 – The danger of trying to establish our own righteousness • Hebrews 4 – The call to enter God's rest through faith • John 19:30 – “It is finished” – The finality of Christ's redemptive work • Psalm 95:11 – A warning from Israel's unbelief • Colossians 2:16 – True rest is found in Christ, not religious works • Hebrews 4:16 – Approaching God's throne of grace with confidenceQuotes from the Episode: • “You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.” – Jonathan Edwards • “Justification is the hinge the entire gospel swings on.” • “True faith does not merely hear God's promise—it enters into it.” • “We work FROM approval, not FOR approval!”Reflection Questions: 1. Are there areas in your life where you feel like you're striving instead of trusting in God's grace? 2. What strongholds or fears are keeping you from fully resting in Christ's finished work? 3. Hebrews 4:16 calls us to approach God's throne with confidence—what burden do you need to bring before Him today?Takeaway:The promise still stands—God's rest is available today. If you've been feeling the weight of striving to earn God's favor, let this episode be a reminder: Stop striving, start trusting. Jesus has already done the work. Will you enter into His rest?Music: Abstract StyleMusician: QubeSoundsURL: https://pixabay.com/music/abstract-style-121455/%E2%80%8E

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt continues our sermon series on Hebrews, preaching from Hebrews 4:14-5:10, emphasizing two main commands: "hold fast" and "draw near." He highlights that believers facing trials and cultural pressures should firmly hold onto their confession of faith, openly affirming Jesus as their Savior, even when it's difficult. Jesus, as our "great high priest," uniquely qualifies for this role because He is sinless, fully human, and has personally experienced trials and temptations. Jesus learned obedience through suffering, showing believers how to faithfully endure their own hardships by trusting, honestly expressing their desires, and ultimately surrendering their will to God.Furthermore, believers are invited to confidently "draw near" to God, trusting Jesus' sympathy and gentleness toward human weakness. Unlike humans who often respond harshly or critically, Jesus responds with compassion. This gentle, sympathetic posture invites Christians to approach God's "throne of grace" freely, expecting mercy and timely help in their moments of need.
