“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.” (Exodus 20:8–11 NLT) The fourth commandment has produced more confusion, misunderstanding, and hard feelings than any of the others. Let’s find out what it is and what it is not. It should be noted that this commandment was given specifically to Jewish people. The Sabbath—the seventh day of the week, Saturday—was to be a day of total rest. This command does not really apply in its literal form to a Christian living under the New Covenant. Let me give you a few fast facts about the fourth commandment to help explain why. Number one, it is the only commandment that is not repeated in the New Testament. Every other commandment is repeated; breaking the Sabbath is never mentioned. Number two, Jesus never taught anyone to keep the Sabbath. In fact, He Himself was accused of violating the Sabbath. That’s one of the reasons that He was crucified. The religious leaders had so perverted and twisted the meaning of the Sabbath that it was turned into a miserable religious mess. Because Jesus healed people on the Sabbath, those leaders accused Him of breaking the fourth commandment. Number three, the Sabbath was fulfilled in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. In Hebrews 4, we read, “So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest” (verses 9–11 NLT). The Sabbath foreshadowed what Christ would accomplish on the cross. All other world religions essentially say, “Do.” Christianity says, “Done.” Enter into that rest. Enter into the finished work of Jesus Christ. So, for Christians, the Sabbath is a day set apart for God and our relationship with Him. A day when we unplug from the distractions of life and recharge ourselves spiritually. A day to focus on who God is. A day to spend at church with family and friends. A day to think of the things of the Lord. When we “remember the Sabbath,” not only do we honor the Lord, but we also grow in our relationship with Him. Reflection question: What does observing the Sabbath—or the Lord’s Day—look like in your life?

Daily Dose of Hope September 9, 2025   Scripture – Luke 17:1-19   Prayer: Holy God, How amazing it is that we can come before you today.  You are God of all things, Lord of everything, and yet you care about each of us.  We give you glory and praise.  We thank you most of all for Jesus, who made it possible for us to walk hand in hand with a holy God.  Help us see today's Scripture through fresh eyes.  Keep teaching us, Lord.  Continue to reveal yourself to us.  We are open and grateful.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We are currently working our way through a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we start Luke 17.   As we start this chapter, Jesus is listing some pretty serious requirements for discipleship.  He warns against causing little ones (children, new believers, those who are vulnerable) to stumble.  He tells his followers that radical forgiveness is required toward one another. Jesus continues to remind his followers that being a disciple is life-changing in the most extreme way.    This obviously challenges the disciples.  They proclaim, “Increase our faith.”  Jesus' answer probably wasn't what they wanted to hear.  He tells them about just needing the faith of a mustard seed.  I picture the disciples rolling their eyes at this.  “Really, just a mustard seed-sized faith?  I feel like I need a bit more.”   So what was Jesus' point?  Faith isn't easily quantified.  It doesn't just magically increase with some special prayer.  Faith increases through our life experiences.  Faith increases only through practice, as we begin to trust God and see him come through for us.  Faith increases as we begin to see Jesus at work in our lives, giving us comfort, peace, and strength, in the good and bad times.  It's usually not a fast process.   How have you seen your faith grow through experience?  What kinds of things in the past few years have had the most impact on your faith journey with Jesus?   The next portion of today's reading is another miracle.  Jesus heals ten men with leprosy.  This is such a wonderful text!  A couple things to note...   First, Jesus told the men to show themselves to a priest while they still had leprosy. It was as they went that they were cured. If the priest examined them and they were no longer sick, then they were able to behave like normal people again, socialize, and live normal lives. Walking to the priests while they still had leprosy meant trusting God even when they didn't really have grounds to do so. They really didn't know what was going to happen. They could have gotten to the priests and still been sick and been yelled at or banned or worse. But they had faith and trusted Jesus.   That's a definition of faith–trusting in what we cannot prove. In Hebrews 11:1 it's described as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." If we want everything plain and clear before we take a step of faith, it's not really faith. Faith is trust, even when we don't understand and even when the evidence is against us.   It's interesting that the one who comes back is a Samaritan. As you know from previous readings, Samaritans were enemies of Jews; they hated each other. So why was he the one to come back, rather than the Jews? Maybe he had a deeper sense of what had been done for him. Maybe the Jewish men felt entitled, like they deserved a healing and the Samaritan man did not. Regardless, it speaks of God's grace to everyone. The men's healing doesn't depend on them coming back to say thanks. Jesus heals them anyway; it's not as if the healing of the other nine would be miraculously withdrawn because they didn't return. God does lots of good things for everyone, whether they acknowledge it or not. He makes the sun shine on the righteous and unrighteous and the rain fall on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45).   There are many people who are not Christians, but who are still blessed. At one level, Christians ought just to be the people who acknowledge what God's done for them, and turn back to say "Thank you." What do you need to thank God for? Even when circumstances are hard, we are called to spend time rejoicing in what God has blessed us with. It's so easy to fall into an attitude of negativity and complaining. But God wants us to have an attitude of gratitude, spending more time recognizing how he has healed us, blessed us, saved us, taken care of us, and loved us rather than focus on all the crummy stuff.   We will finish up chapter 17 tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki        

"Faith doesn't stop at what you see today—it looks ahead into what God has promised." In Hebrews 11, we read about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, whose faith wasn't rooted in comfort or certainty but in God's unfolding plan. Pastor David Grobler shows us that real faith is forward-looking—it trusts God even when the promises haven't yet materialized. Faith is not measured by success, wealth, or recognition. It's seen when you keep believing, keep serving, and keep obeying—even if your own dream feels delayed. True faith steps into God's bigger story across generations.

What is faith? Faith is conquering through God. In Hebrews eleven, we see that judges and prophets, by faith, became warriors who conquered the enemies of God. It is no different today, faith will make you a conqueror through God.

In Hebrews 10:26–31, we encounter one of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture. The writer reminds us of the danger of deliberate sin, the certainty of God's judgment, and the fearfulness of His holiness. But this warning is not meant to rob us of joy. It's meant to protect us from disaster and point us back to the only safe place: Jesus Christ.In this message, we unpack this powerful passage to help us understand: • The reality of willful rebellion and why it's so dangerous • The seriousness of rejecting Christ's sacrifice • The hope and mercy that are still available in the hands of our living GodThis is a call to self-examination, repentance, and reverence. It's a reminder that God's warnings are acts of grace, leading us not to despair, but to salvation through His Son.

“For they {Earthly Parents} disciplined us for a short time . . . but he {God} disciplines us for our good, that we may share his {God's} holiness" (Hebrews 12:10) MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Lord disciplines his children; therefore, so should we. Our discipline can take many forms, for example: 1) teach children a lesson, even hard lessons; and 2) it is OK to take away children's privileges. The Lord's discipline is out of love; and our discipline, for our children, should, also, be out of our love. Nobody likes discipline -- we do not like it; our kids do not like it. However, discipline works to bring righteousness and peace, and discipline brings fruit to us and our children down the road. In Hebrews 12:7-10, the author of Hebrews succinctly describes the Biblical perspective regarding discipline: It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as {His} sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they {Earthly Parents} disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he {God} disciplines us for our good, that we may share his {God's} holiness.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence.

In Hebrews, Jesus Christ is described as being different than all the sacrifices that preceded Him. All of them failed to take away sin. They could turn aside the wrath of God for a season, but they would never make the person who was offering it righteous. Then Christ came, and He was different. He actually took away sin. He actually took men who were slaves to sin and set them free. He ended sin's power in their life and brought them to liberty.In this episode, we want to look at what it means to be free in Christ. So many people claim that Christian liberty means that we can do what we want to do, but this is not how God's Word describes it. Christian liberty is freedom to do what is right. It is the man who goes from being completely unable to choose righteousness to being able to glorify God in everything he does. One of the ideas that we want to discuss throughout the episode is how vast and broad the freedom that God gives to those who are His servants. Slavery to sin all leads to the same, solitary place, eternal death. But righteousness leads ever higher and deeper into the boundless glory of service to God.Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:03:54 Definition of Christian Liberty00:12:07 Saved to walk in faith00:16:06 Delivery from present evil age00:18:46 Break bondage to the world00:22:08 Not in bondage to Satan00:24:38 Not in bondage to sin00:31:10 Sin is progressively defeated00:34:28 Free from the need for vengance00:38:33 Freedom in trials00:41:27 Free from fear of death00:46:45 Death becomes a blessing00:49:30 Free access to God01:00:35 New covenant gives more freedom to obeyProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

What does it mean to live as a confident Christian?In Hebrews 10:19–25, we see three life-changing calls for every believer: • Draw near to God with confidence • Hold fast to the hope we have in Christ • Encourage one another toward love and good worksIn this message, we unpack how the finished work of Jesus gives us full access to God, anchors us in His unshakable promises, and calls us to walk in loving community. Whether you're feeling spiritually distant, weary in your faith, or disconnected from others, this passage offers the encouragement you need to keep moving forward.

Why is God letting this happen to me? In times of suffering, it's natural for us to ask questions like that. In Hebrews 12, the writer doesn't give us every answer we're looking for, but he does encourage us to fix our eyes on Jesus, who not only helps us understand the purpose of our suffering, but who suffered himself and promises to be with us in our suffering.

[The homilist was away on August 3.] 2025 Aug 10 SUN: NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Wis 18: 6-9/ Ps 33: 1. 12. 18-19. 20-22 (12b)/ Heb 11: 1-2. 8-19/ Lk 12: 32-48 About 60 years ago, there was a popular song that began "Don't Know Much About History." Well, as we think about that opening line, we must understand that you and I, in fact, must know much about history. There are people who say that history repeats itself. We've heard people say that it doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme -- an interesting thought. And we also heard it said that those who do not know the mistakes of the past will be condemned to repeat them. So we have all these ideas about history, and in the case of believers in Jesus Christ, we understand that God intervenes in our history in surprising ways. We start today considering Old Testament times. In Hebrews, we do have an account of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who came to know God. And in the case of Abraham and Sarah, it came about in a most remarkable way by their having a son, Isaac, in their old age.  The Book of Wisdom describes the Exodus from the slavery of the children of Israel in Egypt. Again, God is intervening in human history in a surprising way. And then we come to the Gospel, and we understand that these words of Jesus have to do with His bringing all things to completion. You know, we talk about that quite a bit during the season of Advent. People talk about the end of the world, and the idea that seems to be behind that is, well, everything's over, but that's not what it means. When we come to what we call the last day, it is the last day because time is over, and we enter into timelessness. And we forever will be able to praise our God. We will be able to behold Him.  Now, again, we tend to think of this as somewhat forbidding, rather scary. We think of a judgment, and we imagine that we will just squeeze in by a hair. But we have to consider what is going on in this Gospel passage, in this parable. Jesus is setting up a situation in which we imagine ourselves as servants at some great estate. And we are hoping that it appears to the Master that we are at our jobs, and we hope that He will look favorably upon us and not fire us and allow us to keep our jobs. Jesus is describing something utterly different. He is saying that when the Master meets the servants, He will surprise them. He will say, "I am so happy to see you that I want you to recline at the table, and I will wait on you." That's something we do not expect. But if we are truly to appreciate the love that our God has for us, we need to reflect on that idea. So as we think about the course of history and our brief moments within it, we remember that time is followed by timelessness. And that timelessness as we gaze upon the loving face of our God forever will be filled with great joy.

Continuing from Day 3's message on Christ our Passover, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches on the significance of the blood and how it links directly to communion (Exodus 12:21 NKJV).The Power of the BloodFrom Leviticus 17:11, Pastor Shola explains that what keeps one alive is the blood running through them; the blood of the person is the person's life.-Life is in the blood-We have boldness (1 John 1:7, Hebrews 10:19)-The blood represents ransom, blood is a purchasing power-Blood is a system of continuity-Blood is used to appeaseHe also indicated The Journey of the Blood and Its Uses:Examining Genesis 3:21 TPT and the covering of Adam and Eve, we observe that blood speaks (Hebrews 12:24). According to Genesis 15:12–21 NKJV and Jeremiah 34:18 NKJV, Pastor Shola demonstrates that appropriating the blood rightly is where we derive benefit from it.According to Hebrews 9:22 NKJV, the blood had to be shed, and all things are purified with blood. In Hebrews 9:23-28 NKJV, we see that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.Pastor Shola further points to Isaiah 61:1-2 NKJV, noting that it was after the blood came out that Jesus exhausted Himself and declared, “It is finished.”What the Blood of Jesus Did for Us-You are no longer a stranger to the covenant of promise (Hebrews 8:6 - the covenant of -promise is the promise with Abraham)-You are cleansed from sin-We are reconciled to Him (Colossians 1:20)-We have redemption (Ephesians 1:7)-Our conscience is cleared (Hebrews 9:14)Pastor Shola concludes tonight's teaching by emphasizing that the blood of Jesus is not just symbolic - it is the life of God released for our redemption. Applying the blood is how we step into covenant promises, walk in boldness, and live in the full benefits of what Christ has purchased for us.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In Hebrews 10:25, we're told to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Today's message is all about the Holy Habit of meeting together — not for attendance's sake, but for spiritual survival.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

Christ Jesus is a complete and perfect Savior, who gives us confidence. In Hebrews 10:19-25, we learn three ways God calls his people to live in light of that confidence.

"Faith moves you into places you've never been—before you even know where they lead." In Hebrews 11, we read that Abraham obeyed God and “went out, not knowing where he was going.” In this message, Pastor David Grobler challenges us to trust God beyond the safety of what's familiar. Faith isn't stationary—it moves you into the unknown, anchored only by the certainty of God's Word and His power. The unknown is not your enemy; it's the ground where faith grows. When God calls, you don't need the full map—you need to know Him.

Changing your mindset isn't easy—but it can change everything. In Hebrews 9, we're invited to move from religious ritual to real relationship, from barriers to breakthrough, and from law to liberty through Jesus. This message is an invitation to stop striving and start living in the forgiveness, full access to God and freedom that Christ secured for us.

In Hebrews 10:22, because of the work of Jesus our Great High Priest, now the writer encourages us to "Draw near to God" with true hearts, and in full assurance of faith. Are we taking advantage of our free and unrestricted access to God? Are we drawing near to God with true, truthful, sincere, and single hearts? Is our confidence in Christ such that we are assured of our access to God through Christ? Is our assurance based on the work of Jesus who is our Great High Priest?

During our summer preaching series on the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), Baz shares about Faithfulness. In Hebrews 11, we read of a great Hall of Fame of people of faith. In this message Baz asks, what does it take to make the list? Abel was generous, Noah was obedient. Abraham obeyed even when he did not understand, and Sara believed the truth over fact.

Thanks to Mitch for the prayer last week.   This year I realized some important lessons that have always been present but I was unable to understand.  You may not hear what I am trying to say either but I know you will in time.  If you have an ear, please hear.   the stuff that happens to us from the cradle to the grave not only shows us the presence of God but that we are connected like a piece of fabric to each other.  Our lives are intertwined. Imagine a loom potholder you made in summer camp with those big loops. It was of many colors and the patterns change the older it gets. The stains that we have don't come out always but make a pattern we don't see.  Sometimes others can see it clearer. The stains are the things that happen to us.  All of us go through some of the same things even if we don't share the extent or the facts.   Why it happens is that we belong to the same maker who knows what each of us represent better than we do.  He knows that what happens to you, will give you the opportunity to either curse or bless.  You have a choice. If you bless, it won't erase what you are going through but will take you through more loops. You are an influencer if you are connected to His will. Even our tragedies, give us the opportunities unknowingly usually.   I recently found out that a friend of mines brother attempted to kill himself. He blew a massive hole in his head. For as much as I know, he suffered his whole life from addictions, schizophrenia, and a every mental malady you can name.  He is still alive. Horrific right?  What in the world could God be thinking?  I don't know. I don't know but I am watching. I am observing what is happening from afar.  My friend is publicly questioning God. He has written so. He is now asking for prayer for his parents, that I don't think were together. His mother has flown from somewhere to be by her son.  Her son is able to respond to her touch. The doctors have closed up "Rauls" skull and he is doing better than I would have expected seeing the before photos. But guess what? I am not in control of anything. My friend is the founder of a large international motorcycle club. Believers are calling, praying and donating money he asked for in his GoFundMe appeal to help with his elderly parents travel expenses. I never heard of his brother before. He is sorrowful for how he treated him in the past. If you can look pasted the horrific event, look at the people that this has touched. and continues to touch. In detective work, that is called a clue. god is working, we just don't always see it.   personally, I had a member of this podcast ministry welcome me into their home for some R&R. Another, flew all the way here to take me to see me, and another let me drag him to church.  God inspired these folks to think it not robbery to help me. I didn't and don't even know what I need.   look at your life. Look at who you touch. Who you bless. Who is blessed by your help, your encouragement, your prayers to God. Look at me, at times I felt like I am all over the place. Guess that put me in the perfect position to have you talk to your heavenly Father on my behalf.  You unselfishly won't even pray for yourself but you prayed for me, a stranger, a rogue pistol packing preacher, a dude with more issues than Field and Stream.  Oddly enough, just as many talents and gifts it seems. WHO would that come from, Jehovah, Yahweh, Adonai, Elohim, the Most High, the Holy One of Israel, the A and O,   we are all in this together, all of our life isn't tragedy and tears, there are good times, and fun in there too. but its life. the good and the bad. the sunny days and the cloudy ones.    And we are not supposed to try to do it alone.  You are part of this Loom.  This ugly ass potholder only a Father could love. You don't understand why stuff happens like it does. I don't know why. I just know that HE is. He doesn't need you to believe in Him but He wants you too.   We do a lot of unnecessary crap and call it church. Church isn't the problem it is us. You and I are the church. that is why it is raggedy. We are looking for escapes, entertainment and ethos. (good feelings) Ain't none of that a biblical requirement. We make up stuff and get comfortable with it. And then we wonder why the golden plates, holy water, scented candles, chants, pendants, rocks, numbers, astrological signs,  alcohol, dope, sex, work, and retail therapy doesn't work.   In the midst of my mess there is a message.  in the midst of my conundrum I am becoming something more than I was. I am changing. I am growing. Not only my feet and hat size has increased. I am not the same guy I was 4 years ago.   I have a sneaking suspicion, I ain't by myself.  the Loom is bigger. you are connected to more people, or if not more, someone important to God. you matter. What you are going through brings others to loop in with you. What you have makes the pattern complete.  Your stains color the design.  It's an intelligent design by the way.   just like there are bacteria in your mouth that help break down the French fries you left in there, there is reason known only to God for the stuff in yours, ours, my life.   and what is the purpose of a potholder anyway? it helps protect your hands from getting burned.   Throughout the Bible, fire is often used as a metaphor for testing and refinement, purifying individuals or situations. It can also represent the intense passion and zeal that believers should have for God and His Word.   Fire holds significant symbolic meaning in the Bible. It represents purification, judgment, and the presence of God. In Hebrews 12:29, it is written, “For our God is a consuming fire.” This verse highlights the power and holiness associated with fire.   And you know you can't handle that Fire on your own. We need Jesus.  

In Hebrews 12, Christians are called to keep running the race of faith in spite suffering. Craig Ford brings this message of encouragement as he shows us the reward of faithfulness. (7/20/25)

As we close out our prophetic word about entering the Lord's rest, we cover the truth about our inheritance in Christ.  In Hebrews 3:14, it tells us that we receive it if we stand firm until the end.  Today, we give insights on how to ensure your full inheritance.  

A legacy doesn't start later—it starts now. In Hebrews 11, we meet the heroes of faith who walked in obedience and trusted God with the outcome. How will your faith impact the next generation?

Tuesday, 1 July 2025   For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Matthew 11:13   “For all the prophets and the law, until John, they prophesied” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told those with Him, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens, it is forced, and forcers, they seize it.” Now, He continues, saying, “For all the prophets and the law.”   The word “for” is given to explain the previous verse. The coming of Jesus as Messiah, which signified the coming of the kingdom of the heavens, was prophesied in advance. It was the great anticipation of the people. This is so obvious from Scripture that even the Samaritans understood it –   “The woman said to Him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming' (who is called Christ). ‘When He comes, He will tell us all things.' 26 Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am He.'” John 4:25, 26   With such high anticipation, when John came on the scene proclaiming that the kingdom was at hand, the people rushed towards the news, forcing themselves into the body of others desirous of obtaining the promise.   As for the term, “the prophets and the law,” it is a thought repeated eleven times in the New Testament. However, this is the only time it mentions the prophets first. The reason for the change is that Jesus is focusing on John's prophetic ministry first and foremost.   The law anticipated the coming of the Messiah in an almost innumerable number of times in types and shadows. It also has explicit references to Him, such as the Prophet noted in Deuteronomy 18:15-22.   However, Moses was a prophet as well as the lawgiver. It is the words of the prophets, including the giving of the law, that anticipated the coming of the Messiah. That line of prophets is referred to by Jesus next, saying, “until John, they prophesied.”   Jesus is clearly stating that the role of the prophet heralding the coming of the Messiah ends with John. Prophecies continue in the New Testament, but the words pointing to Jesus' coming find their termination with John.   In Revelation 11, it says –   “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” Revelation 11:3   These two witnesses of the future will testify to the Messiah who has come. They will be a witness to Israel and the world at large that what is recorded about John here is the truth. His prophecies and proclamations focused on the entrance of the new dispensation that was about to be revealed.   Life application: In the book of Hebrews, the author provides minute detail concerning the effects of Jesus' work. He is so specific and so pinpointed in his words that it is incredible that people who read the book cannot seem to grasp what is being conveyed.   For example, the Hebrew Roots Movement adherents call what Jesus did a “renewed covenant,” not a New Covenant. The implication, followed by explicit teaching by them, is that the Law of Moses is renewed and adherents must abide by it.   In Hebrews 7 (for example), the author clearly teaches against such a ridiculous thought –   “Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. 13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For He testifies: ‘You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.' 18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.” Hebrews 7:11-19   This is one of several examples of the clear and precise teaching by the author that completely refutes the heresy of Mosaic Law observance. The words are black ink on white paper, and their intended meaning will be evident to anyone willing to pick up the book and read it.   The law prophesied of its own termination. The prophets referred to that coming day multiple times. John called out that the time for Messiah to come had arrived. And yet, here we are, over two thousand years later, missing the mark on who Jesus is and what He accomplished! Pay heed to the word. For those who find Jesus, it is life. For those who find law observance (because they failed to heed what is said), there will be condemnation.   “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:4   Lord God, how can our world be so filled with Bibles, the most published book in all of human history, and yet be so illiterate in what it says? Help us to be willing to put in the time and effort it takes to read, study, and understand this precious gift. May we not be negligent in seeking out its glorious pages that tell us of Jesus and what He has done for us. Amen.

In Hebrews 6 the writer describes the hope we have in God as an Anchor for our Souls. In the midst of so much uncertainty, change and turmoil in our world, it is so important to be continually reminded of how God's promises can be the anchor that keeps us grounded and hopeful for our future in Him.

What is faith? Faith is a shout of victory in the midst of a battle that the Lord has already won for you. In Hebrews chapter eleven verse thirty we see that faith is when Joshua and Israel obeyed the peculiar instructions of marching around Jericho and on the seventh day letting out a shout. As odd as these battle instructions were, since they were ordered of the Lord they brought them the victory!

Every promise finds its "yes" in Jesus. In Hebrews 9–10, we reflect on how Christ's sacrifice was complete, final, and fully sufficient. There's nothing more we need to earn—He paid it all.

When Facing Difficult Circumstances, Look to Jesus as Our Great High Priest MESSAGE SUMMARY: Introduction – Why don't we go to God when things get difficult? Jesus is Our Great High Priest; and we have access to Him, at any time, through prayer. Today's Message – In the Jewish Temple Worship, the Great High Priest was called by God from the Jewish Tribe of Levi; and he represented the people before God, and he represented God to the people. However, the Great High Priest of the Temple was human and a sinner, thereby, requiring sacrifices to God daily to atone for his own sin as well as the sins of the people of the Temple. Jesus, like the Temple's Great High Priest, was appointed by God; but Jesus represented all humanity before God through His prayers. Also, Jesus represented God, His Father, to the people through His preaching and teaching. Additionally, and like the Temple's Great high Priest, Jesus provided a sacrifice to God for the sins of the people. However, Jesus sacrifice was permanent and “once offered for the sins of the whole world” and forever. In Hebrews 5:9-10, the author of Hebrews tells us that: “{Jesus} And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.". Jesus priesthood, unlike the Temple's Great High Priest, was a “permanent Priesthood” with limitless power. Therefore, Jesus is able offer complete Salvation to all that come to Him. Again, the author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 7:26-27, presents how Jesus, is Our Great High Priest and how Jesus differs from the Temple's Great Hight Priest: “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He {Jesus} has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.". Since Jesus is Our great High Priest, the author of Hebrews admonishes us, in Hebrews 4:16, to hold fast to Jesus as Our great High Priest and to not let go. In Hebrews 4:15-16, we are told why we are so privileged with Jesus as Our Great High Priest: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.". Since Jesus has been designated by God as Our Great High Priest for our intercessions with God, we have Jesus, as Our Great High Priest in our times off difficulties and needs. Therefore, when times get difficult for us, we have no excuse for not going Our Great High Priest, Jesus, with troubles. Through Our great High Priest, God is merciful and full of grace; and God will meet our needs.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift!

In Hebrews 10:19-25 we are encouraged to keep running our race of faith by drawing near to God, by holding fast to our confession of hope, by stirring up one another to love and good works, and by continuing to gather as God's church, all because of the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus and the never-ending faithfulness of God to his promises.

Surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us . . . run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. — Hebrews 12:1-2 Each year, our church community holds a solemn celebration. We set up tables at the front of the church and place unlit candles on them. Church members come forward with photos of loved ones who have died. One by one, people approach the microphone, announce the name of a loved one, and light a candle. Sometimes they also share a story. We've lit candles for grandmothers who died of natural causes, young men killed on the streets, babies lost to miscarriage, and loved ones taken by overdoses. Each name carries a story; each candle represents a life that touched ours. God's family includes not only we who are living right now but also the many who came before us and who have gone on to eternity. They live on in the stories we tell, and it's important to stop and remember them. In Hebrews 11 we find many examples of people who make up the “great cloud of witnesses” who have gone before us. All of these examples encourage us to walk in faith. We all do well to pause and remember: Who came before you? Who inspired you? Who are the people for whom you are grateful, knowing that God sent them to be part of your faith journey? Take a moment to name them and to thank God for each one. Father, we thank you for all who have gone before us, paving the way with faith and sacrifice. May their legacy inspire us to walk humbly and serve others, reflecting your love and grace. Amen.

In Hebrews 10:32-34, the author encourages believers to recall their past endurance through suffering and persecution, reminding them of their confidence in God's promises. This reflection strengthens their resolve to persevere in faith, trusting in the eternal reward that awaits them.

In Hebrews 11, the so-called "faith hall of fame" includes heroic figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, the judges, the prophets and the people of God. These people were exemplary in their dependence upon Yahweh. And yet, Jesus claims in Luke 7:1-10 that there's another person whose faith might be greater than them all. And of all people, it's a Roman centurian. Wait...what?"I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." - JesusWhat was so remarkable to Jesus about the faith of this man? What can his faith show us about our own?

In Hebrews 1:4-7, we see the clear distinction between Jesus and the angels—while angels are servants, Jesus is the Son, exalted above all. God commands the angels to worship Him, emphasizing His divine authority and supremacy. This passage reminds us that Jesus is greater than anything in creation, and our worship belongs to Him alone.

Our generation, more than ever before, struggles to have any long term hope and vision of the future! The way ahead looks increasingly uncertain making the warning of Jesus about attitudes in the last days more and more evident, “Watch yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap … stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things …” [Luke 21 v.34-36]All 3 of our readings today contain lessons that are in some way relevant. Joshua (ch. 18) reprimands 7 of the 12 tribes for making no progress in settling in the land, “How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?” [v.3] How many are baptised (in a sense crossing the Jordan) but then make no real progress?The LORD gives Isaiah (ch. 24) an awesome word picture of his ultimate dismay, anger and actions toward a world that “lies defiled under its inhabitants' so that “a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt” [v.5,6] This creates a time when “all joy has grown dark” [v.11] and “its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again.”[v.20]And so “on that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven”[v.21], that is, all who have enjoyed prominence and did what the people wanted, leading them astray, morally and in every other way. All will be “ashamed, for the LORD of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and his glory will be before his elders” [v.23] This time is beyond our imagining! How wonderful to be an elder!In Hebrews “the unchangeable character of his (God's) purpose” [6 v.17] is emphasized and Paul's “desire (that) each one of you … show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish …” [v.11] like the 7 tribes Joshua reprimanded; but instead have “full assurance.”.Let us more than ever desire to read and meditate on God's word to help us fully develop that “assurance” – only there will we find “strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us” [v.18]Hebrews ch. 7 stresses that Jesus is our High Priest and “he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” [v.25] We all need the “intercession” of Jesus to help us to “hold fast” and increase our clear vision through constantly reading in the divine

In Hebrews 3, the author reminds us that Jesus is greater than Moses, worthy of even greater honor as the Son over God's house. We're urged to guard our hearts against unbelief and to hold firmly to our confidence in Christ until the end.

God's Word is alive—and it speaks straight to our hearts. In Hebrews 4–5, we encounter the truth that both convicts and comforts. Learn how the Word and Jesus, our High Priest, meet us in every struggle.

In Hebrews 6:12 we read that "faith and patience inherit the promises”—or in other words, trusting in God means waiting. In this message Jake Chambers, pastor of Local Church, looks to the story of Abram and Sarah in Genesis 16 to unpack the messy and frequently painful fallout of taking matters into our own hands when we feel God isn't coming through for us—but also God's incredible patience with us even when we're impatient with him.

The second half of Hebrews 5 challenges us to move past infancy and continue our spiritual growth. In Hebrews 6 we'll study strong warnings that describe what happens to people who abandon their faith and reject God.

What does it mean to live as a child of God? In Hebrews 3 we're told that Jesus lived as a son while Moses lived as a servant, how can follow the lead of Jesus and live into our true identity as sons and daughters? Pastor Chris teaches on the nature of sonship and the importance of living out our standing in God.

In Hebrews 1, the author declares that Jesus is God's ultimate revelation, far greater than the prophets and angels. He is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, reigning with all authority and power.

In Hebrews 2, we're warned not to drift away from the truth we've heard, but to hold firmly to the salvation offered through Christ. The chapter highlights how Jesus became fully human to suffer, save, and help us, making Him the perfect Savior and High Priest.

In Hebrews 8, God says: “I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts… I will be their God, and they will be My people.” This is not a temporary deal—it's a forever covenant. Forever house. Forever presence. Sealed by the Spirit, promised by the Father, and bought by the Son, you're not guessing if you belong. You're not earning your place. You're already home. Hear the Spirit's voice reminding you: You are sealed. You are included. You are empowered. You are family. You don't need to chase a feeling—you've been sealed with a Person. This is your moment to respond to His vow.

In this sermon, we explored the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16 and how it powerfully foreshadows what Christ would ultimately accomplish through His perfect sacrifice. While the high priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year to offer sacrifices for the people's sins, this ritual was only a temporary covering and had to be repeated year after year. In Hebrews 10, we studied Jesus emerging as the hero in God's story of redemption, offering His own blood as the ultimate sacrifice, one that secures eternal redemption for all who believe. Unlike the sacrifices of animals, Jesus' sacrifice was once for all, fully sufficient to cleanse you from sin and remove your guilt forever. There was no need for it to be repeated. When He declared, "It is finished," He proclaimed that His sacrifice would be the final and complete atonement for our sins. Because of this, we are invited to confidently enter into God's presence every day.

In Hebrews 10, believers are encouraged and exhorted to continue on in three specific things: drawing near to God, holding fast to hope, and stirring up the church. But how many of us lack confidence in doing these things? I want us to look to the cross and the words found in Hebrews 10, and to be moved in doing these things.

Every day is for them like an enemy decided to torture them to death. They are not allowed to speak to the other inmates of the cell. They are forbidden to cough, to laugh, or to weep. If a prisoner has to cough, he must say to the warden who continually spies on him "Bau-gau," which means "Please give me permission." It is "Bau-gau" for spitting, for scratching oneself, for killing vermin. (Not exactly: to baogao is tomake a report or confess) If all at once or someone in the cell goes mad and begins to sing, the rest have to sit motionless, while their fellow-prisoner is silenced through beatings. And how could they help him? They have chains on their hands and feet. In Hebrews 13:3 it is written, "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them." Try to sit six hours like this, motionless, on the floor (in prison, it is on the cold concrete), to see how your brethren fare! They endure not only this physical suffering and food which has the taste of sawdust. They suffer from doubts, too. "Why did my Heavenly Father allow me to come here?" Our brethren bear all this for Christ's sake.

Hebrews was written to people who have been shaken by life. Difficulties and sufferings have shaken them to the core.  The writer is trying to help them find ways to face the brutal realities of life, to stand solid when everything around them is falling apart. In Hebrews 12, we have the climax. The writer pulls together all of the threads and says, “In an unstable world, here is how you can live an unshakeable life.” This passage depicts 1) the shakable life, 2) the unshakeable life, and 3) how to receive that unshakeable life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 17, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-29.
