REFLECTIONThe movie Chariots of Fire depicts the battle between Harold Abrams and Eric Liddell. The two fastest men of that time, they raced against each other at the 1924 Paris Olympics. In the movie, Harold Abrams says, “I'm running the 100 yard dash because when that gun goes off I have 10 seconds to justify myself.” He worked hard to prove his worth and feel good about who he was. Eric Liddell says, “God made me fast and when I run I feel His pleasure.” He did not work to earn this pleasure. He worked to celebrate the God who loved him, delighted in him, and gave him a good gift. One man ran to earn his identity and value. The other man ran because he knew his identity and value. Two men working hard. One man was always weary even when resting. The other man was always resting even when working. Which do you want to be?

Every year there is a new epic movie or book that tells the story of heroism and salvation. We get sucked into the story because of it's many details and see ourselves in the characters. There is an epic story that is unmatched throughout time and has been told over and over, but have you stopped to wonder at the story of your own salvation from oblivion by Jesus. It is worth considering the work of salvation and how God brought this great gift through a child.Text: Hebrews 2:1-4Sermon Summary:Big Idea: Wonder at the salvation of God.Key Question: Why wonder at God's salvation?1.

This week, we take a look at Hebrews 11:1–3 and 6, where we see what true faith really looks like. Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Through faith, we understand that God created everything by His word. And without faith, it's impossible to please Him—because faith means trusting that He exists and rewards those who sincerely seek Him.Text: Hebrews 11:1-3 & 6Recorded October 19, 2025

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through Hebrews 10:26–39, a powerful reminder of the seriousness of turning away after knowing the truth. The author warns that rejecting Christ leaves no other sacrifice for sins - only the judgment we deserve. This passage also calls believers to endure in faith, remembering how we have already suffered for Christ and joyfully endured hardship for His sake. We're urged to hold that same confidence and keep pressing forward.Text: Hebrews 10:26-39

Endurance is not optional. Hebrews 10:32–36 calls believers to patient endurance that finishes the will of God.
