Sunday Morning 2/16/2025

Speaker Chris Vincent - Sunday, February 9, 2025From Chris:In the neighborhood I grew up in, there was a house that backed up to mine that was very ominous.  It was fenced off, had signs that said "No Trespassing" and a dog that would bark at any and everything that approached the property.  It was not inviting and in the mind of us kids, it was almost scary to approach it.  Many of our baseballs, kickballs, and frisbees found their way into the fenced area...never to be seen again.This image of a closed off and unapproachable place is an idea that Hebrews 12 picks up on when trying to explain the Old Covenant when compared to the New Covenant we enter into with Jesus.  The language is powerful and helps us deepen our understanding of who God is and why this New Covenant is so powerful.  Here, Hebrews 12 uses the image of two mountains to explain our covenant with God.  How does a mountain filled with darkness and gloom explain God to us better?  Is one mountain supposed to be better than the other?  How do these two mountains explain the Gospel on a deeper level?  In this sermon we explore Hebrews 12 and see how our experience of approaching Jesus can be explained using Two Mountains.  

Pastor Chris preaches on Hebrews 12:18-24.

The Mountain E11 — We've learned that mountains in the Hebrew Bible often become a space where Heaven and Earth overlap and human beings must choose between self-preservation or surrender and trust in God. The story builds our hope and expectation for a faithful intercessor on the mountain who can mediate God's blessings to the people below. As we turn to the New Testament, gospel writer Matthew is ready to spotlight who that faithful mountaintop intercessor is. In this episode, Jon and Tim walk through seven stories in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus prays, teaches, does miracles, and more—all on mountains.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Theme Recap and Overview of Matthew's Seven Mountains (0:00-17:42)Chapter 2: The Mountains of Testing and Teaching (17:42-29:44)Chapter 3: Two Mountains of Prayer and Feeding, Plus One of Transfiguration (29:44-42:15)Chapter 4: Mountains of Apocalypse and Commissioning (42:15-55:16)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesJesus on the Mountain: A Study in Matthean Theology by Terence DonaldsonCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Dreams Come True” by Drips Zacheer“Moonlite” by Nokiaa & Deauxnuts“Go Slow” by little blueBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Sermon, "Two Mountains", by Marcus Campbell from the Lewiston Church of Christ on 11/17/2024.

Pastor Brad Franklin talks about the God's firm foundation. Watch this episode on our YouTube channel:https://youtube.com/live/oLrbRpKP3hU?feature=share

The author of Hebrews shows us a descriptive comparison of Mt. Sinai to Mt. Zion. What a rich picture of the amazing grace that we have in Jesus Christ. A grace that comes without fear. The grace of the New Covenant, bought by our Lord and Savior.

Hebrews 12:18-29 contrasts two mountains—Mount Sinai and Mount Zion. Sinai, where the law was given, represents the old covenant where we are unable to approach a holy God. However, Mount Zion, through Christ and the new covenant, invites us to draw near. It's a picture of grace, where the blood of Jesus speaks a better word, offering life and reconciliation. The two mountains reveal the law and gospel.

Listen along as we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews. Notes//Quotes: “Although the author of Hebrews never mentions Sinai by name, he clearly has that mountain in view in his poetic comments in these verses. He draws his depiction of the desert wanderers' encounter of God at Mount Sinai from the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy (e.g., Ex. 19:16–22; 20:18–21; Deut. 4:11–12; 5:23–27). In the Sinai encounter they came near to God in a solemn assembly to covenant with him (Deut. 4:10–14). But the experience was terrifying.” - George Guthrie Exodus 19:12: “And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death.” Exodus 19:23: “Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.'” “"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? for thou only art holy" (Rev. 15:4). He only is independently, infinitely, immutably holy. In Scripture, He is frequently styled "The Holy One." He is so because the sum of all moral excellency is found in Him. He is absolute purity, unsullied even by the shadow of sin. "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). Holiness is the very excellency of the divine nature; the great God is "glorious in holiness" (Ex. 15:11). Therefore we read, "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity" (Hab. 1:13). As God's power is the opposite of the native weakness of the creature, as His wisdom is in complete contrast from the least defect of understanding or folly, so His holiness is the very antithesis of all moral blemish or defilement.” - A.W. Pink “Every aspect of the vision provides encouragement for coming boldly into the presence of God (cf. 4:16). The atmosphere at Mount Zion is festive. The frightening visual imagery of blazing fire, darkness, and gloom fades before the reality of the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem. The cacophony of whirlwind, trumpet blast, and a sound of words is muted and replaced by the joyful praise of angels in a festal gathering. The trembling congregation of Israel, gathered solemnly at the base of the mountain, is superseded by the assembly of those whose names are permanently inscribed in the heavenly archives. An overwhelming impression of the unapproachability of God is eclipsed in the experience of full access to the presence of God and of Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant.” - William Lane

Psalms 22, 23 and 24 form a Messianic tryptic. The first describes the crucifixion and the last describes the return of the conquering king. In between is the Valley of the Shadow of death where He descended into the grave and then arose three days later.

Thank you for joining us for worship today! We complete our look at chapter 12 in the book of Hebrews by looking at the two warnings given to us, and the two mountains depicted by the author.
