New King Church

This week we are in Hebrews 12:5-17. Here in the midst of of weariness and hardship we will read of God’s loving discipline. Which, as we will see, God uses to affirm our relationship with Him and mature us in Jesus’ image. Hebrews 12:5-17

We are now at the beginning of the end of Hebrews. The author of Hebrews challenges his readers to continue running the marathon of the life of faith. But what does it really mean to run with endurance? And how can we do that today? Hebrews 12:1-3

We’re at the end of the “faith” chapter and two kinds of faith experiences are described. One group of people was victorious and the other group suffered terribly. How do we explain this, given that both groups had faith in the same God? Hebrews 11:32-40

Has there ever been a time in your life where your faith has come at a cost? This week we will study people from the Bible whose faith came at a cost in Hebrews 11. By focusing on their example we will be encouraged that the obedience to Christ is worth it!  Hebrews 11:17-31

We have finally reached Hebrews 11, a well known passage where the author calls his audience to continue in the faith. But who are all these people from the Old Testament he talks about? And why is he listing all these people? This Sunday we will answer these questions as we try to understand how to answer the call to faith in our lives today. Hebrews 11:1-16

As we continue in our study of Hebrews we reach the fourth warning passage. Here the author warns his audience of the danger of disobedience and encourages them to perseverance. We look forward to seeing you Sunday as we learn to faithfully persevere to the glory of God! Hebrews 10:26-39

Have you ever struggled with lack of confidence or personal insecurity about yourself, an aspect of life, or your relationship with God? This week the author of Hebrews answers those questions by reminding us about the source of our confidence and how we are to live because of our confidence in Christ. Hebrews 10:11-25

In this passage, God’s pleasure is mentioned twice, but in both cases, it’s things He has no pleasure in. What DOES God take pleasure in? That’s in this passage as well. God takes most pleasure in the obedience of His Son. And God takes great pleasure in us when we are like Him. (Hebrews 10:1-10)

As we continue in our study of Hebrews the author concludes the chapter repeating multiple times this idea of a sacrifice. The verses this week will compare sacrifice in the Old Testament and the New Testament to make clear a few very important points: that our redemption is based on the superior sacrifice of Christ, in a superior holy place, offered with superior effectiveness, leading to a super...

The author of Hebrews uses the word "eternal" three times in this passage: Eternal Redemption, Eternal Spirit, and Eternal Inheritance. This should catch our eye and make us wonder, "Does God have a message for us in this word repetition?" The answer is a resounding “YES!” with extremely practical implications for living out our Christian lives today.

Have you ever felt guilt about something you did or maybe still experience guilt about something you did in the past? How do we remove that guilt? How do gain assurance of our relationship with God despite doubts that may remain? These questions are all answered our focus verses in Hebrews 9 where we will learn that Christ has won us forgiveness and purity by His death on the cross. Hebrews 9:1-14

The main message of this section is that the old Mosaic covenant is obsolete and that we live in the New Covenant, which is so much better. But here's the reality: for some reason, we as Christians, have a strong tendency to revert to the old covenant, back to the law. Why? Why do we do that if the New Covenant is so much better? How can we recognize this tendency and instead, live fully in the Ne...

As we continue on in our study of Hebrews the author moves from the theme of Jesus’ superior priesthood to the theme of Jesus mediating a better covenant. This better covenant is founded on better promises, in a better holy place, and through a better sacrifice. As we see the truths of this passage, may we be encouraged to greater faithfulness. Hebrews 8:1-7

Have you ever felt hopeless? Have you ever felt distant from others or even God? The author of Hebrews addresses these questions as we continue in Hebrews 7:11-28. Here the author will remind us that because of Jesus we have a better hope that assures we are now able to draw near to God. Hebrews 7:11-28

After taking a break from talking about Jesus as our High Priest the author will return by introducing a mysterious figure named Melchizedek. Who is this person and why is he so important in Hebrews? Join us this Sunday as we see how Melchizedek points us to Jesus! Hebrews 7:1-10

Last week the author of Hebrews gave his readers some strong correction but began to transition towards encouraging them. This week we will see the continuation of that encouragement as we are reminded of the certainty and source of our hope. Join us this Sunday for some strong encouragement! Hebrews 6:13-20  

As we continue our study in Hebrews we come this week to a difficult and challenging section. Here the author calls on his readers to proactive maturity. These verses will challenge us to ask how we respond in the midst of challenges. As we will see the truth of Jesus motivates us to pursue active growth in our lives! Hebrews 5:11-6:12  

Have you ever wrestled with the reality that despite God being perfect, you are not? Do you struggle to understand God’s grace in light of your own frequent missteps? This Sunday we will address how God answers our doubts by reminding us that Jesus is our Eternal High Priest who has provided Eternal Salvation! Hebrews 5:1-10  

This week we are continuing our study of Hebrews 4 where we will see a new theme being taught: Jesus the Great High Priest. This passage can be difficult because it talks about Jesus in a way that may feel foreign to us. To help us we will answer two questions: what does it mean that Jesus is our great high priest? And, how should we respond in light of this truth? Hebrews 4:14-16

The topic of Hebrews 4 is God's Rest.  Given the chaos all around us today, we sure need some rest!  But when we read the chapter, it seems quite confusing because God's Rest is described as past, present, and future.  Which is it?  And how does it apply to me?  Come to New King this Sunday and together, we'll study God's Rest by answering four questions from this chapter: What is God's Rest? How...

This week we’ll continue in Hebrews as we wrap up chapter 3. We’ll see how we are called to hold fast to Jesus by listening to His voice and encouraging one another. We can’t wait to see you there! Hebrews 3:7-19

This week we will be studying a new theme in the book of Hebrews. In chapter 3 the author begins to tell his audience that Jesus is greater than Moses, for that reason they must remain steadfast to their heavenly calling and faith in Jesus. Hebrews 3:1-6

Have you ever found it difficult to trust Jesus with the things going on in your life? This week in Hebrews chapter 2 we will see the author give his readers several reasons to pursue perseverance because of who Jesus is. Hebrews 2:5-18

As we continue our study in Hebrews we have reached the first warning passage in the letter. Here the author takes time to encourage his audience to stay committed to the Gospel. While we study these verses we will also be asking ourselves how is it that we are being called to remain committed to the Gospel here in Vermont. 

We are now into our second week in our sermon series on Hebrews. Having studied the introduction last Sunday we will now continue our study seeing how Jesus is presented as greater than God’s angels. Here we will see how Jesus is the Son of God whose reign has no end. We can’t wait to study Hebrews and see how God’s word guides us in our lives today!
