The sermon explores the superiority of Jesus Christ as the Great High Priest compared to the Old Testament sacrificial system, emphasizing that His once-for-all sacrifice fully atones for sin. It highlights two key realities from Hebrews 4: first, that Christ has passed through the heavens to sit at the right hand of God, indicating the completion of His redemptive work, and second, that He sympat...

In Revelation 3:7-13, Christ speaks to the church in Philadelphia. This was a small, persecuted church with "little power," yet it remained faithful to His Word and refused to deny His name.

As the Holy and True One who holds the key of David, Jesus possesses complete autho...

Col.2:16-19

As a parent raises their children, they not only counsel them in that which is true and good, but also in that which is to be avoided. There are things we call our children to pursue and hold fast to, and there are things we call them to keep away from. We do this because we know that indulging in such things will only lead to their harm. The same is true of our Father in heaven toward us. As we f...

Christ has set you free from trying to earn God's acceptance through your own obedience. Your justification rests completely on His finished work, and adding your own works as a requirement for salvation undermines the grace of the gospel. Yet this freedom is not permission to live however you please—it frees you to obey God willingly out of love and gratitude. Stand firmly in that grace, keeping...

Went over some developments on the Mormon front, the fact that Mormonism really is splintering fast into self-prophet groups with all sorts of different views and beliefs. We also looked at a statement posted by Leighton Flowers (written by someone else) that said that if Judas or Pilate had "repented" that God could have found "someone else." We thought through what that would mean and realized t...

Dawn Hill examines Vlad Savchuk's "octopus spirit" teaching and the Scriptures used to support it. She explains why passages about thoughts, temptation, and spiritual warfare should be read in context rather than used to establish an unnamed demon.

Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church and warned them that tribulation would continue for the church, but they needed to stand fast in the Lord and love each other. That same formula works for the church today, we will never go farther than our faith in Jesus and our love for the brethren. Grab your Bible turn to 1 Thessalonians 3, and follow along with Pastor Mike.

We Stood Through It So You Can Thrive Paul had poured himself into the believers at Thessalonica. He had taught them, encouraged them, and laboured for their faith. But when affliction came and the tempter pressed them, Paul was deeply concerned that all that labour might be in vain. "For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tem...
