Pastor Tommy presents three points from the text in Hebrews as a prescription for the Christian life, offering a practical inventory for believers to assess and strengthen their walk with Christ.

Part 21 of our "Draw Near" series explores the eternal plan of God to address human sin through the lens of prophetic Old Testament passages, particularly David's words in Psalm 40. Pastor Tommy contrasts ritualistic offerings with God's desire for genuine obedience and a devoted heart. The sermon connects these themes to the New Covenant established by Christ's sacrifice, hi...

"Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, b...

In this week's sermon Pastor Tommy highlights how Christ's death triggers the legal binding of God's promise, making believers heirs and adopted sons and daughters of God.

The old covenant is a symbol of the past, pointing to the present time's significance and the coming reformation brought by Christ. Despite the strangeness of these ancient rituals, the text reminds us that God is sovereign, actively shaping history and making His presence known through the ages, even in our modern world.

The central message of the New Covenant is that God is merciful toward our iniquities and remembers our sins no more. This divine mercy and forgiveness are made possible through the sacrifice of Christ, who bore our sins on the cross. Through the New Covenant, believers experience total victory over sin, not through their own efforts, but by embracing the work of Christ. This sermon serves as a po...
