Bradley McVay's Sermon Archive

This is a break from the normal layout. It's a podcast looking at Palm Sunday, and what it means. Our hosts will examine the history of the palm branches, why they were important, the contrast between the palms and Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, and how the crowd's missing the message of Jesus caused them to go from "Hosanna" to "Crucify Him" in the course of...

In this service, my daughter Anna sings "Psalm 46 Lord of Hosts," and I preach on the importance of the symbolism of the tabernacle. We end the service being reminded of the eternal sufficiency of the sacrifice of Jesus for the permanent forgiveness of our sins.

In this sermon and the two following, we will examine the role of the tabernacle, the high priest, and the sacrifice, and see how Jesus is greater than each of these. This sermon looks at the tabernacle. While it served a purpose, it was insufficient, and a prototype to the eternal sufficient sacrifice of Jesus to offer actual forgiveness from sin, and not simply postponing the punishment that our...

In this sermon, we look at the second half of Hebrews 8, and how the old covenant wasn't sufficient for heart change. It was great for behavior modification...not necessarily the best for making our hearts new and helping us to love Jesus and others more. The previous week's sermon is not available...church had technical difficulties.

Who is Melchizedek, why is he important, and why on earth did the writer of Hebrews write about him in Chapter 7? All those questions and more are answered in this sermon.

In this sermon, we look at the rest of Hebrews 6, and how God's faithfulness is shown in the story of Abraham...and how God is faithful in spite of our unfaithfulness time and again.

In this sermon, we look at one of the most controversial and misunderstood passages of scripture. At first glance, it appears that Hebrews 6 says that if we're saved, and we fall away from the faith, we can't be restored. But is the Bible really saying that?

In this sermon, we finish up Hebrews 5, and discuss what it means to be a mature follower of Christ: Purpose and Practice.

In this sermon, we look at the role of the high priest, and how Jesus was the superior high priest.

In this sermon, we wrap up Hebrews 4, and how we can approach the throne of grace boldly, knowing that God will never leave or abandon us.

In this sermon, we unpack the first part of Hebrews 4, what it means to rest in God, and how His promise to the Israelites as they were delivered from Egypt can help us understand what it means to rest in Him now.

In this "new year's sermon," we look at Exodus 35, and how Moses led the Israelites to obedience through worship.

In this sermon, we look at Hebrews 3:7-11, and how the author of Hebrews uses the example of the Israelites in the wilderness as a picture of ingratitude, and why we should have more gratitude in our lives now.

In this sermon, we unpack what it looks like to be a member of the house of Christ, where we are not judged for what we have done, not condemned for what we've not done, and if we've surrendered our lives to Christ, we're a part of His household.

In this sermon, we look at the rest of Hebrews 2, and discuss the idea of having hope despite our circumstances - that there is a bigger picture, and a reason to have hope.

In this sermon, we continue to unpack what it means to say that Jesus is greater than. In this sermon, we look at the question "who are you listening to?" And how Jesus is greater than the world telling you you're lacking.

In this sermon, we look further into Hebrews 1, and how Jesus is not just "greater than," but also His eternality, and why that matters to us now.

In this sermon, we go back to Hebrews 1, and look in detail at the seven sayings about Jesus in this passage, ultimately that support the thesis that "Jesus is greater than..."

In this sermon, we look at the author of Hebrews claim that Jesus is superior to the angels, why that was significant, and how we can apply that truth to our lives today.

In this sermon, we finish up our months long study in Revelation, and see what finally happens as Jesus has reclaimed his title deed to earth, and God has established the new heavens and the new earth.

In the sermon today, we see Satan finally bound, and Jesus returns to establish a new heaven and new earth, and the throne judgment of all who have ever lived.

In this sermon, we finish out Revelation 19. Jesus is declaring his victory and is on the verge of returning as the mighty King, reclaiming His creation.

In this sermon series, we dive into the book of Hebrews, and how Jesus is "greater than..."

In this sermon, we look at the first half of Revelation 19. This is when Jesus as the mighty king begins his return to redeem and restore his good but broken creation.

This is a shorter sermon, as we were dismissing early to go support another pastor's retirement. My daughter led worship and I preached a sermon from Jeremiah 20.
