Covenant Grace Church

Why did God command Israel to build a tabernacle (and later a temple) and why we don't have one anymore? Hebrews 9 helps us to understand that Jesus is better because he went into the better tabernacle to offer the better sacrifice once for all. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 20, 2023.

Jesus is not only a better high priest, but He also brings a better covenant. The New Covenant promises a better life, new intimacy with God as our Father, and a new confidence with God based on Christ's finished work on the cross. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 13, 2023.

Jesus is our better High Priest. Why? His character is better, His sacrifice is better and His appointment by God is better. Don't go back to broken cisterns. Look up to Jesus the better High Priest. This message was preached by Pastor Gabe Medina on August 6, 2023.

Jesus is a better priest because His priesthood actually accomplishes our cleansing, because it is the fulfillment of the promise from the Old Testament for a priest who would also be a King, and because His priesthood continues forever. And as our Great High Priest, Jesus always lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). This message was preached by Erick Cobb on July 30, 2023.

Why is Jesus such a great High Priest? Because we need a better representative due to our great need. As our High Priest, Jesus is human and can sympathize with our weakness and deal gently with us when we are wayward. Jesus is humble and Jesus also learned obedience through what He suffered. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on July 2, 2023.

Jesus is the better high priest not only because of where He is(seated at the right hand of God)or what He feels (sympathy for our weakness). Jesus is the better high priest because of what He gives… a throne of grace instead of judgment, and mercy and grace to help in our time of need. Let us draw near to this great high priest through prayer. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on Jun...

What actually happened on the day of Pentecost 50 days after Jesus ascended to the right hand of God? What does the giving of the Holy Spirit mean? And how should we respond to this great gift? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 28, 2023.

How important is the Ascension of Christ? It was prophesied; it enabled Christ to sit down at the right hand of God on high and take his place as King.

This message was preached by Pastor Gabe Medina on May 21, 2023.

Consider Jesus! "Take ten looks at Jesus for every one look at yourself." He is the Apostle and High Priest of our confession... sent from God to mankind and ascended back to God on our behalf.

Drifting away from Christ is easy and the danger is real. Don't respond to drifting by rowing harder. The remedy is the Gospel is great and it anchors us to the only One who is able to save us and keep us. Let's pay much closer attention to what we have heard from Christ, our anchor. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on April 30, 2023.

Isaiah 52-53 was written 700 years before Jesus' death and yet sounds like a detailed script of what happened on Good Friday.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey (Zech. 9:9). Jesus is King over all events, over all of our expectations, and He is a King who deserves all of our worship. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on A...
