The Old Covenant was incomplete and only a "shadow" of the covenant to come. It required the daily ongoing sacrifice of animals that covered sin but didn't make remission for sin. With Jesus, the New Covenant was ushered in and His final sacrifice set the New Covenant apart when He sat down at the right hand of the Father. 

While Melchizedek was truly unique among the ancient fathers of faith, he still falls short of Jesus, who in his role as High Priest and King, He does more and provides more than all others before him. He rules and is sovereign. He intercedes on our behalf. He defends us and is preparing a place for us. 

Jesus, our greater High Priest. Jesus not only meets but exceeds the qualifications of the Levitical priests; he represents us as our great high priest, enabling us now to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence!

In the sermon titled "Moses was great... Jesus is greater!" from Hebrews 3:1-6, we explore how Jesus surpasses Moses in greatness through three main points: Jesus' dual roles as both Apostle and High Priest, His greater glory compared to Moses, and His position as a Son over God's house, contrasted with Moses as a servant in God's house. This comparison emphasizes Jesus&ap...

Heb 1 and 2. Jesus is greater than angels. Whereas angels serve those who will inherit salvation, Jesus is the founder and pioneer of our so-great-a-salvation. Having suffered for our atonement, he brought us into the family of God, gave us a future inheritance and now acts as our high priest helping us when tested.

Hebrews 1:1-4 While God's revelation from the prophets revealed him "in many times and many ways," God's revelation in Jesus is greater because God has spoken finally through his own Son -- God himself!

Hebrews 12:1-11 The writer of Hebrews wants us to know one thing -- that Jesus is greater than. In this series, we'll see Jesus as superior to even all the great people and institutions God gave to Israel. In chapter 12, he is our example of faith and endurance, and we can look to him to persevere when God uses hardship in our lives to make us more like him.

The story of the last few hours of the life of Jesus is such a contrast in who he was and what he was capable of and how he allowed others to bind him and lead him away, even allowing them to pierce his hands and feet with the nails that pinned him to the cross. This Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Tim highlighted that contrast and characterized it as the humility of Christ that allowed all that to ha...

As Jesus arrives in Jerusalem to observe Passover, his hour has finally come. What does Jesus say his hour will accomplish through his death, and why is resurrection our only hope as believers?

As we journey through the Bible towards the empty tomb of the Gospels, we stop in Exodus and Leviticus to reflect on substitutionary atonement and another 'road sign' that points toward the resurrection and the first fruits of those who will be made alive.

Today we begin a Resurrection series that will take us from Genesis to the empty tomb.  We begin in Genesis 3, where sin corrupts creation and thus the need for the cross and the resurrection. Also in Genesis, we see 'road signs' for God's eternal plan to redeem His creation back to Himself -- the promise to bless all families on earth through Abraham and the provision of the ram as...

“God is involved.  He is seeing me. He’s seeing my pain.  He’s seeing my struggle. And I trust that if he needed to step in and rescue me he would."  This week Dr. Michael Breece preached on "the God who sees" using examples from the lives of Hagar, the Hebrew midwives, Baruch the scribe and Abraham.  We say, "I'm afraid." God says, "It's ok, I'm watchi...

As ambassadors of God, what is our message? It's the wonderful love of Jesus!

This week Pastor Tim taught on communion, beginning with the Passover of the OT. We looked at different beliefs on communion and how we observe here at Crossing. 

Dr. Plummer uses Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 4 and Paul's own experiences to teach us that the key to endure present sufferings is to focus on future glory!

What does the Bible teach about technology? How should Christians engage with it; why is it even important? How has technology changed our society and churches? What is the church’s response to an increasingly digital world?

In these few verses, Paul encapsulates what God's love is truly like. 15 aspects of God's love jammed into five verses. 

Paul opens 1 Corinthians 13 by deconstructing all the things the Corinthian church considered as important and valuable, establishing that nothing compares to love and that only love gives eternal value to the demonstration of faith in our lives and the church. 

Pastor Tim returned from his sabbatical today with a report of his studies in the book of Job and how God used that in his life while he was away from us. 

From the drama of the birth of Jesus Christ we find Mary, Joseph and Jesus encountering a righteous man by the name of Simeon. It is here that we see the song of salvation sung by Simeon upon encountering the Christ child. Simeon's song teaches us many things about the salvation that Jesus Christ brings. One of those things is that we are to worship Christ because of the salvation that He bri...

Music. Food. Presents. Decorations. Of all the things we do that make Christmas "Christmas," there is one - like no other - that has the power to remind Christians why we celebrate!

Peace is a strange word and reality for a time that seems so unpeaceful. The noise of everyday life especially during the holiday's can seem overwhelming, drowning out the true peace of the season that is brought by our Savior Christ the Lord. In Luke 2 we read of this peace. A peace that cuts through the noise of life. A peace purchased by Jesus, a peace that is brought between God and man....
