Grace Baptist Church – Sheboygan

Faith receives the gracious blessings and the commendation of God because it believes his word is true and entrusts itself to Him in faithful obedience.

In our walk with Christ, we have need for endurance, so that after we have done the will of God we may receive what has been promised to us. In this passage we look at three keys to enduring well.

Christ Jesus is a complete and perfect Savior, who gives us confidence. In Hebrews 10:19-25, we learn three ways God calls his people to live in light of that confidence.

Jesus has offered a single sacrifice for sins, that is once and for all. Therefore, we can wait with an unshakable hope, fully assured that He will complete His work in us.

God desires obedience, not sacrifice. God's command's are right, and they are for our good. Here in Hebrews 10:1-10, we learn more about God's purpose for the law, we learn what God really wants from us, and we see how God has provided for us to have life and salvation through the active obedience of Jesus Christ.

Christ Jesus has come once to put sin away for us through his sacrifice on the cross, and he is coming again, this time to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him. In this sermon, we look at the principle of purity that had to be met. We look at what Jesus accomplished in his first coming, and we think about the hope that we have in his second coming.

God shows the depths of his love and grace to us by making us co-heirs with Christ, with the promise of eternal inheritance as sons and daughters of God.

The death of Jesus was necessary A) So that Jesus Can Be Our Mediator B) So that Jesus Could Redeem Us from Sin C) So that We Could Receive an Eternal Inheritance According to God’s Promise

When it comes to knowing God, we face a serious challenge. As creatures, we are dependent upon God's self-revelation. Thankfully, God is a God who delights to reveal Himself to us, both through His work and His word. In this sermon, we explore God's purpose in the Old Testament for giving people a place to come and encounter His holiness at the tabernacle. This was a gracious gift, but also someth...

The New Covenant in Christ is the faithful promise of a faithful God to secure salvation for faithless people and to bring them into a right relationship with Him again.

Models are great, but they aren't a replacement for the real thing. In this sermon we see that Jesus is the real deal, a great high priest who is able to deliver us and make good on all of God's promises.

Jesus Christ is our true, great high priest. We come to God through him. In this passage our author compares the ministry of Jesus to that of the Levitical priests, showing that Jesus is truly greater.

God, in Christ, has given us a greater high priest, who gives us a greater hope, because He is able to perfect us and make it so that we can draw near to God.

Melchizedek, King of Salem, is one of the most mysterious figures of the Bible. He may only occupy a small space in the Old Testament, but he leaves a massive expectation for the Messiah. In this sermon we are introduced to this man, and we discover something of the superiority of Jesus Christ, who holds our hope secure.

The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith and hope. In this passage, Jesus sets that foundation up for us, declaring that he is the resurrection and the life and that all who believe in him will have eternal life. In this sermon, we explore that hope as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

Christ is the sure and steady anchor of our soul. As long as he remains our great high priest, we have a hope that cannot be shaken.

True faith is faith that lasts. This passage is a warning with a purpose. Not everyone who hears the gospel bears the fruit of faith. In this sermon, Pastor Philip helps us consider the purpose of this warning and what it means to press on towards a mature faith.

Birth is exciting, but it's not everything. Babies are meant to grow. Growth isn't optional for children, and it isn't optional for Christians either. In this sermon we look at the importance of growing into a mature faith. We also look at how God h as provided for believers to grow, and we consider the assurance that we have in that growth by His grace.

The purpose of this passage is to help us connect the work of Jesus on the cross to the way God has appointed him to serve as our great high priest, which we looked at last week. This is what the Father called Jesus to do, and because Jesus accomplished that work, God has made him the source of eternal salvation for sinners like you and me.

Authority matters. It legitimizes the use of power. In this passage we take a close look at the authority that Jesus has to serve as our great high priest, and we see why that matters for us.

Jesus is superior, not only in the word he speaks but in the way he functions as our great high priest. In this sermon, we consider three important truths for what Jesus' priesthood means for us.

The Word of God is living and active. Though it does not change, it is never stale or irrelevant. It is the standard of God's judgment, and it brings us face to face with the excellence of who God is.

Rest is one of the big themes that shows up in the Bible. Rest has to do with that relationship we are meant to have with God. In this sermon, we look at what this rest looks like, why our sin keeps us from that rest, and we see how God has provided for us to have that rest in Christ.

Falling into the trap of a hard, unbelieving heart is a real threat that even the strongest, most mature believers must stay constantly vigilant against. Hebrews 3:7-14 calls our attention to the danger of this trap, and it arms us so that we can recognize it and avoid it.

Where do you look for courage? When it comes to finding confidence and hope in the midst of pressure situations, the Bible calls us to look to Christ. In Hebrews 3:1-6, the author calls us to consider three things about Jesus, which bring us confidence and hope to press on in our upward calling.
