In perfect obedience to the holiness and majesty of God the Father, the Son so greatly desires our salvation that He would rather die than see us perish. He would rather die than bring any dishonor to the Father. What a great, great love! Are you eagerly awaiting Jesus?

It is by the blood of Christ that our conscience is cleansed of dead works so that we can serve God. Your desire to be righteous without Jesus is simply done in vain. You must be washed in the blood, you must be filled with the Spirit. Repent and believe in HIM, and see your heart change, the miraculous happen in your life and in the people whom you serve!

Hebrews 9 begins with the author showing us a picture of the tabernacle that existed in the Old Covenant as a place for Israel to atone for their sin. There were some issues with this tabernacle though. First is that the rituals had to be done over and over, they were never complete. And secondly, all of the offerings were not enough to perfect the conscience of man. Only Jesus and HIS work could...

Hebrews 8 helps us to understand why the New Covenant is not just more important than the Old Covenant, but that it is essential. That the Old Covenant was bound to fail because of the weakness of men. But the New Covenant cannot fail because of the nature of God. Repent today, of all the things you thought you had to do to be saved or righteous; and focus on Jesus Christ who will be merciful to y...

Why do we get deep in the weeds about the priesthood of Melchizedek and the comparison to Aaron and the Levitical priesthood? Why try to show that Jesus is now a new great high priest of the order of Melchizedek? Because it reveals the amazing and intricately arranged nature of the Word of God. His Amazing Grace is not only revealed through His power to save, but also through the fulfillment of pr...

What an amazing message of hope! Jesus is the anchor of our soul. The anchor has been set. Our hope is in an unchangeable God who has promised us eternity through His Son! Give thanks, break bread and take hold of the hope that is set before you! This, friends, is great news!

Building on the theme from Hebrews 5 about spiritual maturity, the author calls us to move toward perfection. We should desire to grow and mature in our walk with Christ. What is holding you back from the growth that you should be having? Is the rain that pours down from God producing a harvest in you? Or are you growing thorns?

This is a challenging message from the author of Hebrews. Calling out the church for its immaturity. Believers never maturing and only being able to take in milk like a baby instead of solid food like a mature Christian. We should not only be learning the gospel message, but also learning some greater theology in an effort to be a teacher! Able to teach our kids, inform our friends and answer the...

This is a great study that shows the correlation between Jesus and the Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthoods. Understanding that Jesus is our great high priest and why it is important is a building block to realizing Him as the one who atones for our sin perfectly. As believers we are called to draw near to Him and be confident that He has the power to save us!

The goal of life, while glorifying God, is to enter into His rest. Jesus is our Sabbath and He is truly our rest. But the author continues to remind us that there are many who will not enter into that rest. This should be a call to urgent action in the church. Find that urgency to reach the last, as the Holy Spirit has empowered us to preach the Gospel message!

The author of Hebrews cannot accentuate the urgent call to encouragement any more. From the Israelites who died in the desert, to the first century church, all the way to our own pews, we must realize the urgency of this message. Because we do not wish for any to fall away from the living God, we must encourage one another, day after day!

We have built a foundation of understanding of who Jesus is, what He has done and why He has done it, as we studied Hebrews 1-2. Now the author delivers a fantastic message on why we should keep our eyes on Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ is the author and perfecter of or salvation! This study helps us to understand that God say it fitting, that Jesus, the Son, would become the propitiation for our sin. This is an amazing message of perfect hope!

When you start your day in the Word, it means the foundation of your day will be built on the cornerstone, which is Jesus Christ. When we are moored to the Word of God, we will surely never drift away. 

The author of Hebrews is intent to show that Jesus is higher than the angels. Why was this so important? While we work to answer this question, we also learn some amazing things about our Lord. One of the things we learn is that we are loved by a Great Great God!

This introduction to Hebrews just scratches the surface of the nature of Jesus Christ. One point that stands out in this study is that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory. What an amazing truth to contemplate as we consider that such a Majestic Creator would consider us. This perspective should have quantifiable impacts on your worship.

It may surprise you that many who profess to be Christians in America today, do not actually believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. This Sunday, while celebrating the resurrection of our Lord, we will discuss what Paul has to say about this event and how it is tied to our faith. He Has Risen!

This week we finish Paul's letter to Philemon. Paul appeals to Philemon's faithfulness to set the stage for the reconciliation of Onesimus. This story is a beautiful picture of how we, as believers, are reconciled to our Loving God!

This week we will dive into the letter from Paul to Philemon. A letter that is an amazing and uplifting story of reconciliation. The opening gives us a glimpse into a healthy and loving home church. Our study today should have you wondering if Paul wrote a letter to your church, would it bear the same message of joy and comfort?

Chad White walks us through what it means to honor your father. An important message that helps us to understand what God wants for us as believers and the legacy that we will leave for our own children.

This is the final study in the Epistle to Titus. In this lesson we will be stirred to ask the question of ourselves: What can I do more for Jesus? When realize just how amazing the work of salvation is, it should motivate us to lead in good works!

Being released from the bonds of slavery by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is the most liberating event that can happen in a person's life. When you have surrendered to Christ, it is hard to look back on the slave you once were. As we are encouraged in Galatian 5 “It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, stand firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.”

Look back to that moment when you realized initially just how precious God's grace is to your salvation. When you realized that you were saved. Then live in that moment of grace. Adorn yourself with the doctrine of God. Wear it everywhere you go. Speak boldly of the Gospel, work zealously out of that grace and realize that you belong to our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Paul calls Titus to teach the men and women of the church about the conduct of believers. Men and women should be aware of how they act and what they say. Not just because they are trying to be "good." But because they are setting the example for younger believers. Teaching young believers has as much to do with what we do, as what we say. This is a great lesson on being a good example f...

We should be able to find joy in knowing that we are striving to honor our Father through sound teaching. Clinging to the truth of the Gospel and doing good out of our love for Him. And never being afraid to call out that which is ungodly. Because...we know our God!
