Orchard Community Church Sermon Audio

There are times that new really is better. In Hebrews chapter 8 we see the new and better promise that we have through Jesus Christ. The Old Testament law was good but was always limited. Christ was the new and better way to have a relationship with God. Yet this new and better way was actually planned from the very beginning!

We often experience broken promises and sometimes we are the ones who break them. We can't know or control every situation. Yet God does know all things and can control all things so when God makes a promise it is absolutely certain. This sermon looks at Hebrews 6:13-20 which explains that God makes promises, provides proof of His promises, and keeps those promises. Because of this, our hope...

We all face times of crossroads in our lives where we have to make decisions. In those moments the maturity of our faith in Christ has a big impact on our choices.

How many times have you heard the questions asked, “Why do bad things happen to good people? or “If God is so good and loving, why does He allow His people to suffer?”. This sermon looks at how God views pain and suffering by taking a quick survey of what the author of Hebrews has to say about the topic.

We have all celebrated an occasion in which we have received a gift or many gifts. Occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries or even Valentine’s Day. When we receive these gifts, how much time do we spend thinking only of the gift or ourselves, and not the giver and our relationship with that person? This sermon takes a closer look at what James teaches in chapter 1:17-20 and our respo...

We all need rest, but we live in a world that never slows down. We enter into this frantic action believing that it will eventually lead us to rest, but it seems to never come. In Hebrews 4:1-13 we learn about God's offer of true rest through Christ.

Which is most important, our hearts or our minds? We live in a world where feelings define truth rather than the other way around. Even among Christians we often talk about the importance of doing things "from the heart" and we consider "head knowledge" as less important. Yet in the Bible our hearts and our minds are always connected. In Hebrews 3:1-19 we see the importance of...

When we look at Christ we see something so opposite from what we would expect. The one with authority and honor came to us who did not deserve his presence or his service. He came to us in our suffering and served us by dying in our place. This sermon looks at this amazing truth from Hebrews 2:5-18 in part four of our sermon series on the book of Hebrews called “Greater Than: Unwavering Hope in th...

Sometimes we treat the method that God uses to bring us His message as more important than the message itself. God works through our history, our culture, our denominational tradition, a particular worship style, or a certain way of spreading the gospel and we treat that method as if it is the greatest thing in the world and cling to it so tightly that we forget that it was just a carrier for the...

Why should we trust Christ? If our answer to this question is weak then our trust will be weak as well. This sermon looks at Hebrews 1:1-4.

This sermon is the first in a new series on the book of Hebrews. In this incredible book we are presented with the powerful truth that Jesus is greater than anything else. Because of this truth, we are encouraged and challenged to keep going. We are to hold fast to the hope we have in Christ. We are to cling to the truth of the gospel because there is no greater hope in anything else. Orchard Comm...

Jesus is the ultimate answer to the question of "Did God really say...?" He is the ultimate message from God to us because not only does he provide the clearest communication of God's will, but through his death and resurrection he accomplishes that will by saving those who believe.

Jesus was a great teacher. When he taught even the smartest people of his time were amazed at his teaching. Even though he taught 2000 years ago, his teaching is still applicable today and even non-Christians often recognize the value of Jesus' teachings in many areas. But was Jesus just a great teacher? The key to understanding the teachings of Jesus must start with WHO is teaching, not just...

Living in Biblical Wisdom changes us over time. When we allow God's wisdom to shape our thinking we will not remain the same. This is not an easy process as most of us don't like to admit that we need to change, but as we continue to live according to God's wisdom and to grow in our understanding of God's wisdom, that wisdom will change us over time. Our thinking and our action...

It is no surprise that God does all things according to His great wisdom, but sometimes I think it is easy to overlook just how His wisdom applies to certain aspects of His plan. In wisdom God created the Church (all those saved by Christ) and as we understand why God chooses to work in this way we will better appreciate what it means to be the Church.

The subject of trials is a tough one to embrace yet, everyone in the world encounters them. Because we are sinful beings who live in a fallen world, we experience trials on a regular basis whether we are Christians or not. Even when we succeed in getting our own little worlds under control, something inevitably messes that up. We do everything we can to attain peace and comfort by protecting ourse...

Money is a big subject in Scripture because it is a big issue in our lives. Money can be both a blessing and a curse.
