The Temple Institute is a 34 year old organization that has built more than 70 artifacts that can be used when the 3rd Jewish Temple is constructed. One of the elements they have been working on for the past 6 years, is the red heifer used for the purification from death. Even with the latest in science and technology, they have not been able to produce a pure red heifer. According to God’s word,...

Every verse, every character and every ceremonial ordinance in the Bible leads to Jesus! Though the Tabernacle was an ineffective sanctuary, where ineffective ceremonies were performed, the fact remains that it still led to Jesus. Join us this Sunday, as we're challenged in Hebrews 9:1-10, to observe how Jesus was foreshadowed by an "Ineffective Religion," that ultimately led to His eternally effe...

Paula Abdul's 1988 single, "Cold Hearted" couldn't be more accurate of our adversary and our sinfulness. There's a line in the chorus that reads, "He don't play by the rules". As "rules" are concerned, no, our adversary does not play by the rules. In fact, before Jesus, we didn't either which is why God promised to turn our heart of stone (cold-hearted) into one of flesh. God also agreed to write...

The world's consideration of strength, is weakness according to the Gospel. Where as the Gospel's consideration of strength, is weakness according to the world. This world's pattern masquerades weakness with a facade of strength. As Christians, we worship the Lord, in spirit and in body, due to the strength He displayed in sacrifice. Join us this Sunday as the Apostle Paul challenges us in "Active...

Many people love the outdoors and camping. To some, camping is not their idea of fun. It's been said that camping is like people paying a bunch of money to live like they are homeless. Either way you look at it, camping is meant to be a temporary dwelling. As we continue our sermon series in Hebrews, chapter 8 verses 1-5 will reveal the differences between the temporary sacrificial system of the t...

Purchasing a product with a "lifetime warranty" gives a consumer peace of mind. Unfortunately, a lifetime will eventually come to an end. Therefore, true peace of mind can only be obtained through something guaranteed for eternity, such as salvation & the priesthood of Jesus. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Eternal Guarantee" from Hebrews 7:20-28, where we'll discover & be encouraged in this p...

God has always communicated to both Jews and Christians alike that there's always hope. The original hope of the Levitical priesthood and Tabernacle, was God's way of foreshadowing the hope we now know in Jesus! Join us this Sunday as we learn more about Jesus, who is "A Better Hope," from Hebrews 7:11-19.

Religions and philosophies of life come and go. And many are confused as to how to access the presence and blessings of God. Even among those who claim the name of Christ there are differing views regarding the mechanisms for appealing to God in prayer and receiving forgiveness from sin. Join us Sunday as we discover “The Eternal Nature of the Priesthood of Jesus” from Hebrews chapter Seven.

In our world today, scammers are thriving at an alarming rate. They cost the US 100's of billions of dollars, just last year. With so much of that out there, it's hard to trust anyone these days. But what about God? God promises us certain things in His Word. How do we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can trust Him? Join us this Sunday as we see that the writer of Hebrews answers this very...

Can you lose your salvation? Oh, the million dollar question! As Christians, we should be more concerned with maturing in Christ, rather than being anxiety ridden over our eternal salvation. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Move On Toward Maturity" from Hebrews 6:1-8, as we look to encourage each other to mature in Christ, by responding to the eternal security He provides.

In 1993 the "got milk?" marketing campaign began. The purpose was to promote milk consumption for those aged 7-13 years old. As you may know, milk can help grow strong bones, which is why this marketing campaign targeted pre-teens. Like milk, the Word of God can help us grow spiritually. In fact, we are told in the Bible to begin with milk, then move on to solid foods. Join us this Sunday as we le...

“Would you take a bullet for me?” I think that’s a line from some film somewhere, but the question is often asked. How far would you go in love to help someone in need? We serve Someone who not only stands in for us as helper and mediator, but who actually gave Himself for us. Join us Sunday as we take a look at Hebrews chapter 5 and that perfect High Priest—Jesus.

“Dead man walking” is a term usually used for someone on death row. Can you imagine someone living a large part of their lives, knowing they will suffer death soon? The unfortunate fact is, all of humanity is in this very predicament. Because of our own rebellion, we all are condemned to death (aka Hell) and there is a set date that awaits us all. Join us this Sunday as we study John 3:16-21, wher...

The court of of law can be an expensive endeavor. Fortunately, there are less expensive alternatives. One such alternative is arbitration, which provides a mediator who is sympathetic to both sides, for the purpose of making an unbiased and fair judgment. As Christians, we know that Jesus is fully God and man, therefore qualifying Him as our Arbitrator. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "Throne...

When we're exposed, we often feel vulnerable. However, have you ever felt like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, after admitting to wrong doing? There is a reason for that; God already knows our everything. There is nothing that we can hide from Him. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "Comforted by Exposure," from Hebrews 4:12-13, where we'll be encouraged to take comfort in what God h...

When the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, God promised them rest in the land of Canaan. This "rest" was contingent upon their trust of Him and His promise. Unfortunately, the Israelites did not trust in the promise made by God. The same is true for us. We're told to trust God and His promises, yet we find ourselves in unbelief and distrust. Fortunately, it's not too late! We still have time...

Have you heard the term “paralysis of analysis?” This has happened to everyone at some point. Even though you need to make a hard decision, you just can’t seem to pull the trigger. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the book of Hebrews, with our Sermon “Entering God’s Rest,” where some Hebrews just couldn’t make up their minds about what God was clearly saying to them. God has made a...

Moses is like all other Believers; an individual stone that comprises the House of God. However, Jesus is much more than an individual stone, as He is the House of God. Therefore, together and through faith, we comprise the very thing that Jesus is over. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "Jesus: Greater Than Moses" from Hebrews 3:1-6.

In 1989, Nike marketed the multi-sport athlete, Bo Jackson, with the slogan "Bo Knows". Sure, Bo knows sports and the sacrifice it takes to be great, but there is really only One person who knows everybody's everything. That one person is Jesus and He knows all there is to know about temptation, suffering & sacrifice. Join us for our sermon, "Jesus Knows," from Hebrews 2:5-18, where we'll be encou...

In life, there are consequences for our every decision and action. None of which is more important than our response to the Gospel. Join us this Sunday, as we examine the warning not to neglect the Gospel, from Hebrews 2:1-4 in our sermon titled: "The Consequence of Gospel Negligence".

For thousand's of years there have been many different views about who Jesus is. Some say teacher, some prophet and some even Messiah. However, not all who claim He was Messiah have a complete picture of who He truly is. Join us as we continue our series in the book of Hebrews, where we will learn that Jesus (Messiah) is even "Greater Than Angels".

The whole entire Bible is about the One who reigns supreme, Jesus! As the Creator and Sustainer of the cosmos, the entire universe belongs to Him. He is the exact physical representation of God! Join us for our sermon: "The Supremacy of Christ," from Hebrews 1:1-3, where we'll get a glimpse of His radiance.

He Would Be Crucified - Psalm 16 & Acts 2 - Matthew Niemier by Villas Grace Church

The abandonment experienced by Jesus on our behalf is unfathomable. The implications of said abandonment is unmatchable. Finally, His abandonment is eternally undeniable. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "Forsaken by God," where we'll focus on the eternal rewards of recieving His reconciling us to God!

Kingdoms & governments of this world have a limited ability to expand. In fact, over-expansion has brought about the demise of many. As Christians, we understand that Jesus will one day sit on the throne of David & rule over the house of Jacob. We're encouraged in that His government will never cease expanding in righteousness & peace! Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Heir To the Throne," from...
