Speaker: Connor Shady Let us find hope not in the things of this world, but in our unshakeable hope from above.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths For believers in Jesus, persecution is inevitable. Rather than see it as judgment by God, His people need to receive it as an expression of love from God. It is easy to lose one’s grip in the face of hardship, but rather than letting go, one needs to buckle up and hold fast to Jesus who is the founder and perfecter of their faith.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner A faith-fueled endurance is the consequence of seeing Jesus and continuing to believe the God who promises will faithfully fulfill his word.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths If Jesus is our Great High Priest, then everything will be okay.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The role of the Old Covenant ends where the New Covenant begins. God is not asking you for any kind of sacrifice to appease His wrath or earn His pleasure. The only sacrifice that answers all of our questions is that of His only begotten Son. Thus, you can stop trying to satisfy His justice and gain His approval. That, thankfully, is finished.

Speaker: Aaron Cutshall Christ’s better sacrifice is the death of the Old Covenant and the inauguration of the New Covenant.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths What the old could not do in perfecting the conscience of the worshiper, the new in Christ does.

Speaker: Connor Shady Cherishing Christ’s Work on Our Behalf: From Temporary to Finished

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Praying to God is part of our fellowship with God. Prayer void of right content is empty, impotent, and vain. Thus, the act of praying is of no benefit, for even the unbeliever ‘prays.’ But prayer guided by right content deepens one’s fellowship with God . Today’s study focuses on the confessional nature of the Lord’s Prayer and how it can deepen our fellowship...

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths When Jesus took on human nature, He fulfilled God’s design for the saving of His people.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Matthew’s genealogy proves Jesus is the MESSIAH. Jesus is the fulfillment of the SEED PROMISE. When we read this genealogy, we can only respond with, “BUT GOD!” Friends, as we consider this strange and marvelous journey of preparation, let us worship deeply our immutable and incomprehensible God.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Everything points to Jesus Christ as the fullest and final great high priest who, on the basis of a New Covenant, mediates before the Father in behalf of His people.  

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths In the promise of a New Covenant, Israel is offered redemption and hope even as they enter into captivity and displacement.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Because Jesus has been appointed a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, He can offer a better means, hope, promise, intercession, and sacrifice than that offered by the line of Levi.

Jesus has been foreseen as the Priest-King who brings in God’s judgment against the unbelieving and victory for the believing.

Speaker: Elder Mike Davis The author of Hebrews has been addressing a Hebrew audience with an appeal for Jesus.  This parenthetical section reveals that some within the fellowship may have initially professed faith in Christ but are now abandoning Jesus to return to Judaism.  The author’s stern warning against turning from Christ raises a long debated theological question. Can a Christian lose the...

Speaker: Patrick J. Griffiths Because Jesus is our Great High Priest, we can draw near and we are acceptable before Him for our good.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner Enter the promised rest by believing Jesus. We don’t value rest. We don’t know how to rest. We don’t believe God regarding rest. Rest finds a home with the other four-letter words we look down on. The promise of rest is still on the table. Rest is available. The exhortation in this text comes as a sobering warning not to forfeit this rest or fail to reach it.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner Today, if you have ears to hear and eyes to see, take care how you respond to God. The author of Hebrews writes this lengthy exhortation to his audience to listen and believe. He is calling his audience to listen intently to the voice of God who speaks directly through his Son (Heb. 1). He’s encouraging his audience to see Jesus and consider who Jesus is and what he’s...

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner Considering Jesus as God’s message of rest calls for a better response than rejecting it through unbelief.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Jesus, like Moses, is faithful over His responsibilities, but unlike Moses, is a son and not a servant. The builder and not the building. Jesus is better than the Old Testament best.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Jesus, in His identification with us, answers for us our sin issue. The previous section, Heb. 1:1-2:4, forms a single unit showing Jesus as the superior revelation of God and concludes with a warning not to drift from believing in Him.  Because He is the exact representation of God, He is God.  This following section now explains His humanity, the reason for it...

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Jesus Christ, as Son, is set above angels in importance. If rejecting the revelation received from angels brought condemnation, how much more will the condemnation be if we reject Jesus?

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths In Jesus Christ we have the fullest and final word from God and it is to Him we must look and listen.  Jesus is better than the Old Testament best. It isn’t that the old is bad, only that Jesus is better!

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Everything in the Old Testament pointed to and prepared us for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Book of Hebrews is clear, there is no one beside Him and there is nothing beyond Him. If one rejects Jesus, there is no escaping the damnation from God. Everything in Hebrews points to Jesus as the Great High Priest (8:1) and not to accept Jesus is to reject H...
