A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” A reality TV show featured a man who proudly lives his life as an “adult baby.” At age 30, he sleeps in a crib and eats his dinner from a personalized high chair while wearing a baby bib and pajamas. He said he first got the urge to act like a baby at age 14 when he bought himself a pacifier and a baby bottle. Everyone would agree there’s something very wrong with an adult choosing to live like an infant. But what about Christians, who, instead of maturing in their faith, decide to keep living as spiritual infants? Hebrews will call out those stuck in spiritual infancy. He’ll tell them to grow up! Truth be told, we all have some growing up to do in our faith. Join us tomorrow for a challenging yet encouraging study of Hebrews.

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” He is risen! Easter Sunday morning proved once and for all that Jesus is greater than death. As the perfect sacrifice for our sins, Jesus is the source of eternal salvation. And He gives us the confidence to approach God’s throne of grace where we will receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Join us as we celebrate the resurrection with songs of praise, testimonies, baptisms, and a life-giving message from God’s Word.

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” Sleep studies are on the rise. Those who find rest to be elusive will do everything possible to figure out why. We were created for rest, but the physical rest that restores our bodies is nothing in comparison to the spiritual rest available through Christ. Join us as we look at some of the barriers that stand in the way of this rest, and the gateways that make it possible. We’ll also celebrate Palm Sunday with our children remembering Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It’s going to be an awesome morning together!

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” We’re launching a new sermon series on the New Testament letter to the Hebrews. The overall message of Hebrews is JESUS IS GREATER. Greater than what? Jesus is greater than everything! The early Christians needed to be reminded of the supremacy of Christ over all people and things. You might wonder how they lost sight of such a fundamental fact about the Savior. The answer is persecution. They were beginning to experience affliction for following Jesus. As a result, many were drifting from the faith. But through the Book of Hebrews, God urged them to persevere because Jesus is greater than any trouble that could come their way. We need this message today because we too can forget that Jesus is greater than anything or anyone. Jesus is greater than the war in Ukraine. He’s greater than our anxieties, addictions, and insecurities. He’s greater than the stock market. He’s greater than our greatest fears. And because He is greater we have every reason to keep following Him. Join us as we open up the Book of Hebrews.

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” It’s easy for our hearts to drift to lesser things than Jesus… to worship the lesser gods we find in this world, rather than the One true God. That’s one of the warnings given to us in the book of Hebrews. As we gather for worship this Sunday, we’ll find that the antidote to drift is not doing more, but having a greater knowledge and therefore a greater love of the One who made us, sustains us, saves us, and will reign over us for all of eternity. Join us as we discover the fullness of Jesus in a way you may not have understood him before.

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” On a warm Southern California day in June 2002, Richard Van Pham set out in his 26-foot sailboat from Long Beach harbor to Catalina Island. The three-hour voyage turned into a three-month journey of desolation and survival. His ordeal started when a storm broke the boat’s mast, rendered the communication system inoperable, and ruined the outboard motor. Thankfully, van Pham was rescued when a Navy plane spotted the drifting vessel almost 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica.
The Book of Hebrews will warn us of the dangers of spiritual drift. It can happen to any of us. Hebrews 2:1-9 will tell us to anchor our lives on God and His Word. Please come ready to hear how you can escape the danger of drifting away from the Lord.

A sermon from the series “Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER.” We call Jesus ‘Lord’ because He is greater than us. We call Him ‘Savior’ because He is our redeemer. But what does Jesus call us? Amazingly, He calls us ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ [Hebrews 2:11-12]. We are Jesus’ siblings because, in becoming flesh and blood, He identifies with us in every way. Join us as we see Jesus as the great big brother who accepts us, protects us, sacrifices for us, and is never ashamed of us!
