Next Message: Worship in the Splendor of God's Holiness

Dan Mitchum - March 26, 2023

The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is one of the world’s greatest works of art. For more than 400 years, Michelangelo’s masterpiece was only visible via sunlight and candlelight. Sadly, soot from the burning candles eventually obscured the brilliance of the priceless painting. It eventually took a team of artists 13 years to restore the ceiling to its original glory.

Before restoration, some in the art community criticized Michelangelo’s work as too dark, monochromatic, and bland. And yet, when the frescoes were returned to their original state, everyone saw them for what they truly were—breathtakingly beautiful and vibrant.

Similarly, for us, the years of soot, grime, and dust of daily life can cloud our vision of God’s glory and majesty. And how is our view of God restored? Through worship. Join us Sunday as Psalm 96 brings us back to the splendor of God’s holiness.

Practical Matters

If you like getting emails or letters (remember those?) from close, loving friends you’ll love this last chapter of Hebrews. The great pastoral heart of the author comes to the forefront in his closing words. After twelve chapters of awe-inspiring theology, he now focuses on words of loving application. One by one, he touches on the kinds of behavior by which Christians bring light to a dark and decaying culture. We’ll be reminded to love one another, show kindness and mercy to strangers, choose contentment over greed, and other marks of authentic Christian living. Please join us as we learn from God’s Word.

Scripture References: Hebrews 13:1-8

From Series: "Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER"

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.
