YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on November 10, 2024.

The book of Hebrews concludes by pulling on one final Old Testament thread: the Kingdom of God. Through Jesus, His church is called to embody Heaven on Earth as we live in this already-not-yet tension. So, what does that look like for us? How can we experience more of His Kingdom in our lives, in our community, and in our world?

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on November 3, 2024.

How would you define "faith"? That word is so foundational to following Jesus that it can easily sound like white noise, losing its power and meaning. This week, we look at Hebrews 11 to clarify what that means and how it enables us to endure whatever we face.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on October 27, 2024.

Last week, we taught that Jesus is our perfect priest, tabernacle, and sacrifice. In light of that, this week in Hebrews 10, the author says how to put that into practice. How do we help each other persevere and keep one another from falling away?

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 20, 2024.

This week, we look at one of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament: the temple, the priests, and the sacrifice. While these might sound strange and foreign in our present-day culture, we'll learn why they matter to us and what they tell us about following Jesus.

Hebrews | Today, If You Hear His Voice, Do Not Harden Your Hearts | October 13

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on October 13, 2024.

This week, we look at Hebrews 3:7-19 which includes a repeated call from an Old Testament story: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." What is the nature of that rebellion, and how is hardening your heart spiritually dangerous? How can we guard our hearts from the deceitfulness of sin?

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 6, 2024.

This week, we look at Hebrews 3. In this chapter, the author focuses on one of the most towering figures of the Old Testament, Moses, and how, as great as he is, he ultimately falls short. So how is Jesus better than Moses, and what does this mean for us as followers of Jesus?

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on September 29, 2024.

We began our new series last week discussing how Hebrews cites hundreds of Old Testament stories, characters, and ideas that all culminate in the person of Jesus. This week, as we look at Hebrews 1-2, the author cites an Old Testament concept that, although it may be foreign to us, is profoundly significant to understanding who Jesus is.

Hebrews | Christ and the New Covenant | September 22

SERMON

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on September 22, 2024.

Near the tail end of our Year of Biblical Literacy, we come to the rich, dense book of Hebrews. It’s full of callbacks and history, threads pulled from all across the Old Testament. The author assumes intimate knowledge of the old covenant –the sacrificial system, the tabernacle, the promised land–and then shows that they were incomplete, only “copies and shadows.” 

Each is an arrow pointing to Christ, who himself becomes the mediator of the new covenant–the perfect high priest, the meeting place between God and man, the source of eternal rest for those united to him.
