All Sermons in Hebrews

Healthy Fear Intro: Last week I referenced the final scene in the 2005 film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”  Again, while it has some intense scenes, it is much more of a court room drama than a horror film.  (Rated PG-13) What I find most gratifying about the film was the final scene in which…

The Rest What do we think of when we think of “rest?” (Slides) 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My anger,They certainly shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.  4 For He has said somewhere concerning…

The Rest Intro: It’s a good think we left these last two questions for today, they are whoppers. “Rest Slide Illustrations”  3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My anger,They certainly shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of…

Title: “Today“ Intro: (I fully admit, today is a “feel good” message.) Probably the most well known verse in scripture about the concept of “Today” is Hebrews 3:13, (Do not harden your heart while it is still called today) which we looked at back in February, but I hope to demonstrate that today’s lesser known…

Title: Living and Active Intro: This sermon was written at 30,000 feet, with a VERY HIGH view of God.

Title: A Instrument of Unimaginable Depth and Precision Intro: “For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” A sword is a…

Title: All Things Move Toward Their End Intro: I fought the urge to go all linguistic and diagnostic on you and delve into the structure of the Greek and uniqueness of some of these words.  That’s normally how I present a message.  But you probably have noticed I’m on the floor, without a keynote, I…

Title: The “Great” in Great High Priest Intro:  I wrote this as one piece, but it may in fact, end up being two messages, where we take a pause and pick back up next week. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s…

Title: We should do WHAT??? Intro: Have any of you ever been asked to do something so shocking, so ridiculous that your initial reaction was “I must have misunderstood you, can you repeat that?” 16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence,  so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at…
