Hebrews 11 - part 1

Join us this Sunday as we arrive at one of the more iconic passages in scripture, Hebrews 11, where the author highlights a select group of individuals known for demonstrating great faith in challenging situations. What can we learn from them?

Greater Than - Hebrews | Let Us Not Shrink Back - 11

Hebrews 10

Throughout our study of the tabernacle, we’ve learned that once Christ shed his blood on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for us, we no longer need to practice the sacrifices and rituals of the old law. God has made a new covenant with us, and we now have full, direct access to him—no barriers, no middleman. Because of what Jesus did, we’re invited into a real, close relationship with confidence, not fear.

 

But this isn’t just about us individually. We need to look out for each other and encourage one another toward love, growth, and doing good. We shouldn’t drift away from community—it matters, especially when life gets hard.

 

Stay steady. Keep going. There’s a reward coming, but it requires endurance. Don’t shrink back. Don’t give up. Keep trusting, keep moving forward, and your faith will be richly rewarded.

Hebrews 10

This Sunday, we’ll continue our study of Hebrews and the system of sacrifices and priestly duties that occurred in the tabernacle.

 

In chapter 10, the author pulls back the curtain on a hard truth: all those repeated sacrifices were never enough—they were reminders of sin, not a real solution. But when Jesus stepped in and did what no system ever could, everything changed.

 

Now the invitation is bold and personal: don’t hang back. Draw near to God with confidence, hold tightly to hope, and don’t drift into isolation. Because when you truly grasp what Christ has done, the question isn’t just what do you believe?—it’s how will you live in response?

Hebrews 9

This Sunday we’ll step into Hebrews 9 as we continue studying the tabernacle and the powerful contrast between the old system of priesthood and the new way provided by Christ.

The rituals and sacrifices of the tabernacle appeared holy on the outside, but they couldn’t truly clean the inside. Thankfully, there came a pivotal moment when Jesus offered Himself as the required sacrifice. Not a repeated ritual, but a decisive, once-and-for-all rescue.

Are you still relying on outward religion, or have you experienced the freedom of full cleansing through Jesus? Join us this week as we consider the authenticity of our faith.

Hebrews 8

This week we return to our study of Hebrews and explore the “new covenant” established by God that is far greater than the former. At the center of this new covenant is Jesus, our perfect High Priest, who sits in the heavens with God the Father.

 

We’ll get a new perspective of Christ through his priesthood and begin examining the functions of the tabernacle, focusing on the outer gate and the door this week. Over the next few weeks, we’ll go deeper as we enter into the outer court and eventually reach the innermost sacred chamber, the Holy of Holies.

 

What does this new covenant mean for the believer? Where is the tabernacle today, and where does God dwell? Join us this week to find out!

Easter Sunday

What If I Told You | Pastor Chris Helle

We’ll have a wonderful Easter together as we look at the gospel account of John and view the resurrection morning through his lens.

 

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

 

Greater Than - Hebrews | Our Intercessor - 7

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Jon Adams

Hebrews 7

This Sunday, we’ll be highlighting a name that we’ve previously encountered in Hebrews. It’s a name that’s both mysterious and significant. Who is Melchizedek? This king and priest takes on a major role in chapter 7, as the author of Hebrews builds a case that Jesus is a greater High Priest — a priest in the order of Melchizedek.

We’ll unpack this enigmatic figure, and in doing so, we’ll get a fuller picture of Jesus’ work on our behalf.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Yet In The Case Of Those | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 6

Join us this Sunday as we heed a warning from the writer of Hebrews about the danger of dwelling too long in immature faith.

It’s like being stuck on the runway, refusing to leave the gate, going over the same pre-flight instructions again and again but never actually taking off.

This week, in one of the more difficult passages of all scripture, we’ll learn to press on to maturity following the IFR of a divine ‘track line’ as our anchor for the soul.

Hebrews 5

Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews in chapter 5.

Leveraging the High Priestly role introduced in chapter 4 that had begun with Aaron, the Hebrew author will encourage us to draw near to the throne of grace and receive mercy to help in time of need.

This Sunday, let’s not be dull of hearing — still needing milk — but instead, let’s intentionally grow people of all ages to a mature faith!

Greater Than - Hebrews | Striving For Rest - 4

Greater Than | Rest! | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 4

This Sunday, we wing our way through Hebrews chapter 4, where we’re reminded that God has prepared a place of true rest, like a destination waiting for travelers after a long flight. But, we’re warned not to miss that destination through unbelief. Just as passengers must listen carefully to the pilot and follow the flight plan, we are called to pay attention to God’s voice and trust His direction.

 

Join us this week as we learn to rest knowing God is in the control tower, and He will provide mercy, guidance, and grace exactly when we need it to keep flying faithfully toward our final destination.
