FROM DISAPPOINTMENT TO APPOINTMENT
Hebrews 9:15-28 1. Jesus Brings Us into the Presence of God Our greatest need is not simply for our circumstances to improve—it is to be right before God. The old covenant, with its earthly tabernacle and repeated sacrifices, pointed toward the greater reality of God’s presence. Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, brings us…

AN EMPTY ROOM & A FULL HEART
Hebrews 9:1-14 1. Jesus Brings Us into the Real Presence of God The tabernacle’s rooms and furnishings were not the destination; they pointed forward to something greater.

A PLACE FOR YOU
We all yearn to belong and know that we do. As we begin our annual revisit of who we are as Beloved Church, we start with seeing how the Lord’s Supper reminds us that, because of Jesus, we have a place. Listen to Pastor Kevin’s message, A PLACE FOR YOU.

A LIFE IN LOVE FOR YOU
1 Corinthians 11:23-34 1. Remember Who You Are Paul reminds the Corinthians of the meal Jesus instituted on the night before His crucifixion.

A COMMUNITY FOR YOU
1 Corinthians 11:17-26 1. Jesus Knows You—and Still Gives Himself for You Paul confronts the Corinthians because their divisions had infected even the Lord’s Supper.
