Esther 1:1-2:18 The book of Esther is one of the most unique books in all of Scripture because God’s name is never mentioned. Yet as we read it together, His sovereign hand is impossible to miss. Esther reminds us that God’s silence is not His absence. Even when He seems hidden, He is faithfully accomplishing […]

Hebrews 7:1-10 This Sunday we returned to one of the central themes of Hebrews: Jesus is better. The preacher resumes his discussion of Melchizedek, a mysterious figure who briefly appears in Genesis 14. After Abram rescues Lot and defeats the coalition of kings, he returns victorious with the spoils of war. Along the way he

Hebrews 6:13-20 We want our lives to count. We want our work, our relationships, our sacrifices, and our faith to matter. We want to know that our years are moving toward something meaningful. But what happens when life becomes difficult? What happens when prayers seem unanswered, suffering lingers, or the promises of God appear delayed?

Hebrews 5:11-6:12 This past Sunday, we explored one of the more sobering warnings in Hebrews. The author pauses his discussion of Jesus’ priesthood to address a concern among his readers: spiritual laziness. His concern is not merely that they lacked information, but that they had stopped progressing. Though they had heard much, they had not

Hebrews 4:14-5:10 1. Jesus Understands Our WeaknessHebrews 4 tells us that Jesus has passed through the heavens as our great High Priest. Yet despite His exaltation, He is not distant or detached. He sympathizes with our weaknesses. He knows temptation. He knows suffering. He knows grief, tears, prayers, and dependence upon God. The difference is

Hebrews 4:1-13 Most of us are running hard after something. A promotion. A purchase. Approval. Security. Significance. Even rest itself. Yet the harder we chase satisfaction, the more elusive it often becomes. 1. We Are Looking for Rest in the Wrong PlacesHebrews 4 points back to Israel in the wilderness. They heard God’s promise, but

Hebrews 3:1-6 We spend much of life evaluating ourselves and others. Sometimes those evaluations are shallow. Sometimes they are harsh. Sometimes they are deeply misleading. But Hebrews calls us to shift our attention somewhere better: “Consider Jesus.” 1. Consider the BuilderHebrews 3 reminds us that Jesus is not merely part of God’s house—He is the

Hebrews 2:5-18 So many of us enter worship carrying reminders of failure, shame, and insufficiency. 1. We Know Something Is WrongAncient Olympic stadiums once displayed statues of disgraced athletes—warnings to everyone entering that cheating leads to shame. In many ways, we walk into worship feeling similarly aware of our failures. Hebrews reminds us that humanity

Hebrews 1:5-14 1. The Illusion of SatisfactionWe scroll, we consume, we chase stimulation—yet boredom persists. In fact, the very things we turn to in order to escape boredom often deepen it. Endless content gives us the feeling of engagement without the substance of it. Boredom itself isn’t the enemy. It’s often an invitation—a signal pushing

Hebrews 1:1-4 1. The Search for Origin and IdentitySo many stories revolve around this question: Who am I, really? We feel it too. Beneath everything else, we want to understand our origin so we can make sense of our lives. Hebrews opens with a powerful claim: God has spoken. Not just through creation or prophets
