Passage: Hebrews 8:1-13 In this message, Philip Stroup dives into why Jesus is seen as the ultimate high priest in Hebrews 8.

Unlike the priests from the Levitical order tied to lineage, Jesus’s priesthood is about righteousness, signifying true connection with God. Remember, Jesus removed sin, offering a new way to relate to God—he…

Hebrews, Part 5
Passage: Hebrews 3:1 – 4:13 In this message, Daniel Goepfrich examined the second warning in the book of Hebrews: the danger of disbelief. Much like the first generation of Israelites who came out of Egypt, Christians who are drifting can develop an “evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.” In Numbers 13-14, the nation did not believe that God could deliver them from the Canaanites, so they were not allowed to enter Canaan. Christians who turn away from Jesus…
