Discovering Jesus – unveiling His work in the book of Hebrews – week 15

Hebrews 6:4-8 provides a helpful warning to ground our faith in Jesus Christ. Pastor Peter guides us through these verses and unveils Jesus’ work to save us and how much he loves us. “For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who shared in the Holy Spirit, who tasted God’s good word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away. This is because, to their own…

Baptism Sunday

This Sunday we celebrated Baptism Sunday. Members of our church family declared publicly the faith and hope that they have in Jesus Christ. “Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be in the…

Discovering Jesus – unveiling His work in the book of Hebrews – week 14

This week Pastor Peter unpacks the question: How do we persevere and grow deeper in our faith when Christian principles are counter cultural? It isn’t about following the rules or checking the boxes.

Discovering Jesus – unveiling His work in the book of Hebrews – week 11

Why do we struggle to approach God when we face times of need that make the mercy and grace of God most necessary? Hebrews 4:14-16 describes Jesus as our Great High Priest and through Him we can approach the throne of grace boldly. He sits with us in the difficulties of life and offers understanding mercy and perfect grace. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast…

Discovering Jesus – unveiling His work in the book of Hebrews – week 10

Why do we struggle to prioritize the bible when the stresses of life make the power of God’s word most important? Pastor Peter walks us through Hebrews 4:12-13 to help us understand why the word of God is the strongest source of truth and help. “12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions…
