Discovering Jesus – unveiling His work in the book of Hebrews – week 38

This week Pastor Peter unpacks Hebrews 11: 13-16. He encourages us that what’s ahead is better than anything here and God is not ashamed to be called our God. 13 These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth. 14 Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they were…

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents as did Isaac and Jacob, coheirs of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith even Sarah…

This Sunday we continue looking at the book of Hebrews. Pastor Peter walks us through Hebrews 11:5-6 encouraging & challenging us with the faith of Enoch. 5 By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away. For before he was taken away, he was approved as one who pleased God. 6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws…

Chan Kim opened the word this Sunday and continued our study through Hebrews. He used Hebrews 11:4 to teach us that God is not focused on the type of offering we bring but our heart behind what we do and why we do it. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks…

This Sunday, Pastor Rob Gerber walks us through Hebrews 11:1-3. 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:1-3 (NIV)

How do we endure deep struggle while maintaining a life of faith? This week, Pastor Peter walks us through Hebrews 10: 32-39 to answer that tough question. 32 Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way. 34 For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy…

This Sunday, Pastor Peter unpacks Hebrews 10: 26-31 to answer the question: Why do we persevere in seasons where we are hurt by Christianity? 26 For if we deliberately go on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who disregarded the law of Moses died without mercy, based on the testimony…

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus— 20 he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh)— 21 and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure…
