The Eternal Covenant
As this message in Hebrews closes, we are reminded of our actions: to be hospitable, to remember those in prison, to honor marriage, to “imitate their (our leaders) faith”. Then a few more things at the conclusion, Hebrews 13:15-19 to…
The New and Living Way
The first covenant, the Law, was ratified by blood. It says here in Hebrews that everything is purified by blood which we really don’t quite understand. We would say we have moved beyond that barbaric blood sacrifice kind of thinking.…
He is Able to Save Completely
In Hebrews 5:10 the message had been “the source of eternal salvation”, “a high priest” and here in Hebrews 7, we come back to that message. Jesus is not just a high priest according to the law, in fact, he…
Taste The Good Word of God
The main message here is that God is not far away separating himself from us as if we were untouchables, that is the way the world works. God is acknowledging his Son Jesus Christ as our high priest, the one…
Today If You Hear His Voice
Hebrews opens with God speaking through a son, Jesus Christ. Then it says in Hebrews 2:3 that “salvation had its beginning when it was spoken through the Lord”. But the only way for that salvation to be accomplished was, in…

The Galatians were hindered in their walk as Christians by someone that wanted to pull followers away for themselves. This often happens and it is important for us to test what people are saying against God’s word rather than just…
For Freedom Christ Has Made Us Free
Some have come into the church at Galatia trying to bring them back under the law. Paul reminds them that the law came after the promise. The promise to Abraham was given by God and believed by Abraham long before…

This Salvation of God Has Been Sent to the Gentiles
Paul is on the ship the fourteenth night and has had God’s promise that not only would he go to Rome, but all on the ship would be saved. But the sailors believe they are close to land and try…
I Saw A Light From Heaven
In Acts 25:23 we find that Festus, the new governor has invited King “Agrippa and Bernice (his wife) (who) came with great pageantry and entered into the audience hall, along with military tribunes and the most prominent men of the…
According to the Way So I Worship
Paul is taken from Jerusalem to Caesarea for his own safety because the Jews want to kill him. The governor agrees to hear the charges so the high priest and elders come with their attorney, all making accusations against Paul.…
In All Good Conscience Before God
Paul is back in Jerusalem and offers a gesture demonstrating that he also, in Acts 21:24, was “observing the law”. But accusations came (read more) and Paul responds by defending himself. This is often our first reaction and many times…
The Will of the Lord Be Done
Paul is set on his course to Jerusalem. And on his return, he stops to meet with church leaders along the way. In Miletus, he meets with those from Ephesus, and reminds them of the time he has spent with…
