Thanksgiving Sermon 2021
Beautiful Savior SeaTac WA


Thanksgiving is a special moment to reflect on God’s abundant grace that He pours out in our lives through so many ways.  Food, clothing, shelter, family, friends, freedom, forgiveness and the list goes on.

As we give thanks we are encouraging people to bring donations for local food banks to this worship service. Joining us from outside of the area? There are still plenty of ways we can think of the needs of others as we give thanks for what God has given to us.

Last Sunday of the Church Year
Mark 13

Be Alert! Stay Awake!

Do you lose sleep because of your faith? Is that what Jesus is saying? Jesus has both a warning and a promise in calling you to stay awake.

All that Christ won for you, all that he has done for you, is delivered to you in the words of the gospel. Jesus’ words are active and effective. They do what they say and they give you what they promise. So we are called to stay awake in our faith because of what and who we know. Don't sleep on this!

Why bother with the church 
Sermon Audio from November 14th, 2021

25th Sunday after Pentecost 

Hebrews 10

Why are you here? 

Why bother with the church at all? 

The number of people attending worship keeps going down and what becomes striking is what drives people to gather in worship. What you value and motivates you to come or what pushes you away can completely miss the point. Today we look at Hebrews 10 and hear why it matters. For Jesus has drawn near to God. Through His sacrifice you have been cleansed and as we gather we receive what has been accomplished by our Lord. Join us as we gather to be strengthened in the confession. 

Why do we bother, because despite our reasonings this is where God draws near to us.

Once For All Life
Hebrews 9
All Saints Day Remembrance 

Life has a once for all quality about it. We live and grow older and face death once. There is no going back. Today we see that our Lord's actions have the same attribute. Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Promise in the Blood
Hebrews 9

Language can change the way we hear the message. However, the Good News, Gospel, Promise of God does not change. 

He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

This is the wonderful gospel news that we celebrate today. Sacrifices are not something that we like thinking about, but Jesus’ sacrifice was once for all. Not through defiled blood, or animal blood but through holy blood. This is why Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant, his blood did what no other blood could. And he did it once for all.

Eternal High Priest
Hebrews 7


He holds His priesthood permanently

In the Old Testament, there was a whole succession of priests under the Levitical system, some good some bad, but none were perfect. Under Jesus, there is no successor. He is the one priest who perpetually saves. His life and works were spent as the one perfect priest. He is the one through his perfection and life ensures our salvation. 

He is the High Priest that we all need and He is there for you forever.

True Rest In Christ

Hebrews 4

And God rested on the 7th day.

Rest is vital not just to your physical health but to your spiritual health as well. As much as we often seek rest, we fail at finding true rest. All of our needs are never truly and fully satisfied. In our reading of Hebrews today we hear a warning about true rest. For rest is a wonderful way that Scripture talks about God’s eternal paradise. Congregation of God, don't miss the opportunity to enter into God's rest.

A Rebelling Heart
Heb. 3:12–19

The journey of faith was never promised to be an easy one. The journey of faith is often connected to Israel's journey to the promised land. As a church, the community the author of Hebrews warns of the dangers we face. For, Israel rebelled against God as they faced the promised land in the wilderness. We are called to encourage and uplift each other. Why? Because God has given you a greater salvation than land and the time to act is today

Jesus Knows Your Weaknesses
October 3rd 2021
Hebrews 2:1–18


Have you trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? Jesus knows your every weakness—Take it to the Lord in prayer. WHY?! Because He knows your every weakness and He has done something about it. He who created all things became lower than the angels to accomplish God’s goal so that you might be holy. 


Jesus became the one and only perfect Son of Man and humbled Himself for you. He allowed Himself to suffer and die so that He could release you from your fears, redeem you from your sins, and be there for you when you suffer. Everything He did, He did as the pioneer of your salvation.

Jesus knows your every weakness and has done something about it.

Readings for the day 

11:4–6, 10–16, 24–29

When God provides everything that is needful… sometimes it is not what you want or when you want it. 

Israel look at the food from heaven and the cloth that never wore out and the water that came from rocks and it just was not enough. Certainly, we would never complain like the Israelites, right?

Unfortunately, we too are often more proficient at itemizing our grievances than counting our blessings. The truth is, at times, lacking is the only sermon that gets our attention. 

C.S. Lewis wrote: “We can rest contentedly in our sins and in our stupidities; and anyone who has watched gluttons shoveling down the most exquisite foods as if they did not know what they were eating, will admit that we can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” 

If your lacking is great join us as God speaks past our wants with a greater message.
