If Jesus Sat Down, Why Are You Still Trying So Hard?

The Old Testament priests never sat down because the work was never done. Jesus sat down because it was. In this message from Hebrews 10, Andrew Farley exposes the exhausting cycle of repeat confession, progressive forgiveness, and guilt-driven religion; and replaces it with the scandalous truth of the New Covenant. Your sins aren't covered. They're removed. You're not partly sanctified. You're fully set apart. Once for all. Sit down and believe it.
