90% of Jesus‘s life was unseen. The same will be true with anyone who seeks to be a deeply rooted and mature believer. Join us as we explore what it means to embrace seasons of obscurity.

Spiritually mature believers pursue (often beg for) Christ's compassion, allowing it to fuel their work in expanding His Kingdom.

The deeply rooted and spiritually mature believer is constantly eradicating anything that would steal their worship.

After establishing the principle of “right knowing is the basis for right doing” and conducting a high-level overview of Hebrews 12, we took a deeper dive to unpack the exhortation to look to Jesus as our example as we run the race the race of life that’s been marked out for us.

We answered the questions: Why do we run, how do we run, and who we should run the race of life with.

Our Spiritual DNA, as believers in Christ, is the list in Hebrews 11. Will we take our places in this faith-filled story story to live with resolve and build the kingdom of God in this time?

Christian maturity begins the moment we agree with God's declarations about Himself and about us. According to His Scripture, Christ took away our sins, establishing His holiness and perfection inside of us. What does this mean for us in real time? How can we live in agreement with God's declarations when we still sin and experience earth-bound affections? Hebrews 10 helps us consider as much.

In chapter 9 of Hebrews, we explore why Jesus’ blood is always better than our own sacrifice.

Hebrews 8 introduces Jesus as the mediator of a new and better covenant based on better promises. But before we talk about the new covenant, we must talk about the old covenant. But we cannot talk about the old covenant until we understand what a covenant is in the first place. And to understand the idea of a covenant, we have to understand why God made covenants, and to understand that, we have to go back to the very beginning and learn more about YAHWEH- the covenant making, covenant keeping God of Israel.

In this sermon we examine the character of Melchizedek, the necessity of Christ, and the sufficiency of His sacrifice.

An encouragement to step into spiritual maturity. A challenge to grow up, be warned, and press on.
