On the cross, as Jesus completed the great sacrifice on behalf of our sins, the curtain of the temple that separated The Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom.  Now through the blood of Christ we can enter the holy place and come before God the Father, not just as His servants but as daughter and son.  Everything has changed.  Our life objective has a name.  Our source of life has a name.  His name is Jesus.  Our beautiful confidence and safety in our relationship with God flows out in streams of living water in outward expression.  It looks like boldness in the way we live and love.  Listen as Pastor Rich unpacks Hebrews 10:19-25 in this message titled “What Boldness Looks Like”
