Grace Bible Church of Washington, Illinois

In today’s teaching, Dr. Jeff Webb walks us through Hebrews 8, highlighting the beauty and assurance of the “better covenant” established through Jesus Christ. As the writer of Hebrews contrasts the limitations of the old covenant with the grace and permanence of the new, we are reminded that our hope rests not in ritual or tradition, but in a faithful God who draws near to His people. This message invites us to rest in Christ’s finished work and to live with confidence, gratitude, and renewed devotion under the covenant written on our hearts.

In today’s teaching, Dr. Webb returns to the Chosen sermon series and gently invites us into the world of the Book of Hebrews, written to first-century Jewish Christians who were courageously navigating the difficult transition from lifelong traditions of the Law and Temple worship to faith in Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. Centered on Hebrews 6:13–20, this message explores the contrast between fragile human promises and the unbreakable promises of God, grounding our assurance in who God is and where Christ now stands.

Christmas is more than a season of nostalgia—it’s a season of peace and hope. In this opening message of our Christmas series, From God, With Love, Pastor Jeff begins by unwrapping the first and perhaps most misunderstood gift: peace.

Drawing from Luke’s account of Christ’s birth, Isaiah’s prophecy of the Prince of Peace, and the rich Hebrew meaning of shalom, we discover that God’s peace is not an idea, a feeling, or a temporary calm—it is a Person. Unlike the fragile peace offered by the world, God’s peace restores what is broken, reconciles what is divided, and points us toward a secure and glorious future in Him.

In this week’s message, Better Things (Hebrews 6:1–12), Dr. Jeff Webb guides us through one of the most misunderstood passages in the New Testament—often feared, frequently misread, but written with a deeply pastoral heart. Instead of a threat meant to terrify believers, Hebrews 6 is a loving warning, calling God’s people to move beyond spiritual infancy, reject the “dead works” of empty religion, and embrace the “better things” that accompany genuine salvation. Drawing from the rich context of Hebrews and the writer’s concern for his struggling congregation, Dr. Webb explains the difference between true faith and superficial association, clarifies what apostasy really means, and shows why verse 9 is the turning point that brings clarity, hope, and assurance. This message invites you to examine your walk with Christ—not in fear, but with confidence that God is growing better things in the lives of His true children.

In this episode, Pastor Jeff continues our journey through Hebrews 4 by exploring what it truly means to approach God’s throne with confidence. Using the imagery of “flying closer to the Flame,” he shows how the Holy Spirit draws believers into deeper intimacy, assurance, and boldness.

What does it mean that Jesus was “touched by our weakness”? In this powerful episode, Dr. Jeff Webb unpacks Hebrews 4:15 and shows how the Great High Priest not only knows our struggles—He stepped into them. This message reveals how the cross fulfilled the final Yom Kippur once and for all, offering grace and mercy that reaches every broken heart.

Many of us grew up playing “hide and seek,” a simple childhood game filled with laughter. But for many believers, that game never really ended—we’re still hiding, only now it’s from God. In today’s message, Dr. Webb explores a familiar passage of Scripture that reveals an inescapable truth: we are always in the presence of God. Through the convicting and comforting work of the Holy Spirit, we are reminded that God sees us, knows us, and calls us—not to hide—but to walk openly with Him.

In this first message of a three-part series on Jesus our Great High Priest, Dr. Jeff Webb takes us on a journey through Hebrews 4:14, uncovering the depth behind the phrase, “Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens.”

What did this mean to the first Hebrew Christians—and what does it mean for us today? Discover how Jesus’ ascension through the heavens completed what the earthly priest could only begin, and how His finished work invites us to hold fast to our confession with confidence and hope.

What does it mean to have a "hardened" heart as mentioned in scripture? And what does a person's life look like who lives wiht a hardened heart toward God? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Webb encourages us to resist having a hardened heart and shares with us the benefits of a tender heart.

Have you ever sat an thought about what it would be like to live with God in the flesh? In this episode, Dr. Webb challenges us to do just that--to consider Jesus. To meditate on what he did for us, and to consider all of the suffering and sacrifices he made for us while on this Earth.
