Hebrews

In our last sermon from our Christmas Gifts series, Pastor Todd Martin helps us see the importance of Christ's embodied obedience.

In today's sermon we see the confidence, access, and advocacy we have to the Father in Christ that helps us keep drawing near in love together.

In today's sermon, Pastor David walks us through the immense love Christ has for us and his unique ability to offer it.

Here is Hebrews we learn that the church is a gathered assembly based on faith in Christ, hope in his promises, and in light of his love.

Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever we are free to do his will. He is the God of peace as the victor over the enemy and he calls us into brotherhood. Therefore, we do his will in the community of peace for his good purpose.

Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever we, as God's people, are free in all circumstances to offer praise to God. Our praise does not depend on everything being perfect, our praise depends on the perfect One.

The fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever emboldens believers to move forward in their lives and into the world with courage. In Christ, the church is free to risk and sacrifice much for the glory of God's kingdom.

The fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever means that he is our anchor that frees us to love others and flee from self-seeking. As we rest our lives on the unchanging One we are liberated to place others above ourselves, knowing our ultimate satisfaction is in Christ.

We live in an ever-changing world, a world that seems very different from the times of which the Bible speaks; however, we worship an unchanging Savior. It is Jesus' unchanging nature that gives us surety in a changing world. Hence, Jesus has been, is, and will always be Savior.

No one can ever say that Jesus cannot understand their situation or suffering. Jesus took on flesh and came to us in order that he may be our hope in our sufferings. In condescending Jesus demonstrates his love and care for his people. He loves us in to adoption as brothers and sisters.
