Pastor Shane continues in our series through Hebrews as he discusses the greatness of Jesus as the mediator between God and man. This was a controversial subject during this time because the high priest was always respected as the mediator with God. Jesus's life, death, and resurrection abolishes the previous law and he takes the place as the greatest mediator.

Throughout the early church's history Moses was revered as a great leader - miraculously saved from genocide and chosen by God to lead His people out of bondage. Jesus and Moses had several similarities, but one thing sets Jesus far apart from Moses: Jesus is the Son of God, embodying the fullness of God while clothed as a man. Pastor Shane diagnoses the similarities and differences in the two, and what makes Jesus a greater leader.

Pastor Shane continues in our Greater Than series focusing on the greatness of angels compared to the greatness of Jesus. Although Jesus took on the form of a human and suffered the lowliest death on a cross, Jesus is greater than all the heavenly beings as the Son of God.

Pastor Shane kicks off a new series titled "Greater Than" where we focus on who Jesus is as described in the book of Hebrews. Jesus came to earth and lived a perfect life, took our place on the cross for our salvation, and is now seated at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus is Greater!

Lance shares a parable from the book of Luke including two men, one who exalted himself in prayer and another who humbled himself. We learn from this story that we can never be justified by our own works, it is only through Christ we can receive this gift.

Mike Johnson with Gospel for Asia shares about the work being done for the gospel in unreached parts of the world. Through our support as a church, they have been able to share the hope we have through Jesus to many people, and several thousand have come to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

Pastor David share an encouraging message from Romans 8. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God.

Pastor Shane wraps up the summer series on parables with the story of the wise and foolish builders, one who built their house on the sand and the other on a solid foundation. Jesus tells this story as a reminder that as believers our foundation determines our ability to weather the storms of life that will come. A solid foundation built on Him is one to surely stand while one built on sandy soil will succumb to the stormy weathers.

David Kaya, founder of Empower One, shares an important reminder with us to always keep our eyes focused on the things above. As Believers we can be encouraged that our hope and assurance does not rest in the things of this world and we should courageously go after those around us who do not share the same hope.

In today's world we like the hear the sugar-coated, happy ending to the story, but Jesus tells a story that is not so heartwarming. Pastor Shane dives into the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus which takes us through a story of a man who went to heaven when he passed on from this earth, and a man who went to Hades. The details in this story remind us that this world is not our forever home and it is important to share the hope we have through Christ with those around us before it is too late.
