The New Covenant: A Study of Hebrews

In this sermon, Russ walks through Hebrews 12 and shows how the contrast between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion helps us see the difference between approaching God with fear or approaching Him with joy. Building on Ebony’s insight that God’s “discipline” means loving training rather than punishment, Russ explains why many of us still relate to God as if He’s disappointed or waiting to catch us doing wrong. Using memorable stories—from a wrong-way touchdown to the difference between TSA lines and airport welcome gates—he reminds us that through Jesus we’re invited into the better mountain, the better covenant, and a God who welcomes us home with confidence, grace, and joy.
