Psalm 34 teaches that no matter our circumstances or the trials of this life, nothing can keep us from experiencing the goodness of God. In this sermon, Pastor Neal looks at the experience, expression, and expectation of God’s goodness found in this psalm.

The book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus always lives to make intercession for his people. He is our great High Priest, interceding on our behalf. In this sermon from Hebrews 7:20-28, Pastor Phil looks at three more reasons why the priesthood of Christ is far superior to what came before: Jesus is our guarantee of a better covenant, he is our eternal advocate, and he is our perfect sacrifice. Christ is all we will ever need! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The eternal priesthood of Christ is far superior to what came before, and it offers us a better hope that allows us to draw near to God.

In this sermon from Hebrews 7:1-10, Pastor Neal looks at what the Bible has to say about Melchizedek, including his greatness, his character, and his superiority. We see that he represented a type and form of what was to come—the perfect and eternal priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The writer of Hebrews wants us to know that we can always trust in the promises of God.

We can rest assured that the promises of God will always be true, and will always come to pass. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The writer of Hebrews wanted us to run the race of faith well, having the full assurance of hope until the end. In this sermon from Hebrews 6:9-12, Pastor Phil looks at both the encouragement of hope and the exhortation of hope that can be found in this passage.

Christian, are you continuing to grow and mature in your walk with Christ? In this sermon from Hebrews 5:11-6:3, Pastor Phil looks at the writer’s picture of spiritual immaturity, as well as his admonition to never stop growing—realizing that it takes a desire and effort on our part, but only comes about by the grace and help of the Lord. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this sermon from Hebrews 5:1-10, Pastor Neal looks at the scriptural qualifications to be a high priest—that he be chosen from among men, act on behalf of men in relation to God, offer gifts and sacrifices for sin, deal gently with the ignorant and the wayward, and that he be appointed by God. Jesus Christ, appointed both son and high priest by God, is the superior high priest and the source of our salvation. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this sermon from Hebrews 4:12-16, Pastor Phil looks at the two greatest resources we’ve been given as we run the race of faith: the Word of God and the Son of God.
