Shelter Fellowship Church

The blood of Jesus does more than pardon guilt. It cleanses us from sin and makes us fit to serve the living God.

We continue our study of the purification offering through Hebrews and 1 John, asking: How does Jesus cleanse us from sin?

In this sermon, we explore the biblical categories of holy and common, clean and unclean, and see how God graciously made it possible for mortal and sinful people to remain near His presence.

We then turn to Jesus, the Holy One who entered the world of the unclean—cleansing lepers, forgiving sins, driving out unclean spirits, and overcoming death itself.

The Peace Offering was the only sacrifice in which God, the priests, and the worshipper all shared in the same meal. It proclaimed that by God's gracious provision, those who once stood far off could now draw near and enjoy fellowship with Him.

We continue the teaching series, The Better Sacrifice, and see how this offering points beyond itself to Jesus Christ, who has reconciled us to the Father and now invites us to His table.

Why did God give Israel sacrifices?

Were they merely ancient religious rituals, or were they teaching something far greater?

We begin a new teaching series, The Better Sacrifice, with The Whole Burnt Offering.

Together, we'll see that the sacrifices of the Old Testament were never the destination. They pointed beyond themselves to Jesus Christ, whose perfect obedience and self-offering accomplished what countless animal sacrifices never could.

From Cain’s city to Babel, from Pharaoh to Babylon, Scripture shows us the same old pattern: fallen powers rising up and holding people in bondage.

But the Exodus showed us the God who hears, judges, delivers, and redeems.

And in Christ, God has accomplished the Greater Exodus. He delivered us from sin, death, the devil, and the authority of darkness.

In this episode, we conclude our series, Christ Our Passover

The blood protected Israel in the midst of judgment, but the sea brought them into freedom.

Join us as we see how the Exodus points to our union with Christ through baptism and the new life He has won for His people.

When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He commanded them to remove the leaven from their homes. It was a sign that they were leaving the old life behind.

“Christ our Passover has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast… with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

In this episode, we consider the call to holiness that flows from redemption.

When Jesus gathered with His disciples on the night before the cross, He took the Passover meal and centered it on Himself:

“This is My body given for you.”

“This cup is the new covenant in My blood.”

But what does it mean to gather at the Lord’s Table? Why does the apostle Paul move from speaking about Communion to warning about idols?

This Sunday, as we continue our Christ Our Passover series, we’ll explore how the Lord’s Supper is more than a memorial—it is a declaration of fellowship, participation, and allegiance to the crucified and risen Christ.

The redeemed do not merely admire the Lamb. They feed on Him.

The Passover was not only a sacrifice—it was a meal.

We consider how Christ nourishes, sustains, and forms His people around His table.

Not every lamb could be offered. The Passover lamb had to be without blemish. Its perfection mattered.

And when John the Baptist saw Jesus, he cried: “Behold the Lamb of God!”

We consider the holiness, innocence and worthiness of Christ — the true Passover Lamb.
