Sep 11, 2022Sermon: The Generative & Penetrative WordBy: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: The Book of HebrewsHebrews 4.12-16: If the word is sharper than any double-edged sword, it holds both a threat and hope.

This is an initial threat, but we are called to trust the great surgeon, who alone knows how to heal and operate on the human soul.

Sep 4, 2022Sermon: The Rest We Long ForBy: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: The Book of HebrewsHebrews 4.1-11: How do we find rest? Not merely for the night, but true rest where the incompleteness of our labors doesn't haunt us. How do we get to the end and have the ability to be at peace with what our life has been? Can it come through our own works, our own accomplishments? No. Only through the completeness of Jesus and his work. Through his work of faithful obedience, we are gifted eternal rest. And by grace, our insufficient work is completed, reconciled, and transformed to eternal beauty. But it is all about him, not us. To his glory and not to our own.

It takes disciplined attention to God's grace, to his kingdom, to keep us on the path of faith. We must encourage each other in this so that none will give up on the path.

Jul 17, 2022Sermon: We See Jesus – Part 2By: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: The Book of HebrewsHebrews 2.5-9: Though we as mankind continue to try to map ourselves based on distant lights and far away knowledge, the Bible tells of the true light coming close in Jesus Christ who gives us the deep knowledge and light that we seek.
