https://youtu.be/O5nsAB__A68 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God …

You may notice that this sermon is rather short. That's because I read Hebrews in its entirety, only giving these brief thoughts before and after that reading. Since Hebrews is a written sermon, I felt it was necessary to hear it read during our gathering for worship on the Lord's Day, as its original recipients …
This Good Friday sermon was preached in 2022. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

https://youtu.be/Rv12UsHMNJU In their album based on the epistle of Hebrews, Psallos has a song about the tabernacle and the old covenant that was made with Israel at Sinai. In that song, they call it a come-but-stay-away covenant, and our present text will display how true that description is. At the very heart of our passage …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EIqBskLLmc Licentiousness is not liberty. Much infernal schemes have made that statement quite difficult to believe, but it is true nonetheless. Freedom is not the ability to do whatever pleases you because a life dictated by pleasure is a life of slavery, a life dominated by momentary desires. Such a life is nothing more than …
Exodus 18 is a positive unfolding of chapter 17. Exodus 17 began with Israel quarreling with Moses, placing God on trial, and God Himself taking Israel’s rightful judgment.
