The Gift of Jesus

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
¹⁶“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 3:14-18

Greater Faith, Part 1

March 15, 2017 by Brad Murphy

1. Let us DRAW NEAR | Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

>In what ways is your heart cleansed by Jesus blood and our body washed with living water? Find examples in 26-39
>What are some ways people draw near to God?

2. Let us HOLD FAST | Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

>What does the author say is the reason we can hold onto hope? Find examples in 26-39.
>What other things do people put their hope in? Do they satisfy?
>How can a person hold on to Gospel Hope?

3. Let us STIR UP | Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

>In what ways do you think people miss out on experiencing true love?
>When did you experience authentic love? Compile a list of what authentic love looks like.
>What can we do, as a church, to overcome these obstacles and express love to one another and our community? Can you find examples in 26-39?

Greater Temple

March 7, 2017 by Brad Murphy

Remember that you have been purified, you are a promise, and you are perfected for all time in Christ Jesus. No longer slaves to fear. No longer chained to our mistakes and failures. No longer without hope! Jesus’ work is greater than any earthly temple, ritual, or priest. He makes temple work, priestly confession, and animal sacrifice obsolete. No more shedding of blood needed. His work is profoundly internal, intensely spiritual, and deeply personal.

Purified for WORSHIP | Hebrews 9:1-14
Jesus has been cleansed for worship and He has become the light of the world (Candle stand), the bread of life (Table of Show Bread), the fragrant offering (Altar of Incense), and shed blood for the forgiveness of sins (Ark of the Covenant). We too have been cleansed, by the blood of Christ. We are made right with God and can enter his courts with praise and confidence.

Promised for ETERNITY | Hebrews 9:15-28
The Tent was temporary, Jesus work is Forever. Jesus died as a sacrifice ONCE FOR ALL, this makes Him greater. He gave himself as a promise of an eternal inheritance. We are friends of God, we are joint heirs with Jesus, and we are given a clear conscience.

Perfected for all TIME | Hebrews 10:1-18
In the Tent, sins were only covered for a year, but in Jesus, our sins are wiped away for all time. You are right in Jesus, it is finished; You have access into the Holy Place. We are perfected for all time.
