Part 26: An Appointed Time

This sermon emphasizes that throughout the Bible, blood is central to purification and forgiveness. The Old Testament sacrifices were symbolic, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus’ blood is unique and final—His sacrifice is not repeated like the old priestly rituals. This underscores the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God.

It warns against misunderstanding the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing that the New Testament is not just an “upgrade” of the Old, nor is God’s character changed between them.

Part 21: A Sermon on a Mount (Part 1)

This sermon emphasizes that the primary mission of the church is to “build Christians.” Just as companies and organizations are known for what they produce (Ford builds cars, Marines build soldiers), the church’s purpose is to nurture and grow followers of Christ. If a church stops focusing on this, especially on ministry to children, it loses its purpose.
Scripture: Hebrews 8:1-5

Part 20: Something to Offer

This sermon centers on the idea that, as individuals and as a church, we truly have nothing to offer God except what He has given us through Christ. Our greatest gift is the Gospel, and our calling is to “go big” in faith, service, and generosity until we reach our eternal home.
Scripture: Hebrews 8:1-3

Part 19: To the Uttermost

This sermon centers on the idea that God demands perfection from humanity, but humans consistently “miss the mark” (sin). The Old Testament sacrificial system and priesthood could not achieve true perfection or lasting reconciliation with God. Only Jesus, as the perfect, eternal, and certain High Priest, can save “to the uttermost.”
Scripture: Hebrews 7:17

This sermon explores the question of whether tithing is a New Testament (NT) command, using Hebrews 7 and the story of Melchizedek and Abraham as the foundation. The preacher emphasizes that the entire Bible points to Jesus and that the ultimate call for Christians is not just to tithe, but to become generous givers of everything they have.
Scripture: Hebrews 7:4-10
