We have this hope as an anchor – Hebrews 6:13-20 Sermon

Hope is what can keep us going through hard times in life. But what kind of hope do we have as Christians? Is it something only for the future? Are there promises we can look to now? And how do we know God will keep them?

Don’t take spiritual growth for granted – Hebrews 5:11-6:12 Sermon

Some people just assume that Christians will grow, no matter what. But this passage from Hebrews warns us that spiritual growth is not a given, and warns us that it is in fact possible to go in the wrong direction. There is a solemn warning that those who fall away cannot be brought back to repentance. This should be an encouragement to us to keep going, no matter what.

Jesus sympathises with our weaknesses – Hebrews 4:14-5:10 Sermon

This passage gives us confidence to approach God, because Jesus – our great high priest – can sympathise with our weaknesses. He experienced suffering and temptation, and yet he overcame, so he is able to help us in our time of need.

Entering into God’s Rest – Hebrews 4:1-13 Sermon

What does it mean to live in God’s “rest”? How can we enter into it? The passage from today’s sermon explores the promise of entering God’s rest, how it was not fulfilled in the Israelites, and how that promise still stands open for us today.

Do not harden your hearts – Hebrews 3 Sermon

Christians today face so many pressures to give up on Jesus. It seems like there is pressure at every point – work, family, friends, society, media. Fortunately, Christians through the ages have faced this same pressure, and we need to listen to what Hebrews has to say to help us.

Made human in order to die – Hebrews 2:5-18 Sermon

Something which many people through the years have struggled with is the idea of a God who could die for us. Isn’t suffering and dying a bad thing? And why should that be necessary? This passage from Hebrews helps us to understand why Jesus’ death was necessary, why he had to be made fully human.

Stick with Jesus no matter what – Hebrews 1:1-2:4 Sermon

Hebrews was written to encourage Christians who were being persecuted to stick with Jesus no matter what. Its message couldn’t be more relevant to the church today. In this passage we see how Jesus is superior to anything or anyone else, and how we should stick with him.

Jesus, Son of God – Hebrews 1:1-4 Sermon

Yesterday in our church we began a new sermon series for Advent. I was preaching, the passage was Hebrews 1:1-4. The idea behind this series is to try to understand that Jesus is more than a ‘baby in a manger’: people often like to see the manger at Christmas time, but then leave Jesus there.

In this sermon we think about three reasons we shouldn’t leave Jesus in the manger!

During the sermon I mention our church’s Ask a Pastor videos – you can see these on this playlist.

How can I hear from God? Children’s Talk – Hebrews 1:1-2

For our online service today, I recorded a short children’s spot. The passage is the first two verses of Hebrews chapter 1. I’m trying to find out how we can hear a message from God, to find out about him.

It’s a bit funny / silly, I hope you might enjoy it!
