Heb. 13:1-19 "What is Acceptable Worship?"

Heb. 13:1-19 "What is Acceptable Worship?"

Speaker: Mike Davis

The author of Hebrews has been making an argument that Jesus is better than the Old Covenant.  The Law, the prophets, the old covenant, all of this was pointing to how God would fulfill His promises in Jesus Christ.  By Faith, we are inheritors of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.  Given all of this, Chapter 12 concludes with a call for “acceptable worship”.

Mar 10, 202440:45
Heb. 12:18-29 "The Unshakeable Kingdom of Christ"

Heb. 12:18-29 "The Unshakeable Kingdom of Christ"

Speaker: Connor Shady

Let us find hope not in the things of this world, but in our unshakeable hope from above.

Mar 03, 202440:20
Heb. 12:1-17 "Looking to Jesus"

Heb. 12:1-17 "Looking to Jesus"

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

For believers in Jesus, persecution is inevitable. Rather than see it as judgment by God, His people need to receive it as an expression of love from God. It is easy to lose one’s grip in the face of hardship, but rather than letting go, one needs to buckle up and hold fast to Jesus who is the founder and perfecter of their faith.

Feb 27, 202442:34
Heb. 11:1-40 “The Endurance of Faith”

Heb. 11:1-40 “The Endurance of Faith”

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

A faith-fueled endurance is the consequence of seeing Jesus and continuing to believe the God who promises will faithfully fulfill his word.

Heb. 10:19-39 “We have a Great High Priest”

Heb. 10:19-39 “We have a Great High Priest”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

If Jesus is our Great High Priest, then everything will be okay.

Feb 12, 202441:50
Heb. 10:1-18 “The End of All Offerings”

Heb. 10:1-18 “The End of All Offerings”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The role of the Old Covenant ends where the New Covenant begins. God is not asking you for any kind of sacrifice to appease His wrath or earn His pleasure. The only sacrifice that answers all of our questions is that of His only begotten Son. Thus, you can stop trying to satisfy His justice and gain His approval. That, thankfully, is finished.

Feb 06, 202442:49
Heb. 9:11-28 “Death and New Life Through the Cross of Christ”

Heb. 9:11-28 “Death and New Life Through the Cross of Christ”

Speaker: Aaron Cutshall

Christ’s better sacrifice is the death of the Old Covenant and the inauguration of the New Covenant.

Heb. 9:1-14 “From What Once Was [Shadow] to What Now Is [Substance]”

Heb. 9:1-14 “From What Once Was [Shadow] to What Now Is [Substance]”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

What the old could not do in perfecting the conscience of the worshiper, the new in Christ does.

Lev. 16 “Beyond the Veil”

Lev. 16 “Beyond the Veil”

Speaker: Connor Shady

Cherishing Christ’s Work on Our Behalf: From Temporary to Finished

Jan 11, 202438:31
Matt. 6:5-15 “And When You Pray”

Matt. 6:5-15 “And When You Pray”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Praying to God is part of our fellowship with God. Prayer void of right content is empty, impotent, and vain. Thus, the act of praying is of no benefit, for even the unbeliever ‘prays.’ But prayer guided by right content deepens one’s fellowship with God. Today’s study focuses on the confessional nature of the Lord’s Prayer and how it can deepen our fellowship with God even as we increase in our knowledge of Him.

Jan 02, 202442:08
Phil. 2:1-11 “When God Became Man”

Phil. 2:1-11 “When God Became Man”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

When Jesus took on human nature, He fulfilled God’s design for the saving of His people.

Dec 28, 202328:56
Matt. 1:1-17 “The Book of the Genealogy of Jesus Christ”

Matt. 1:1-17 “The Book of the Genealogy of Jesus Christ”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Matthew’s genealogy proves Jesus is the MESSIAH. Jesus is the fulfillment of the SEED PROMISE. When we read this genealogy, we can only respond with, “BUT GOD!” Friends, as we consider this strange and marvelous journey of preparation, let us worship deeply our immutable and incomprehensible God.

Dec 18, 202333:40
Heb. 8:1-13 “Now the Point is This”

Heb. 8:1-13 “Now the Point is This”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Everything points to Jesus Christ as the fullest and final great high priest who, on the basis of a New Covenant, mediates before the Father in behalf of His people.

 

Dec 14, 202337:39
Jeremiah 31:27-40 “I Will Forgive Their Iniquity and Remember It No More”

Jeremiah 31:27-40 “I Will Forgive Their Iniquity and Remember It No More”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

In the promise of a New Covenant, Israel is offered redemption and hope even as they enter into captivity and displacement.

Dec 11, 202345:47
Heb. 6:13-7:28 “Jesus is Better”

Heb. 6:13-7:28 “Jesus is Better”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Because Jesus has been appointed a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, He can offer a better means, hope, promise, intercession, and sacrifice than that offered by the line of Levi.

Nov 28, 202347:21
Psalm 110 “The Eternal Priest-King’s Triumph”

Psalm 110 “The Eternal Priest-King’s Triumph”

Jesus has been foreseen as the Priest-King who brings in God’s judgment against the unbelieving and victory for the believing.

Nov 21, 202331:26
Heb. 5:11-6:12 “Apostasy vs the Full Assurance of Hope”

Heb. 5:11-6:12 “Apostasy vs the Full Assurance of Hope”

Speaker: Elder Mike Davis

The author of Hebrews has been addressing a Hebrew audience with an appeal for Jesus.  This parenthetical section reveals that some within the fellowship may have initially professed faith in Christ but are now abandoning Jesus to return to Judaism.  The author’s stern warning against turning from Christ raises a long debated theological question. Can a Christian lose their salvation?

Nov 13, 202351:23
Heb. 4:14-5:10 “Jesus, Our Great High Priest”

Heb. 4:14-5:10 “Jesus, Our Great High Priest”

Speaker: Patrick J. Griffiths

Because Jesus is our Great High Priest, we can draw near and we are acceptable before Him for our good.

Nov 06, 202335:20
Heb. 4:1-13 “Four Letter Words and Other Expletives”

Heb. 4:1-13 “Four Letter Words and Other Expletives”

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

Enter the promised rest by believing Jesus. We don’t value rest. We don’t know how to rest. We don’t believe God regarding rest. Rest finds a home with the other four-letter words we look down on. The promise of rest is still on the table. Rest is available. The exhortation in this text comes as a sobering warning not to forfeit this rest or fail to reach it.

Oct 30, 202301:04:57
Heb. 3:7-19; Ps. 95; Exod. 17:1-17 "I'd Like a Second Opinion"

Heb. 3:7-19; Ps. 95; Exod. 17:1-17 "I'd Like a Second Opinion"

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

Today, if you have ears to hear and eyes to see, take care how you respond to God. The author of Hebrews writes this lengthy exhortation to his audience to listen and believe. He is calling his audience to listen intently to the voice of God who speaks directly through his Son (Heb. 1). He’s encouraging his audience to see Jesus and consider who Jesus is and what he’s accomplished on our behalf (Heb. 2-3).

Oct 22, 202352:40
Heb. 3:7-19; Ps. 95; Exod. 17:1-17 “A Cautionary Tale of Rejecting Rest”

Heb. 3:7-19; Ps. 95; Exod. 17:1-17 “A Cautionary Tale of Rejecting Rest”

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

Considering Jesus as God’s message of rest calls for a better response than rejecting it through unbelief.

Oct 15, 202352:54
Hebrews 3:1-6 “Consider Jesus”

Hebrews 3:1-6 “Consider Jesus”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Jesus, like Moses, is faithful over His responsibilities, but unlike Moses, is a son and not a servant. The builder and not the building. Jesus is better than the Old Testament best.

Oct 12, 202332:32
Hebrews 2:5-18 “Jesus: The Founder of Our Salvation”

Hebrews 2:5-18 “Jesus: The Founder of Our Salvation”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Jesus, in His identification with us, answers for us our sin issue. The previous section, Heb. 1:1-2:4, forms a single unit showing Jesus as the superior revelation of God and concludes with a warning not to drift from believing in Him.  Because He is the exact representation of God, He is God.  This following section now explains His humanity, the reason for it, and the result of it.

Oct 02, 202341:14
Hebrews 1:5-2:4 “Jesus, God’s Firstborn Son”

Hebrews 1:5-2:4 “Jesus, God’s Firstborn Son”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Jesus Christ, as Son, is set above angels in importance. If rejecting the revelation received from angels brought condemnation, how much more will the condemnation be if we reject Jesus?

Oct 01, 202337:08
Hebrews 1:1-4 “Jesus: God’s Final Answer”

Hebrews 1:1-4 “Jesus: God’s Final Answer”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

In Jesus Christ we have the fullest and final word from God and it is to Him we must look and listen.  Jesus is better than the Old Testament best. It isn’t that the old is bad, only that Jesus is better!

Sep 22, 202336:50
Hebrews Introduction “Jesus Christ is Better Than the Old Testament Best”

Hebrews Introduction “Jesus Christ is Better Than the Old Testament Best”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Everything in the Old Testament pointed to and prepared us for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Book of Hebrews is clear, there is no one beside Him and there is nothing beyond Him. If one rejects Jesus, there is no escaping the damnation from God. Everything in Hebrews points to Jesus as the Great High Priest (8:1) and not to accept Jesus is to reject Him and to reject Him, is to reject all hope of entering into the rest promised to His people. There is no middle ground. It is actually that simple.

Sep 11, 202330:41
Revelation 4-5 “Behold, a Throne”

Revelation 4-5 “Behold, a Throne”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

Revelation assures the church in tribulation that God is in control by giving her a vision of the throne.  As we read chapters 4 and 5, we must read them as a singular vision.

Aug 24, 202342:50
1 Cor. 12 “The Anatomy of a Healthy Church”

1 Cor. 12 “The Anatomy of a Healthy Church”

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

The Spirit has equipped and empowers each one of you for the benefit of this body.

Aug 13, 202353:04
Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd”

Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

Because Jesus is our Shepherd there is no want thus there is no fear in our uncertainties whether immediate or long-term.

Aug 07, 202333:10
Ruth 4:1-22 “The Triumph of the Woman’s Seed”

Ruth 4:1-22 “The Triumph of the Woman’s Seed”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

As shadow, the redemption secured by Boaz of his bride images/pictures God’s redemption of His people from their debt and death.

Jul 25, 202338:60
Exodus 20:1-21 “The Ten Words”

Exodus 20:1-21 “The Ten Words”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The people of God have been and shall forever be marked by the ten words. The Ten Commandments are a part of the Law of Moses which is a vassal treaty, a conditional agreement. “You do your part and God shall do His.” The Ten Words reflect God’s character. The Law does not begin morality. In the Law of Moses, it only legislates morality to a nation. I am fully aware that an entire lesson could be taught on each of the ten words. This study desires to put the ten words in their proper historical and Christological context and implication.  The Ten Commandments expand on the two commandments which are really one commandment, “Believe in Jesus.”

Jul 20, 202338:04
Genesis 1 “God’s Good World”

Genesis 1 “God’s Good World”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

God CREATES a place where He will MEET with his People for their JOY.  His People rejected Him. Nonetheless, God binds Himself through PROMISE (i.e. The Royal Gift Covenant) to RESCUE His people from their sin and RESTORE them to Himself for their JOY.  God created all things and the pinnacle of this creative activity is humanity. The readers of Genesis 1 and 2 would know that what exists came from God’s good design. The world in which we exist is INCREDIBLE, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and GOOD. The reason as to why this world and all of creation is so incredible, wonderful, and beautiful is because God is INCREDIBLE, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and GOOD.

Jul 13, 202338:17
Isaiah 66:1-24 “The Word of God is Uncompromising”

Isaiah 66:1-24 “The Word of God is Uncompromising”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The Lord’s final judgment against the unrighteous will be with fire.  The righteous, however, will be gathered from all the nations to eternally worship the Lord in a new heaven and new earth.  The final sentence is a sober reminder to Isaiah’s audience – if the beauty of ‘the Servant/the Anointed One’ does not attract you to believe, the fear of judgment should.

Jul 03, 202341:53
Isaiah 63:1-6 “The Day of Vengeance”

Isaiah 63:1-6 “The Day of Vengeance”

Speaker: Elder Mike Davis

Throughout scripture there is reference to a Day when God will pour out his wrath upon the wicked.  It is God alone who carries out this wrath and God alone who brings salvation. 

Jun 25, 202345:52
Isaiah 62:1-12 “The Servant’s Vow”

Isaiah 62:1-12 “The Servant’s Vow”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

The servant king shall not rest until all that He promises comes to pass. The prophet, as a watchman, prays without ceasing until the fulfillment of all God’s promises. As New Testament believers, we are to pray without ceasing until the fulfillment of all God’s promises.

Jun 19, 202340:19
Isaiah 61:1-11 “To Proclaim Liberty”

Isaiah 61:1-11 “To Proclaim Liberty”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

Only God can bring good news to the afflicted, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. Only God can comfort all who mourn, give to the mourning a garland instead of ashes, and the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. Will you give Him what you are and receive from Him what He is?

Jun 13, 202339:39
Isaiah 59:14-60:22 “At the Right Time, It Will Swiftly Come to Pass”

Isaiah 59:14-60:22 “At the Right Time, It Will Swiftly Come to Pass”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The promises in the gospel enable us to hope even while we experience loss, absence, and suffering. As our world becomes increasingly adjusted to and accepting of special effects whereby a false reality is believed, the biblical narrative continues to paint fantastical pictures of a reality almost beyond one’s capacity to believe. And yet, our current conditioning can almost make what we are about to read either believable or purely man-made myth. And at the end of the day, you and I will have to decide what we are going to believe.

Jun 11, 202344:41
Isaiah 54-55 “Enlarge the Place of Your Tent”

Isaiah 54-55 “Enlarge the Place of Your Tent”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

As a consequence of the servant king’s penal substitutionary sacrifice in behalf of His people (Isa. 53), all of the LORD’S promises shall be fulfilled (Isa. 54) and a gracious invitation is extended to the thirsty and wicked to come and seek Him (Isa. 55).

May 29, 202340:04
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 “The LORD Has Laid on Him the Iniquity of Us All”

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 “The LORD Has Laid on Him the Iniquity of Us All”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The servant described in Isaiah 42, 49, 50, is fully revealed in the fourth and final Servant Song found in Isaiah 53. The LORD has laid on this servant the sins of His people and of the Nations. And it was the LORD’S will to crush His chosen one, the servant. This servant takes our place to satisfy the justice of God whereby stopping the wrath of God.

May 22, 202342:17
Isaiah 50:4-11 “The Servant’s Resolve”

Isaiah 50:4-11 “The Servant’s Resolve”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

This is the third servant song which also builds on the previous two songs. Who the servant is makes what he does decisive. One will either accept his message from God or shall reject his message. Either way, that decision determines destiny.

May 16, 202334:50
Isaiah 49:1-50:3 “The Servant Speaks”

Isaiah 49:1-50:3 “The Servant Speaks”

Speakers: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

This second of four servant songs builds on the first. In the first servant song (42:1-4), the servant is being referenced. In the second servant song (49:1-7), the servant speaks. Through the work of the Servant, kings shall lick dust from His feet (49:23). 

May 09, 202333:49
Isaiah 42:1-9 “The Chosen One”

Isaiah 42:1-9 “The Chosen One”

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner

The surrounding nations appear to prosper as they follow their deities. Israel has suffered much at the hands of these pagan nations, while YHWH seems distant at best, and impotent or uncaring at worst. Pagans exalt themselves over Israel – thriving financially, militarily, and spiritually. The justice of God is established by his servant for the nations.

Apr 30, 202350:00
Isaiah 44:24-48:22 “But the Word of Our God Will Stand Forever”

Isaiah 44:24-48:22 “But the Word of Our God Will Stand Forever”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths

The Word of the LORD is authoritative and certain. Thus, all Biblical Prophecy and Divine Promises shall come to pass.

Apr 24, 202339:09
Isaiah 40 “Behold Your God”

Isaiah 40 “Behold Your God”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

To know the character of God is to experience the comfort of God. All that God has said concerning Himself is true and we can rest knowing all of His promises shall come to pass.

Apr 18, 202341:57
Matthew 28:1-10 “He is not here, for He is Risen!” – Easter Sunday

Matthew 28:1-10 “He is not here, for He is Risen!” – Easter Sunday

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

The Life, Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus cancels sin and restores fellowship before the Father. We appropriate this immeasurable gift by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Apr 13, 202321:07
Matt. 27:45-56 ‘The Day the Earth Shook” – Good Friday

Matt. 27:45-56 ‘The Day the Earth Shook” – Good Friday

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

The Gospel isn’t about God being FAIR; The Gospel is about God being GENEROUS.

Misc. Ref. “The Christian and the Bema Seat”

Misc. Ref. “The Christian and the Bema Seat”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

The coming of Christ is a day of great celebration and joy.  In the day of His Coming, the old nature will forever be removed from His people. In that day, every believer will receive a reward for service. In that day, every believer will fully and finally see all that God chose to do in them and through them to those around them. In that day, the victory of God will be finalized and forever established.

Apr 03, 202339:47
Misc. Ref. “The Christian and Obedience”

Misc. Ref. “The Christian and Obedience”

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J. Griffiths

Faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone. The Jesus Seed is so efficacious, it always produces Gospel Fruit. Therefore, we maintain and teach that all who believe have fruit.
