Spiritual Beings We have been taking a few weeks to study spiritual beings in the bible. We started out by looking at the word “Elohim.” It is the word often used as a name for God, however the translated meaning of the word is “spiritual being.” That means that the word “Elohim” is more of a category…

Good or Best We are going to start into the book of Hebrews for a few weeks before the Thanksgiving/Advent seasons start. The book of Hebrews presents the supremacy of Christ.

Did you know that at least a few songs, or hymns, that are considered to be Christmas songs, really not particularly Christmas songs? I want to mention two of them this morning. One is the song we sang first this morning. “Joy to the World” was not written as a Christmas Song. It was written by Isaac…

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 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. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,…

Nevertheless, these are jobs that we desperately need as a society, And thankfully there are brave men and women who are willing to face these challenge head on. But, they face…

The motivation For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. We have started a journey to…

You won’t become an angel! One of the fun ideas in light hearted comedies is people dead people, not becoming ghosts but becoming angels. In a comedy movie, I can enjoy the hilarious happenings when someone comes back as an angel to try and help us. But the Bible never talks about us becoming angels.…

Hebrews 1:4-14 Good morning church! We are picking up where we left off a couple of weeks ago in Hebrews chapter 1. We only made it as far as the first three verses. 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us…

Lower Than the Elohim Last week we ended with a life-changing thought: we are the children of God, destined to displace the defeated, disloyal sons of God who now rule the nations. Believing followers of Jesus Christ are the fulfillment of God’s plan to have humanity join the divine family-council and…

It’s no surprise to find God “in the beginning,” as we do in the first chapter of Genesis. After all, he’s uncreated, infinite, and eternal. He always has been, and he always will be. He is without beginning and without end. If it were any other way, he wouldn’t be God. Everything else, everything that…

This is our 3rd week in the teaching portion of our EMPTY acronym, our flyover of the New Testament. It’s a 40,000 foot flyover, but its giving us a sense of the overarching message of redemption and seeing the connections of the New Testament back to the Old, and the flow of the story from Genesis on.…

Ephesians 4:14–16 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head,…

Let’s Talk About the Church Again. After all, it is a church made up of us, and a church made up as “them”, a church that contains the whole measure of the redeemed of Christ Jesus. We recognize that the church is not a building, not a denomination, not a single culture, nor language nor race nor creed.…

The Bible Last week we talked about the Bible as God’s Word and as such it bears ultimate authority over all that we believe and all that we do. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. By it, God reveals who He is, who we are, and what life is meant to be. His word…

Intro: One of the things we need to understand about the past generation of Jewish people during the time of Christ and even after his life was that Angels were a big deal. Angels assisted in giving the law to Moses and there where angels who would speak to Godly saints. So, I want us to keep all of…

Before we just jump into our text today I need to set up some things to help us understand a little bit about this letter to the Hebrews. The reason why I need to explain a few things is because Hebrews poses some very interesting challenges, especially when it comes to it’s author and it’s audience.…

Are You Really Doing What Jesus did? I had a friend recently tell me I was making an idle out of Jesus. I thought that was the best complement I could get. He then said you are not Jesus and you will not ever be Jesus. You are Jonathan. I took this to Father and asked Him about it and He gave me a mind…
