All We Need

Hebrews 7:20–28

13 September 2026

Hebrews 7:20-28 gives four reasons Jesus is all we need to draw near to God: His priesthood is established by God's oath, it will never end, He always lives to intercede for us, and He offered Himself once for all. A better job, better health, and faithful friends are good gifts—but only Christ can meet our deepest need.

The Better Hope

Hebrews 7:11-19

6 September 2026

Hebrews 7:11-19 shows why the Levitical priesthood could never bring sinners fully to God — and why Christ, our everlasting priest with an indestructible life, gives weary sinners a better hope. We cannot work our way to God, but Jesus can bring us all the way to Him.

The Oath of Grace

Hebrews 6:13-20

23 August 2026

God’s promises do not depend on the strength of our faith, the ease of our circumstances, or our ability to hold everything together. In Hebrews 6:13–20, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows how God confirms His unchanging promise with an oath so that His people can have strong assurance. When waiting is long and faith feels weak, we can hold fast to this truth: Jesus Christ is our eternal High Priest, and our hope is securely anchored in Him.

The Grace of Assurance

Hebrews 6:9–12

16 August 2026

Our good works don't start the fire of salvation, but they reveal it's burning. In Hebrews 6:9–12, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows how Christ alone is the ground of our assurance, and how love, diligence, faith, and patience become the visible evidence that His grace is truly at work in us. This message offers steady, gospel-centered encouragement for anyone longing to know their salvation is secure.

The Gift of Grace

Hebrews 6:1-8

9 August 2026

Spiritual experience is not the same as spiritual life. In Hebrews 6:1–8, we are called to press forward in maturity, warned against the danger of falling away, and reminded that grace — not our effort alone — produces the fruit that accompanies salvation. The Christian life begins by grace, continues by grace, and bears fruit by grace.

Heavenly Minded and Earthly Good

Philippians 3:17-21

2 August 2026

Your life is an example — a portrait that others watch and imitate, whether you realize it or not. In Philippians 3:17–21, Paul calls the church to keep good company, know their true identity, and remember what's promised. This sermon points believers to Jesus as the ultimate example and calls us to live heavenly-minded while doing earthly good.

God’s Grace is Enough

Mark 12:41-44

26 July 2026

There is nothing more powerful than an idea. And God has implanted one into the heart of every believer — his grace is enough. Mark 12:41–44 shows us a poor widow whose giving defies every logical explanation. She wasn't giving out of duty. She was giving out of joy. Giving reveals a heart that trusts in God alone.

Growing in Grace

Hebrews 5:11-14

19 July 2026

Bad health doesn't happen overnight — it's the result of poor habits and daily neglect. The author of Hebrews says the same thing can happen to our souls. Hebrews 5:11–14 exposes how hearts grow dull, why immaturity keeps us looking inward instead of upward, and where true spiritual growth is actually found — not in trying harder, but in continually feeding on Christ.

Perfectly Qualified

Hebrews 5:5-10

12 July 2026

When everything is on the line, you want the most qualified surgeon. How much more so when standing before a holy God. Hebrews 5:5–10 answers three questions every weary sinner asks: Can I trust the one who represents me? Does he understand what I'm going through? Has he done enough to save me? The answer to all three is Jesus — perfectly qualified, perfectly appointed, perfectly sufficient.

The Perfect Representative

Hebrews 5:1-4

5 July 2026

When everything is on the line, who represents you is what matters. Hebrews 5:1–4 builds our confidence in Christ one stone at a time — he became one of us, he deals gently with weak and wandering sinners, he is perfectly sinless, and he was appointed by the Father himself. Every qualification has been met. Every objection has been answered. So why are you still looking at yourself?
