Current Sermon Topic:

Hebrews

Written to primarily Jewish believers in Christ, the book is filled with two major emphasis: that of teaching and that of providing warnings for the pitfalls that can cause a believer to stumble. A complement to the Book of Romans, Hebrews starts explaining why Christ and the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant, to angels, Moses, and any other system, in that all others, at best, cover sin, but Christ delivers from sin. And who can forget the great faith chapter in Hebrews as the writer goes through the Faith Hall of Fame to not only provide us examples of faithful believers but also to encourage us to follow in their footsteps. A key concept is derived from a verse out of Habakkuk: “. . . the just shall live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). The writer shows how we are to walk by faith. Come and walk with us as we journey through the Book of Hebrews.

Church-Wide Sunday School Bible Study:

Parables

The two most controversial subjects within the Church has to be the reading and interpretation of prophecy and parables. So much has been written on these two subjects alone to fill columns of commentaries. We are currently exploring the parables of Jesus as they are found in the four Gospels. They can be subdivided into two groups: the Kingdom of Heaven parables and parable principles not specifically concerning the Kingdom of Heaven. Why did Jesus teach parables instead of just providing plain, easy to understand stories that taught divine truths? Come join us and let’s discover what they are, what they teach, the difference between an interpretation and an application, as well as find some clear warnings Jesus buried within His parables to the Church.

Wednesday Night Study:

Mark

The Gospel according to Mark is the shortest of the four biblical Gospels and moves with the fastest pace. Picking up a theme from Isaiah, the book consistently presents Jesus as the servant. Jesus described His ministry by saying, “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for man” (Mark 10:45, ESV). Yet this humble portrait of Jesus is set in contrast to His authority, especially His authority over the demons. This seeming contradiction brings out the third theme of this gospel: amazement. Jesus constantly astonishes people with His teaching and acts. Some respond with faith while others reject Him. The book leaves us with the same choice. How will we respond to the amazing news that the authoritative Servant has died and risen from the grave? This is the question we must wrestle with. And as we respond in faith, we’re called to take up our own cross and serve the ultimate Servant, the One who laid down His life for us.
