Jesus has promised to always be with us, and isn’t only present during our trials, but also embodies peace that transcends our circumstances. Just as we recognize that as the disciples faced a literal storm, we encounter figurative storms in our lives. As the ruler over the storms, He instills a peace that is rooted in His divine authority and we f…

Jesus, as the high priest and mediator of a new covenant, has secured the will of an eternal inheritance for believers through His death and resurrection. As inheritors of Jesus’ will, we have been given all because we have been given Him and His kingdom. We are already recipients of this inheritance, no matter our circumstances, and therefore, alw…

To be immersed in the way of Jesus is to be ‘all in’ on the teachings of Jesus. “It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us.” Christ declared it is impossible to serve both God and money. We then, as followers of Christ, have the opportunity to shove back the gates of hell not only by how we live, speak, and walk–but by how we spend. ‘…

The Bible is clear, eternity is much longer than we can imagine and much more real than the reality we currently experience. Because of this, The New Testament calls us to live our lives on earth in light of the eternal life and inheritance that awaits us. Every follower of Jesus must take the time to consider how they may steward their relationshi…

It is an assumption of Scripture that when we come to know Jesus, our entire life would be immersed in Him and His way. Why? ‘Because it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us, and the life we now live, we live by faith.’ Life then, is not a place we are in, it is not a place we are going. Life is found within the King and Creator of …

In our sin, we could never make ourselves righteous before God through the Levitical Priesthood or the law that governs it. We, therefore, need One who is superior and separate by being a better High Priest and the fulfillment of the law on our behalf. Jesus is the one to whom we can trust alone as our true High Priest and eternal righteousness thr…

God encourages us through the prophet Jeremiah to call out to God, for He “will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” May we be a people who seek to know, love, and share the Word of God–recognizing that these very words are the key to life, light, and freedom for the people of God.…

It’s easy to forget all that our good and generous God has given us. We can be tempted to believe we are owners rather than stewards. When we think we own our “stuff”, it can actually start to own us. Just as Abraham was moved to respond to Melchizedek’s greatness with generosity, how much more should we, as followers of Jesus, respond to His great…

As followers of Jesus, we are called to walk as Jesus walked. Through the Holy Spirit, we can bring freedom where there is bondage, justice where there is injustice, and mercy where there is suffering. These things will rarely be easy. But we have found that in light of eternity, not engaging in these things is always worse than choosing to step in…

Just as every high priest is appointed to offer sacrifices for atonement as well as sympathize with God’s people, Jesus has become our true and better High Priest in these ways. As our perfect High Priest, He provides eternal mediation and salvation for God’s people and sympathizes with their weakness having embraced weakness Himself during the day…

Jesus is the true and better high priest. He is able to sympathize with us in our weakness–as He too was tempted and endured much pain and heartache during his time on earth. Unlike us however, is the reality that Jesus endured these temptations and heartache, but did so without sin! Because of this, he is now the perfect representative for us befo…

Today we see deconstruction journeys, disillusionment with the church, and a desire to blend Jesus with other faith traditions into something more palatable. All of these do not lead us to life, but unknowingly toward death… this is the assertion of Hebrews in this powerful passage. Through it we do not only receive a dire warning but an important …
