It Is Finished | Better | Ryan Lutz

What did Jesus really mean when He said, "It is finished"? In Week 6 of our Better series through the book of Hebrews, we discover that those three words changed everything. Hebrews 9–10 reminds us that Jesus didn't simply make forgiveness possible—He accomplished everything necessary to bring us back into a relationship with God. Because of His sacrifice: * Jesus Paid It. Our debt of sin has been paid in full. * Jesus Finished It. There is nothing we can add to the work of the cross. * Jesus Opened It. We now have confident access to the presence of God. If you've ever struggled with guilt, shame, or the feeling that you have to earn God's love, this message is for you. The good news of the gospel is that we don't have to keep striving for what Jesus has already accomplished. When He said, "It is finished," He meant it.

The Better Covenant | Better | Derek Fey

What makes the new covenant through Jesus so much better? In Week 5 of our Better series through Hebrews, Derek Fey walks through Hebrews 8 and shows us that Jesus didn't simply improve the old covenant - He fulfilled it and established something entirely new. The old covenant revealed God's holiness and called His people to obedience, but it also exposed humanity's inability to keep God's law perfectly. Through Jesus, God made a better promise: one built on grace, forgiveness, and a restored relationship with Him. Because of Jesus: • Our sins are forgiven. • We are made righteous through His sacrifice. • God's law is written on our hearts. • We can live in a personal relationship with Him. The better covenant isn't about trying harder to earn God's favor - it's about trusting the One who has already done what we never could. Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, we pray this message encourages you to rest in the better promise found in Christ.

Better Priesthood | Better | Ryan Lutz

This week in our Better series through Hebrews, Pastor Ryan planned to unpack Jesus as our Better High Priest in Hebrews 5–7. But as he studied and prayed, he couldn't get past Hebrews 5:11–14—and that's where we stayed. The writer of Hebrews challenges us not to settle for spiritual complacency but to grow into maturity. Together, we took an honest look at our hearts, confessed the sin that keeps us from experiencing the fullness of life in Christ, and turned back to Jesus in repentance. Confession isn't about shame—it's about freedom. Repentance isn't about earning God's love—it's about returning to the One who already loves us. If you've felt spiritually stuck, distant from God, or weighed down by sin, this message is an invitation to stop hiding, bring everything into the light, and take your next step toward Jesus.

Legacy of Faith | Better | Ryan Lutz

What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? When most people think about legacy, they think about accomplishments, wealth, influence, or the impact they'll make on the world. But what if the greatest legacy isn't found in what you build, how much you make, or who knows your name? In Week 3 of our Better series, we dive into Hebrews 4 and discover that the greatest legacy you leave is where you place your faith. Through the story of Israel and the promises of God, we'll see how faith shapes our direction, changes how we live, and gives us confidence to approach God through Jesus. Whether you're a father, parent, leader, mentor, or simply someone wanting to live a life that matters, this message will challenge and encourage you to build a legacy that lasts. 📖 Scripture: Hebrews 4 If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today. #LegacyOfFaith #Hebrews4 #Faith #ChristianSermon #JesusIsBetter #ChurchOnline #BibleTeaching #FaithInGod #ChristianLiving
