"From Shadow to Substance" | The Book of Hebrews

(Guest Speaker, Jeff Claney, Crossroads Campus) Hebrews 9:1-10 We see the structure and rituals of the earthly tabernacle, highlighting how access to God was limited and mediated through repeated sacrifices. These regulations served as a temporary system, pointing beyond themselves but unable to fully cleanse the conscience. Ultimately, they reveal the need for something greater – preparing the way for Jesus, who brings true and lasting access to God.

"A Better Covenant" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor J. Hartland, Crossroads Campus) Hebrews 8:1-13 Jesus is our perfect High Priest, seated at the right hand of God, mediating a far superior covenant than the old one. Unlike the former covenant, which exposed human weakness, the new covenant transforms hearts, writing God’s law within us and securing true forgiveness. Because of Jesus, we are invited into a deeper, lasting relationship with God that is built not on ritual, but on grace and renewal.

"Jesus the Superior Priest" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor C. Whitehead, Frye Farm Campus) Hebrews 7: 23-28 There is a profound difference between the many priests of the old system and Jesus, our eternal High Priest. Because Jesus lives forever, His priesthood never ends – meaning He is always able to save completely those who come to God through faith in Him. Holy, blameless, and exalted above the heavens, Jesus offered Himself once for all, becoming the perfect priest we need forever.

"Restoring Honor" | Rooted: A Series on Discipleship

(Pastor B. Phipps, Jeannette Campus) Various Passages This Father’s Day we want to restore honor to the calling of fatherhood by remembering that God designed dads to reflect His own heart toward His children. The Bible shows us that a father’s role is not defined by perfection, but by faithful presence – leading, loving, discipling, and protecting the next generation. Together we’ll rediscover how God can redeem our understanding of fatherhood and empower dads to shape families and faith for generations to come.

"Jesus the Priest-King" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor C. Whitehead, Frye Farm Campus) Hebrews 7:11-22 If the old priesthood under the law could truly bring people to perfection, there would have been no need for another priest to come. But God introduced a new and better priesthood in Jesus – one not based on ancestry or law, but on the power of an indestructible life. Because of this, Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant, giving us a stronger and more certain hope in our relationship with God.
