The Spirit of Jesus

Series Title: The Superiority of Jesus Series Summary: The book of Hebrews begins with the audacious claim: Jesus is God’s last word. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the one who brings together all of the voices of the Old Testament. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the divine Son - God himself speaking to us. With this claim comes a question: Are we listening? Passages: Hebrews 2:1-4 Speaker: Omar Ortiz On this Pentecost Sunday, we will look at both Acts 2 and the book of Hebrews to see how the Spirit of Christ speaks to us and fills us with his power and presence. Power and presence that allow us to live as a royal priesthood.

Fully Human in Every Way

Series Title: The Superiority of Jesus Series Summary: The book of Hebrews begins with the audacious claim: Jesus is God’s last word. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the one who brings together all of the voices of the Old Testament. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the divine Son - God himself speaking to us. With this claim comes a question: Are we listening? Passages: Hebrews 2:10-18 Speaker: Omar Ortiz Jesus is fully God. Jesus became fully human. The pastor who wrote Hebrews underlines this again so that we can understand the help Jesus offers us in the gospel: freedom from the fear of death and freedom from the penalty of sin.

Crowned With Glory and Honor

Series Title: The Superiority of Jesus Series Summary: The book of Hebrews begins with the audacious claim: Jesus is God’s last word. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the one who brings together all of the voices of the Old Testament. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the divine Son - God himself speaking to us. With this claim comes a question: Are we listening? Passages: Hebrews 2:5-9 Speaker: Omar Ortiz In this week’s message, we continue to see the supremacy of Jesus over the angels. Jesus is crowned with glory and honor because he humbled himself and became lower than the angels by taking on human flesh.

Superior to the Angels

Series Title: The Superiority of Jesus Series Summary: The book of Hebrews begins with the audacious claim: Jesus is God’s last word. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the one who brings together all of the voices of the Old Testament. Jesus is God’s last word because he is the divine Son - God himself speaking to us. With this claim comes a question: Are we listening? Passages: Hebrews 1:5-2:4 Speaker: Omar Ortiz In this week’s sermon, we begin exploring the first of four comparisons that the pastor makes in his sermon. Jesus is superior to the angels. Jewish tradition taught that angels delivered the word of God to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Since Jesus is superior to the angels, this means that the message he brings is superior to the message they brought. If Israel was warned not to ignore the words given to Moses, how much more should we pay careful attention to the word given to us by Jesus?

A Glorious Vocation

Contrasting and comparing our current world to the Narnia world, Geoff shares the similarities and explains that as sons (and daughters) of God, we have a vocation given us by God himself. After hearing a different yet insightful perspective of the passage, we can better understand what our vocation is and reveal in the glory that was given to Jesus, and now to us. Passage: Roman 8:15-21 Guest Speaker: Geoff Hsu
