Series: Faith and Hope
Hebrews 12:1-3 and Jude 24
All of Hebrews 11 is pointing us to a challenge found in the beginning of Hebrews chapter 12. We can run the race God has marked out for us by looking to those who have gone before us, taking a look at ourselves and fixing our eyes on Jesus. How well are you running the race? What one thing might God be asking you to do, so you can run more completely for him?

Abel gave his best to God and we too can leave a legacy of faith by doing the same. Abel reveals that faith is an external step of obedience, based on our internal hope and relationship with God.Not captured in this recording is our introduction with the children's church group. We asked - if they found a large bouncy ball in the corn field north of church if they would think 1) someone put it there or 2) it grew there on its own. They all agreed that it would be obvious that someone made it and put it there. The same is true with our universe, it has a creator and we have been created by him for a purpose.
- Feb 5, 2017Faith and HopeFeb 5, 2017Faith and HopeSeries: Faith and HopeAs we launch into a new series looking at Faith and Hope from the 11th chapter of Hebrews, we used this introductory message to provide us with context. The Hebrews were tempted to turn away from their new found faith in Christ because of the persecution they were facing. The Author encourages them to press on and live by faith.In the middle of this weeks message we also utilized Hebrews 10:1-14 as a way to prepare our hearts for communion. A beautiful song, sung by Jane Eiker and Samantha Rose Brody, can be heard as our church family spends time examining our hearts before remembering Christ's sacrifice together.
