Sermons from November 2013
Once For All
Hebrews 10:1-10 ~ The sacrifices made for the old covenant were sufficient to atone for sins, but they had to be repeated because it was impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Christ, according to God’s will, was able to eternally sanctify people through His sacrifice once for all.
A Mediator Through Death
Hebrews 9:15-22 ~ The writer of Hebrews reminds us that a covenant requires the shedding of blood, just as the Mosaic covenant also began with blood. Pastor Rod Bunton explains that Christ became the mediator of the new covenant at the time of His death.
Through the Blood of Christ
Hebrews 9:11-14 ~ In the first part of this chapter, the writer of Hebrews looked at the tabernacle — that place where God dwelled and atonement for sin was made. Now, Senior Pastor Rod Bunton continues with this passage and shows that the new atonement — through the blood of Christ — doesn’t just cover our sins, but cleanses us of them, purifying our consciences.
The Earthly Holy Place
Hebrews 9:1-14 ~ Pastor Rod Bunton moves into chapter 9 and reviews the tabernacle from the days before Christ; the man-made dwelling place for God that was attended by imperfect priests.
