by Eldr Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on August 20, 2023) We have been looking at the “better” sacrifice of Christ, and as we continue in our exposition of Hebrews we find that the sacrifice of Christ was necessary prerequisite for the regeneration of God’s people.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/2/2023) We began to see in the last podcast that the New Covenant of the age of grace is “better” than the Old Covenant of the Law. This doesn’t mean that the Law itself was somehow flawed; rather, WE were flawed! The problem was with us, not with…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/2/2023) We have been studying the many “better” thing about Christ’s work from the Book of Hebrews.
