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. In Chapter 7, we saw that Christ’s high priesthood was a “better” high priesthood than the Levitical high priesthood. In Chapter 8, we see that the New Covenant of the age…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/26/2023) We continue today looking at how the high priesthood of Melchizedek was “better” than the Levitical priesthood. And of course, Christ’s High Priesthood was foreshadowed by Melchizedek! Join us as we conclude our look at this chapter, which teaches us that Christ’s High Priesthood was so much…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/26/2023) In Hebrews 7, we begin to get into the “deep waters” of this letter! We read of Melchizedek, who was a type of Christ, and find that the high priesthood of Melchizedek – like that of Christ – was a “better” high priesthood than the Levitical high…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/23) In the last post, we began looking at the anchor of hope that we have in Christ. This anchor is both sure and steadfast because it is grounded upon the Solid Rock of the finished work of Jesus Christ! Join us today as we conclude this message…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/2023) Hebrews 6 begins with a stern warning about falling away, which we have already dealt with in this series on Hebrews. But the chapter ends with the sweetest confirmation of the eternal security of the child of God! Join us as we look at the anchor of…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) As we began to see in the first half of this message, people sometimes misinterpret the passage in Heb. 6:4-6 as teaching that a child of God can “fall from grace,” i.e., lose their eternal salvation. A plain reading of the text does NOT teach this, and…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the first few verses of Hebrews 6, there is a passage that has caused many children of God to fall victim to the heresy that a child of God can lose his eternal salvation. Hebrews 6:4-6 indicates that a child of God can get to point…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the last post, we began to look at the topic of spiritual immaturity. The writer of Hebrews wanted to discuss some “deep” things about Christ, but felt like he was hindered in doing so by the fact that these Hebrew listeners were still too spiritually immature!…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) Just when the writer of Hebrews is about to start a discourse on the Melchizedekan High-Priesthood of Christ, he interrupts his train of thought to bring up an important subject: these Hebrew listeners were too spiritually immature for him to go very deep into the mysteries of…
