Vacation Bible School begins this week, and our theme is “God’s Truth Never Changes.” This week we look at five examples of God’s truth that the world tries to change, and we see what Romans 12:2 tells us about not being conformed to the world, but instead being transformed by God’s unchanging truth!

"To be and make committed followers of Jesus Christ" is the mission statement of Crossing. This week Pastor Tim preaches on how our church embraces our mission and encourages us to live them out in our daily lives.

Hebrews 2:1-3 warns believers there are consequences to drifting away from salvation but that shouldn't cause us to fear; rather we should approach God's throne with confidence and fix our eyes on Jesus, our helper.

Hebrews 10:1-18, Jesus: A Greater Sacrifice

The Levitical sacrifices were insufficient to provide for our deepest needs, but God had a plan -- a greater sacrifice that takes away our sin and makes us righteous. Now we can draw near to God with full assurance of faith!

The Old Covenant was incomplete and only a "shadow" of the covenant to come. It required the daily ongoing sacrifice of animals that covered sin but didn't make remission for sin. With Jesus, the New Covenant was ushered in and His final sacrifice set the New Covenant apart when He sat down at the right hand of the Father.

While Melchizedek was truly unique among the ancient fathers of faith, he still falls short of Jesus, who in his role as High Priest and King, He does more and provides more than all others before him. He rules and is sovereign. He intercedes on our behalf. He defends us and is preparing a place for us.

Jesus, our greater High Priest. Jesus not only meets but exceeds the qualifications of the Levitical priests; he represents us as our great high priest, enabling us now to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence!

In the sermon titled "Moses was great... Jesus is greater!" from Hebrews 3:1-6, we explore how Jesus surpasses Moses in greatness through three main points: Jesus' dual roles as both Apostle and High Priest, His greater glory compared to Moses, and His position as a Son over God's house, contrasted with Moses as a servant in God's house. This comparison emphasizes Jesus' superior position and encourages believers to hold fast to their faith and confidence in Him.
