[June 7, 2026] How Great Is Our God?

He won it. This war has been won. But what we have to understand this morning is the battle still goes on. There is still a battle until we die or Jesus comes again, you're in a battle. Every day, as Paul is saying here, we don't wrestle against each other. Now we're busy busy getting mad at people. And and I am not saying people aren't responsible, but what's going on behind is we don't wrestle with flesh and blood. There's powers and principalities into this into this world, into humanity. Here's my exhortation for all of us is don't mess around with darkness. [00:30:50] (47 seconds)  #BattleStillOn

When you go on a trip, a road trip, and you you see a mile marker or you see a sign that says you're still a 100 miles away from your destination, that's what's going on in the law and the prophets. Don't stop in the law. Don't stop in the prophets. Keep going because your destination is the fulfillment of Jesus of the law and the prophets. I can't stress that enough because that's what Hebrews is telling us is Jesus is the destination. We have arrived. The destination is here. [00:12:52] (35 seconds)  #JesusIsTheDestination

Jesus is a big deal. He is it. He is the center of the universe, of all things. And so there was a a bit of a correction that the writer of Hebrews is giving to these Christian Jewish Christians in the early church angels were created by Jesus to do God's work on behalf of humanity. So what we're gonna see throughout this is we're not to worship angels. We're not to pray to angels. [00:15:48] (40 seconds)  #AngelsServeJesus

The best part about news I can give you is Jesus is victorious over the darkness. He's a 100 victorious. Jesus came. He lived. He died a sacrificial death. He rose again, and he took back their authority. He took back their authority. When you see the word Satan in scripture, in both Hebrew and Greek, there's always the before it. So it's the Satan, the devil. [00:29:58] (30 seconds)  #JesusConquersDarkness

Faith is agreeing with Jesus over who he says he is, that he's the savior of the world and he's the the lord of all. But it's also agreeing with him and who he says you are. You are his special image bearer and that he loved you so much he was willing to go through what he went through so that we could have relationship with the father and the spirit and him. Trust him this morning. When we take the bread and when we take the cup, we're agreeing by faith of what Jesus did for us. [00:36:42] (42 seconds)  #AgreeWithJesus

The first century church was fixated on angels, fixated on even like angel worship. It's this old old heresy called Gnosticism. You may have heard of that word. Gnosticism was a mixture of Greek philosophy and Jewish mysticism, which basically denied the sufficiency of Jesus Christ. So it was Jesus plus in their understanding. And I think in the Western church again, we're a little ignorant when it comes to understanding God's heavenly family or when it comes to the word angels. [00:17:50] (45 seconds)  #JesusIsSufficient

We have a great God. We have a great God who is full of goodness and mercy and who is his very essence is love. So another challenge would be, don't listen to those false prophets that tell you you're worthless. You don't amount to much. Try to get you to question God and yourself, Tell the false prophets to just shut up. Listen to Jesus. Father said, listen to him. What does Jesus say to you and I about who he is and who we are? That's so important. [00:37:40] (47 seconds)  #ListenToJesus

These Hebrew Christians would have been well versed in the law and the prophets. They would have been well versed in the history of Israel, the law of Moses, in the the prophecies from Isaiah and Ezekiel and so forth. it's important the writer of Hebrews is stressing to these Christians who were turning away from the fulfillment in Jesus and turning back to the old way. He's stressing to them that Jesus is the fulfillment, that everything pointed to him. And so for you and I and to the Hebrew believers was we have to interpret everything we read in scripture through the lens of Jesus. [00:09:41] (46 seconds)  #ScripturePointsToJesus
