Hebrews: Through the Lens of Modern Times

Pastor Will challenges us to examine the influences that can lead us away from our true path in Christ. He draws parallels between the ancient Hebrew struggles and our modern-day spiritual battles. Just as the writer of Hebrews compared Jesus to angels, Moses, and the Levitical priesthood, we're urged to consider how the supernatural realm, cultural pressures, and false religions compete for our attention today. The central theme revolves around Hebrews 8:1-2, reminding us that Jesus is our ultimate High Priest, seated at the right hand of God. This truth should compel us to resist the allure of astrology, cultural conformity, and religious pluralism. We're called to embrace the narrow path of following Christ, even when it's difficult. The message encourages us to be salt and light in the world, known by our love for one another, rather than being shaped by the world's values. As we navigate these challenges, we're reminded of the power of God's Word and the Holy Spirit to guide us in truth and transform our lives.
