April 14, 2019 The word altar first appears in the Bible in Genesis 8, when Noah first came off the ark. He built an altar and offered sacrifices of every clean animal and every clean bird. That’s a lot of sacrifices. Of course, this idea of sacrificing to God goes all the way back to […]
The Wisdom and Power of God
April 7, 2019 Message by Michael Talley, Discipleship Pastor Last week our text in the book of Hebrews ended with a strong command. After reminding the church that Jesus had suffered outside the city in order to sanctify them through his blood, he encouraged the members of the church to go outside the camp and […]
HEBREWS 13:7-14
March 31, 2019 So Christianity has been around for a couple thousand years now. But of course, it has its roots in the Jewish religion – Judaism – which goes back a couple thousand years before that. So, thousands of years of a religion – I would gently say the religion – of God revealing […]
HEBREWS 13:1-6
March 24, 2019 I don’t want to stereotype, or for sure sound sexist – but I’m a man, so I don’t do stores – well, except Lowes. After many years of marriage, my wife Tana and I have things pretty well figured out. For example, if we go to Winston, and she wants to wander […]
HEBREWS 12:25-29
March 17, 2019 Does anyone know the number one movie, worldwide, of 2019? It may come as a shock to learn it is not from the Marvel or DC Comics universes. I’d never even heard of it. It’s true, the movie has only grossed about $6 million in the US – which by any standard […]
HEBREWS 12:18-24
March 10, 2019 Life is full of choices. This morning, you decided whether to get up early or sleep in – after losing an hour of sleep. Whether to eat breakfast or not. What to eat for breakfast. Caffeinated or decaf. Whether to go to church or not. The 8:15, 9:45 or 11:15 service. Whether […]
HEBREWS 12:12-17
March 3, 2019 Many of us can remember leaving home for the first time. It may have only been a weekend for youth retreat, or maybe more permanently to go off to college or some new job in a new place. We can remember the instructions given by our parents – usually mom – that went something […]
HEBREWS 12:4-11
February 24, 2019 So apparently someone hacked the Hub this week and sent you all emails, purportedly from me, asking for money – Google Play cards – whatever those are. Listen, if you ever get an email from me and I’m asking for anything besides your date of birth, your social security number and your mother’s maiden […]
HEBREWS 12:1-3
February 17, 2019 How many of you have ever heard of Kevin Mayer? How about Roman Sebrle? Tomas Dvorak? Okay, how about Ashton Eaton? These men are the four all-time top record holders of the Decathlon. Some won Gold in the Olympics, others won in the world championships – but these four have the highest […]
HEBREWS 11:31-40
February 10, 2019 We’ve all heard them – pithy Christian sayings or “truths” that aren’t actually in the Bible. I remember when I was in Bible college – we went to a large church. The pastor told about a phone call he’d received that week where the caller asked, “Where does it say in the […]
