The Priestly Order of Melchizedek, Part 2
Hebrews 7 Hebrews explores why Jesus’ priesthood is legitimate even though he does not come from the Levitical line, by looking at the mysterious priest-king Melchizedek and God’s work outside the later Jewish system. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Melchizedek points to Jesus as the greater, eternal King and High Priest who gives righteousness and peace with God, calling listeners to worship Christ and trust him as the only mediator.

A Warning Against Apostasy, Part 3

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 Many people sit in church week after week, intellectually agreeing with the gospel, going through the motions, yet never truly placing their trust in Christ alone for salvation.

A Warning Against Apostasy, Part 1
Hebrews 5:11–14 Many people grow familiar with the gospel but never truly respond to it — and over time, that neglect hardens the heart in ways that are difficult to reverse.

The Perfectly Qualified High Priest
Hebrews 5:1–10 Every person needs a way to approach God — and the question of who can make that possible is more urgent than most people realize.

The Word of God is Living and Active
Hebrews 4:11–13 Every person we long to reach is up against barriers — spiritual, intellectual, and unseen — that no human argument or clever strategy can overcome. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton reveals why the Word of God alone carries the power to penetrate hardened hearts, exposes the three barriers every unbeliever faces, and challenges us to trust the gospel over our own persuasive efforts.
Understanding the Sabbath, Part 2
Hebrews 4:9-10 For centuries, the Sabbath has sparked debate among Christians — is it still binding, and if so, how? In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton traces the Sabbath from its origins through the New Testament to show that Christ is the fulfillment of the Sabbath rest, that the ceremonial law has been completed in him, and that believers enter true rest not by rule-keeping but by faith.
Understanding the Sabbath, Part 1
Hebrews 4:9 Few topics in the Christian life generate more confusion than the Sabbath — whether it still applies, which day to observe, and what the rules actually are. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton traces the Sabbath from creation through the Mosaic covenant to show that it was a covenant sign given to Israel, not a universal moral law, and that Jesus himself came as the Lord of the Sabbath to usher in something far greater.
