Sermons by Rod Bunton (Page 50)
A Permanent Promise
Hebrews 7:20–28 Doubts and insecurity can make it hard to know whether anyone can truly have lasting access to God, especially when relying on religious effort or personal performance. Pastor Rod Bunton shows that Jesus is the forever high priest who guarantees a better covenant by God’s unchanging oath, continually intercedes for those who come through him, and secures complete salvation through his perfect life and once-for-all sacrifice.
A Better Hope
Hebrews 7:11-19 Hebrews 7 shows why the old priesthood and its rituals could never bring people into God’s presence, because God’s standard is perfection and the law can only expose sin, not remove it. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Jesus is the greater priest who replaces the old system, lives forever, and gives believers confident access to God through his finished work.
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.
The Priestly Order of Melchizedek, Part 1
Hebrews 7:1-10 This message explores how Melchizedek in Scripture points beyond the old religious system to a different kind of priesthood that truly brings people into God’s presence. Pastor Rod Bunton explains the big ideas of Christ as the eternal priest-king who provides real righteousness and peace with God, and invites listeners to consider who they are trusting as their mediator.
Anchored Hope: God’s Promise, God’s Oath
The message explores how believers persevere through hardship by holding fast to a confident, forward-looking hope rooted in God’s unbreakable promises. Pastor Rod Bunton shows how God’s promise and oath to Abraham, fulfilled ultimately in Christ, give firm assurance that anchors the soul and calls Christians to press on with full confidence to the end.
Three Signs of Saving Faith
Hebrews 6:9–12 This message explores how Hebrews describes the marks of genuine saving faith and offers reassurance to believers who may feel unsettled by strong warnings. Pastor Rod Bunton highlights big ideas like faith that produces visible works, love for God, and ongoing love for fellow believers as evidences that accompany salvation.
A Warning to Gospel-Hardened Hearts
Hebrews 5:11–6:8 This message warns about the spiritual danger of hearing the gospel clearly and repeatedly without truly embracing Christ, and explains why such exposure can harden the heart rather than lead to faith. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasizes the big idea that salvation is secure in God’s finished work, while urging listeners to move beyond mere familiarity and respond with genuine repentance and persevering trust.
Religion Won’t Save You
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. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton unpacks one of Scripture’s most debated and misunderstood passages, showing that eternal security rests entirely in God’s hands, and challenging every listener to move beyond religious ritual and empty profession to genuine faith in the finished work of Christ.
From Shadow to Substance: Moving from the Old Covenant to Christ
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. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores how spiritual immaturity isn’t just a growth issue but a salvation issue, showing that the warnings in Hebrews are a call to move from religious familiarity into genuine faith in Christ.
The Great High Priest: Christ Our Mediator Before God
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. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores how Jesus Christ fulfills the role of our permanent High Priest, why his shared humanity makes him uniquely compassionate toward our struggles, and why his once-for-all sacrifice opens direct access to God for all who trust in him.
The Great High Priest: Our Mediator, Our Advocate, Our Hope
Hebrews 4:14–16 Every person faces the gap between their own sinfulness and a holy God — and that gap demands a mediator who is both fully human and fully divine. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton reveals why Jesus as our Great High Priest is the only one who can bring us into God’s presence, showing that he sympathizes with our struggles, has permanently satisfied God’s wrath on our behalf, and invites us to approach the throne of grace with…
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.
