A Warning Against Apostasy, Part 2
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.
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. 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 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. 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.
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.
Failure to Embrace the Gospel
Hebrews 4:1–10 Many people attend church, know the gospel, and consider themselves Christians — yet have never truly surrendered to Christ, leaving them in a place of spiritual danger they may not even recognize. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton examines why people stop short of genuine faith, unpacking how pride, worldly pleasure, self-deception, and false teaching keep people from entering the rest that only Christ can give.
The Perseverance of the Saints
Hebrews 4:1–11 Every person is searching for a satisfaction and rest that the world cannot provide — yet many who attend church week after week may never truly find it. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores what it means to genuinely enter God’s rest, why the perseverance of the saints is the bedrock of true salvation, and how to honestly examine whether your faith is the kind God gives or the kind that fades.
Persevering in the Heavenly Calling
Hebrews 3:7–19 Many people assume they belong to God based on a past decision, a baptism, or years of church attendance — but the Bible draws a much sharper line. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton shows that true saving faith is marked by perseverance, that a hardening heart is a serious warning sign, and that today is the day to examine whether you are truly in God’s household.
Jesus is Superior to Moses
Hebrews 3:1-6 Senior Pastor Rod Bunton teaches from a passage that compares Christ to one of the greatest prophets from Jewish history.
Help for Temptation
Hebrews 2:17-18 Did the “devil make you do it”? Does God tempt you to sin? When Jesus became a man, he experienced temptations just like we do and he is able to help us when we are tempted.
