“Greater Than Moses”
August 7, 2022
Please CLICK HERE to download the service notes.
As We Gather
We continue our study of Hebrews. This letter is a written sermon to believers who were struggling with their faith. They were being tempted to go back to a life without Jesus, a life rooted in the unfulfilled promises and pictures of the Old Testament. The writer of this letter seeks to show them in many ways that Jesus is better, not only better than what they had before, but better than everything.
Today we focus on the relationship between Moses and Jesus. Moses is a model of faithfulness as a servant of the Lord. Yet our text calls us to fix our thoughts on Jesus who is greater than Moses, for Jesus came to fulfill and complete what God worked through Moses. What does this mean for us as we fix our thoughts on the Savior?
Live-stream and in-person worship begin at 9:30 AM. Please CLICK HERE to download the link to the live-stream itself.
