Hebrews 11 lists heroes of faith who were seeking a home outside their present reality when they responded to God’s call. RAHAB was perhaps one of the most unconventional of them all!

On this Mother’s Day, in preparation for communion Tim discusses how Jesus ensured that his mother would be cared for while he hung on the cross.

After laying the theological foundation of Christ’s redemptive mission, the author of Hebrews pivots to exploring the many practical implications for those who believe. 

This week in preparation for communion Tim discusses what our conscience is and how it is cleansed.

In the 40 days that Jesus ministered in Palestine following His resurrection, He chose to give the disciples a deja vu experience that was “the same thing, only different”. I wonder why?

This week we discuss how Christ slowly orchestrated the path to Calvary.

Given one week before the crucifixion, Christ has to choose His ministry focus from a myriad of possibilities. Why did He orchestrate the entry into Jerusalem that He did?

As Passion Week begins we remember the week full of importance for Jesus and His followers.  He chose to be despised and rejected, broken and poured out, to bear our sin, pain and suffering.

As the author of Hebrews continues to explain Jesus Christ within the Hebrew context, he now shows that the tabernacle established in the Mosaic Law was always meant to be a temporary means of accessing the presence of God. 

This week Tim discusses how the Jesus’ sacrifice allows us to come into God’s presence.

In Hebrews 8, the author describes the new covenant ushered in by Jesus Christ as superior to the old covenant. His description points to a relationship enabled by the blood of Christ, not a new religion.

The author of Hebrews uses the account of Melchizedek to help his Hebrew audience understand that Jesus Christ came as the high priest of a new covenant.

After warning his readers of the ultimate threat of repeating the errors of their ancestors, the author of Hebrews qualifies the threat of never entering God’s rest. 

This week Tim discusses Matthew 12.  Jesus performed miracles in response to need, not to impress people or to prove who He was.  He has proven himself over and over again.

In unpacking the identity of Jesus Christ for his readers, the author of Hebrews now explains why Christ had to incarnate.

This week Tim discusses reciprocity – accepting as the same.  The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross was far superior to the old testament animal sacrifices.

With such an incredible salvation, drifting away from it seems inexplicable if it wasn’t for our propensity to lose attention through creeping neglect.

Breaking Bread is a weekly presentation by Tim Edwards in preparation for communion.  This week Tim discusses “how good is good enough”.  God’s assessment of humanity is that not one is righteous.  This is why we have given our lives to Jesus.  He paid the price for our sins.  His righteousness is ascribed to us.

Angels are God’s servants sent to serve His followers. Does this mean that we should be fostering a relationship with them?

Breaking Bread is a weekly presentation by Tim Edwards in preparation for communion.  This week Tim discusses Jesus’ invitation to come without money to buy and eat.
