If God always knew Christ would come, and that a New Covenant would be instituted to replace the Old, then what was the point? Why did God give Moses the Old Law at all?

What is legalism? There are a lot of different ways people use the word, so we all need to be on the same page before we can understand Paul’s warnings to the Galatians. What sort of attitude was Paul so worried about?

The last month has been a crucible. Born out of that crucible are about six sermon ideas that we will work through together in the wake of Stan’s death. This first sermon is one I stole from Doug Burleson and then slightly modified for my own use. He preached it at the Estes Church of Christ the Sunday after the funeral and I thought it was very powerful. Thanks for the outline Doug.

(Preaching through Hebrews. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on June 3, 2018.)
Hebrews 11 is typically considered one of the great chapters of the Bible, the “Hall of Faith”. Before we can dig into the faithful men and women of history, we must first examine faith itself: what is faith, what does it mean to have faith, and why does it matter?
