This sermon was preached the day before Valentine’s Day. But instead of focusing on human relationships, we’ll be looking at the best relationship you can have: one with Jesus Christ! Hebrews 8 will show us that being in a relationship with Jesus is better than any other relationship there is.
Do I have a relationship with Jesus?

What does that relationship look like in my life?

In this sermon we turn to Hebrews 7:1-22 to talk about the best king, the best priest, and the best boss that we could ever have: Jesus Christ. Anyone else we may want to follow or support cannot compare to Him.

What makes a good boss?

Why do I follow Jesus Christ?”

We live in a world that is constantly changing and often seems to be without hope. What can we turn to in a world in desperate need of hope and stability? We will discover in Hebrews 6:13-20 that the answer is found in Jesus Christ, who offers us a better promise of hope than we can find anywhere else. When we need hope for the future and an anchor for our souls in the here and now, we can trust Him.

What do I turn to in order to create or maintain stability in my life?

How do (or how should) God’s promises give me hope?

In this sermon, we will look at one of the most controversial and difficult passages of the Bible in Hebrews 6:4-12. But in this hard text, we will find an amazing truth: Jesus is better than a false hope for salvation and He is better than believing there is no hope to be saved.

In other words, this week we will learn how we can know if we are truly saved.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, “Has faith in Christ made a difference in my life? If so, what has changed?”

A sermon from ESBC Elder Daniel Long.

Elder Tom Toone returns to Hebrews 5:13-14 to talk about spiritual maturity.
Am I growing spiritually? If not, why not?

The Lord is (and Jesus will someday be) a strong king.

In this sermon we will talk about the importance of spiritual growth from Hebrews 5:11-6:3. Believers in Jesus are not called to be comfortable and complacent, but to grow more and more to become like their Lord and Savior.
Am I growing spiritually? If not, why not?

As we approach Christmas, we don’t like to think about hardship and suffering. But the reality of suffering often comes whether we like it or not. That is why we will be encouraged by considering Christ’s perfect suffering in Hebrews 5:1-10. Because He is perfect and He suffered for us, we can have confidence that our present suffering has a purpose and that one day our suffering will end.
Do you (or someone you know) seem to have a hard time during the holidays?

What comfort should we have in the fact that Christ suffered for us?

In this sermon, we will hear a needed reminder from God’s Word that we cannot go through life alone. Fortunately, for believers, we have a Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is much better than trying to go it alone. Hebrews 4:14-16 will tell us why.
Why is it a bad idea to try to go through life alone? How can Jesus help me in my daily life?

A sermon from ESBC Elder Daniel Long.

In this sermon, we will “Fall Back” as Daylight Savings Time ends. So, it seems appropriate that, in the sermon, we’ll talk about rest. Hebrews 4:1-11 will explore what the Bible’s teaching on rest means for the Christian life. What is God’s rest and how can we be a part of it? Our passage will tell us.
How do I rest? What kind of rest should I be striving for?

In this sermon, we discuss the dangers of false faith. We may claim to be a Christian, but if we fail to persevere, we will not make it to the Promised Land. That is why Hebrews 3:7-19 tells us that Jesus is better than fake faith.
Is my faith real or fake? How do I know that?

We love to celebrate the accomplishments of great men and women, whether they be athletes, political leaders, faithful followers of Christ, or the people who made a profound difference in our personal lives. But in Hebrews 3:1-6, we’ll discover that Jesus is better than our heroes. As great as their accomplishments are, they cannot compare to what He has done for us.
Who are my heroes? What has Jesus done that makes Him better than any other hero?

I have two brothers. They’re fun to be around and I love them very much. If you have brothers, I hope you feel the same. But whether you have a brother or not, we’ll discover that Jesus is a better brother in Hebrews 2:10-18. As great as our earthly brothers may be, Jesus suffered for us, died to defeat death’s hold on us, and is available to help us every day.
Is Jesus my brother? Why is it important that Jesus defeated death?

A sermon from ESBC Elder Daniel Long.
How have you seen evidence of Him in your day today?

The Christian life is hard. Sometimes we may be tempted to give up. That’s why we’ll be in Hebrews 2:1-9 talking about why Jesus is better than giving up. The salvation He offers is better than any other alternative and He is worth following.
What keeps me in the Christian faith? Why is Jesus better than any other alternative?

In this sermon, we’ll be in Hebrews 1:3-14. This passage is about how Jesus is better than angels, but we’re going to expand our focus and recognize that Jesus is better than any “supernatural” thing that exists or that we can imagine. Angels, demons, or even something made-up like vampires… Jesus is Better than the “Supernatural.”
What is appealing about “supernatural” beings/creatures?

How is Jesus better than that them?
