Hebrews Pt 15 "Why Stand When You Can Sit?"

In this message on Hebrews 10, we explore how the law was only a shadow of the good things to come and why Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice changes everything. From the priest who always stood to minister to the Messiah who sat down at the right hand of God, we contrast performance-based Christianity with the grace of the New Covenant. Along the way, we walk through Psalm 40, Jeremiah 31, Romans 8:34, and Luke 22:31–32 to show that Christ not only finished the work but is even now interceding for His people. With humor, story, and Scripture, this teaching presses into the difference between trying to be loved by God and living because you are.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by guilt, shame, or the pressure to “do more” for God, this sermon invites you to rest in Christ’s finished work and lean into the ongoing process of sanctification. You’ll hear how obedience is better than sacrifice, why the gospel is the best news for weary hearts, and how God writes His law on our hearts and minds under the New Covenant. Stay to the end for a clear invitation to exchange the bad news that echoes over your life for the good news of Jesus, who remembers your sins no more and welcomes you to sit in the peace He secured.
