Sermons at High Peak

Can you lose your salvation? Many people think that Hebrews 10 says you can, but in this message on Hebrews 10:26-39 may say something different. We'll take a look at it and inspire you to find confidence in the grace and faith in Jesus, who is better than the Old Testament sacrifice, religious practice, and the old covenant. I'm Dr. Kevin A. Purcell, pastor of High Peak Baptist Church in Valdese, NC. You can find us on the web or Facebook. Please listen and tell us what you think.

Go to church? But why should I, many ask? After establishing that Jesus is better than the OT sacrifice for bringing about salvation, the author of Hebrews tells us the benefits of putting our trust in Jesus and how to apply that trust. The final application says, "Go to church!" Listen as I cover Hebrews 10:19-25. I'm Dr. Kevin A. Purcell, pastor of High Peak Baptist Church in Valdese, NC. You can find us on the web or Facebook.

After a long four-month hiatus, we're back with the next installment of our study in the book of Hebrews with a sermon on Hebrews 10:1-18. This brings us to a bit of a climax on how Jesus is Better than the Angels, the first covenant, the priesthood, and the Old Testament sacrifices. This passage focuses on how Jesus and his sacrifice made it possible for everyone to trust Jesus for salvation and eternal life. Why is Jesus' sacrifice better than the OT sacrifice, and how does that guarantee your salvation while good works don't? I'm Dr. Kevin A. Purcell, pastor of High Peak Baptist Church in Valdese, NC.

There's debate about how much of the Old Testament Christians need to obey. One part of this comes from temple worship. Why don't we build temples and offer sacrifices? The answer is Melchizedek. Who is he, and why does he matter? And why does this make Jesus better than the OT Priestly system? Grab your Bible and open to Hebrews 7:1-10 as we cover that in this week's Sermons at High Peak as we go through the book of Hebrews. I'm Dr. Kevin A.

Many people make promises, and we can trust some but not others. But can we trust God's promises? He's made a lot of them, the most important of which is the promise to save your soul if you trust him for forgiveness and repent of your sins. We look at the last passage in Hebrews 5-6, which interrupt the flow of the book to discuss the subject of God's reliability as he makes promises of salvation and more. This message comes from Hebrews 6:13-20. I'm Dr. Kevin A. Purcell, pastor of High Peak Baptist Church in Valdese, NC. You can find us on the web, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

We begin this week's message with a clip from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou, where one of the 3 main characters get Baptized. Delmar proclaims that he's been redeemed and then says God has nothing on him. But is he right? And like Delmar, is our baptism authentic and our salvation real? We look at Hebrews 6:4-8 to see if we're truly saved. You can test your faith and see if it measures up to the author of Hebrews' five tests of sincere faith. I'm Dr. Kevin A.

Grade school is important. If a kid could never get beyond grade school no matter how long she was in school, then we'd get worried. That's also true of spiritual growth.

When you have to go before an authority, whether it's your boss, the principal back in school, or anyone else who has power over you, its easier if someone goes with you. That can be a friend, a co-worker, or a supporter. But what if that authority is God? That's more intimidating. However, one person will take you to the throne of heaven and help you walk in like you belong! That's this week's message from Hebrews 4:14-16 as we continue to go through the book of Hebrews seeing how Jesus is better. I'm Dr. Kevin A.

This sermon was about what seems like a boring subject, but was the most exciting I've preached in awhile. It's a complex argument from Hebrews 4:1-11 and discusses how the Sabbath Rest of the OT is not as important as the promised Sabbath Rest of Jesus is. I got really excited by the end of this as I described the Sabbath rest of eternity that's coming soon for all people. You might want to turn your volume down near the end. I'm Dr. Kevin A.
