Sermons on Hebrews
Jacob’s Benediction
As Jacob nears the end of his life, he gathers his twelve sons to pronounce blessings that are not merely personal predictions but prophetic revelations reaching into the “last days.” While each blessing reflects the character and history of the sons, together they form a remarkable portrait of the coming Messiah. Reuben’s blessing points to the promised Son of God. Simeon and Levi, associated with violence, the Law, and the curse, foreshadow Christ taking upon Himself the curse of the…
Surely the LORD is in this Place
Esau, seeing Jacob blessed again and realizing his own marriages displeased his parents, attempts to correct his course by taking another wife from Ishmael’s line. His reaction appears outwardly adjusted but lacks true surrender. It reflects the difference between superficial regret and genuine repentance—wanting the blessing without embracing the covenant. Meanwhile, Jacob travels alone, exhausted and afraid. With no shelter but a stone for a pillow, he falls asleep in an ordinary, unnamed place. There, without prayer or preparation, heaven…
Abraham’s Sojourn
Gen 23:1-20 Abraham’s life is presented as a long journey of faith shaped by promise, failure, discovery, and growing intimacy with God. He receives promises of descendants and land, seeing the first fulfillment of offspring through Isaac while the ultimate fulfillment extends to all who share his faith. After Sarah’s death, Abraham identifies himself in the promised land as a foreigner and sojourner, illustrating that God’s people live in earthly realities while belonging to a greater homeland. Believers are portrayed…
The Enduring Covenant
Genesis 17:1-27 The passage reflects on Genesis 17 as a pivotal reaffirmation of God’s covenant with Abraham after decades of waiting. Twenty-four years after the original call and thirteen years after Ishmael’s birth, God renews His promise in a way that removes all doubt that its fulfillment will be a divine act. By revealing Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty, He emphasizes His power to accomplish what is humanly impossible, especially the birth of a son to an elderly, barren…
Melchizedek
Gen 14:1-24 A conflict rises across the region as a dominant eastern ruler forces surrounding kingdoms into years of tribute. When several finally rebel, a coalition of four kings marches west, crushing smaller communities along the way before confronting five rebellious kings near the Salt Sea. The rebels are defeated; their cities are plundered, and captives are taken—including Lot, now living in Sodom. News of the capture reaches Abram, who gathers a small force of trained men and pursues the…
Trusting God in Life’s Storms
Acts 27:21-44 Faith and trust in God — believing He will fulfill His promises, has things under control, and will guide our path. The core question is: How does God use challenges to prepare us for life’s storms? Paul’s journey in Acts 27, from Crete to the shipwreck at Malta, shows that despite dangerous storms and loss of cargo, Paul’s faith and God’s promise assured all 276 aboard would survive. Paul relied on God’s word over visible circumstances, prayed for…

One evening, as Mary, Joseph and Jesus were going about their evening activity, they suddenly received unexpected visitors – Wise Men from the East. Who are they? Does the Bible give any clues?…
Disobedient Disciples and a Wise Pharisee
Acts 5:17-42 This is the second time Peter and John are arrested within a few weeks. They were put in prison to get them out of the way, but at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out. If God has a job for you to do, and you are walking in it, He can do anything to overcome obstacles that would prevent you from accomplishing your job. The witness of the apostles was…
The Second Sermon
Acts 3:11-26 The lame man, having been healed through faith in the name of Jesus Christ was free at last. Are we crippled in our life trough fear, remorse, sin, anger?We too can be freed through Jesus. The people in the crowd were staring at Peter and John in amazement at this miraculous healing.
