The multimillionaire William Hearst forbade anyone in his residence to utter the word “death” and had withered palm leaves painted green, yet he died like everyone else. This sermon, based on the second chapter of Hebrews (Hebrews 2), shows a great God who does not watch our struggles from above but in Jesus becomes a man, our brother of flesh and blood, to defeat, through his own death, the one who holds the power of death. You will also hear about Leo Tolstoy’s torments and about a mop in a mahogany display case that changed someone’s life. Listen if you want to stop painting dead leaves green.
A Great God Who Comes Close
The Best
Sometimes, when life gets tough and God seems silent, we wonder if our faith makes sense and if it might be worth looking for something better. The readers of the Letter to the Hebrews faced similar questions. Its author, however, shows that Jesus is greater and more wonderful than anything they had previously considered important. That’s why we have a teaching series ahead of us based on this fascinating Letter, through which we can discover that Jesus is simply THE BEST!
