How Should We Pray?
The book of Hebrews ends with a pastoral benediction over God’s people, as well as direction on how we should pray. We are encouraged to pray for the work of God in Christ, who is our peace, our life, and our Great Shepherd. We are also reminded to pray for the people of God, that he would equip us, work in us, and that we would listen to his Word. May we keep our eyes on Christ as we persevere to the end! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Obedience That Leads to Blessing
The book of Hebrews calls us to follow and obey not only our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, but the pastors and elders that he has placed in authority over his church. In this sermon from Hebrews 13:17-19, Austin Farley looks at why we should follow and submit to our leaders, as well as what this looks like in the life of the church. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

A Life of Worship
Our response to the book of Hebrews should be to offer up a sacrifice of praise, but what does this sacrifice of praise look like? In this sermon from Hebrews 13:15-16, Pastor Phil looks at the motivation, the manner, and the methods of true worship. We see that we can live a life that is pleasing to God when we acknowledge his name in our lives, do not neglect to do good, and willingly share what we have. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The Disgrace of Grace
As believers, are we fully devoted to Christ and willing to share our faith with others, or are we too proud, afraid, or even ashamed of the gospel? In this sermon from Hebrews 13:9-14, Pastor Neal looks at the beauty and great joy of God’s grace, where the believer will find no disgrace or shame, but hope and assurance in the gospel of Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Why Christ's Death Is So Important
What is so important about the death of Christ? In this Easter sermon from 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, Pastor Phil looks at the motivation, the purpose, and the impact of the death of Jesus Christ. It was motivated by a love beyond comprehension, accomplished our salvation through Christ being our substitute, and through the work of the Spirit, it has the power to transform our lives.

A Faithful Life of Worship
God’s word is clear that He alone is worthy of our worship, and it calls us to love him with all we have. But what does this look like in our lives? In Hebrews 13:5-8, we see that a life of worship includes being a faithful steward of what the Lord has given us, as well as a faithful leader who not only models what a true believer looks like, but who is willing to invest time in the growth and maturity of others. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
