Welcoming

Good morning, dear brothers and sisters in Christ! Today, we gather as a family, bound by the love and grace of our Lord. As we come together, let’s take a moment to breathe deeply, to let go of the worries and stresses of our week, and to open our hearts to God’s comforting words. Our scripture today reminds us that we don’t need to keep striving on our own. God’s grace and forgiveness are freely given, and we are invited to rest in His finished work.

Opening Prayer

Let’s bow our heads in prayer. Dear Lord, thank You for bringing us together today. We come before You, longing for Your presence and Your wisdom. Open our hearts and minds to receive Your Word with clarity and peace. Show us how to lean on You and let Your love shape our lives. May we be transformed by Your truth today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Introduction to Scripture

Today, our scripture comes from Hebrews 10:11-18. This passage reveals God’s ultimate plan through Jesus Christ – a plan that brings forgiveness, freedom, and purpose. It’s a reminder that through Jesus’ sacrifice, our sins are not only forgiven, but they’re forgotten. There’s no need to keep carrying the weight of our mistakes because Jesus has already lifted it for us.

The Events in the NIV Bible Verse

In these verses, the writer of Hebrews explains how priests used to stand day after day, offering sacrifices that could never fully remove sins. But when Jesus came, He offered one perfect sacrifice, once and for all. Jesus’ sacrifice did what no human effort could ever achieve – it washed us clean forever. Now, we’re invited to live in the freedom of His grace, secure in God’s love.

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 10:11-18 (NIV)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again, he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.
14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First, he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

Intercessory Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Help us to accept this gift fully, leaving behind the weight of guilt and regret. Let us live in the joy of Your grace, trusting that You have written Your love on our hearts. Guide us to be a light for others, sharing the peace we find in You. Amen.

Congregational Prayer Response

Lord, we thank You that through Jesus, we are forgiven and set free. Help us to rest in Your finished work, and to live each day in the assurance of Your love and grace. Amen.

Sermon Title: “Forgiven and Free! Living in God’s Grace”

Sermon Outline

1. The Old System of Sacrifices (Hebrews 10:11)

Every priest stood daily, offering sacrifices that could never fully take away sins.

In the old covenant, priests worked tirelessly to cleanse people’s sins, but the work was never done. It reminds us of how we sometimes try to earn God’s favor through our own efforts.

2. Jesus’ Perfect Sacrifice (Hebrews 10:12-14)

Jesus offered one sacrifice for all time and sat down, having made us perfect in God’s sight.

Through His sacrifice, Jesus did what no human effort could ever accomplish. He has fully cleansed us and made us holy, giving us rest from our striving.

3. A New Covenant Written on Our Hearts (Hebrews 10:15-17)

God’s laws are now in our hearts, and our sins are remembered no more.

God’s Spirit has placed His truth in our hearts, so we can live in freedom and confidence. We no longer need to carry guilt or shame.

4. Living in Freedom and Assurance (Hebrews 10:18)

Where sins are forgiven, no more sacrifice is needed.

Because Jesus has done it all, we can live in the security of His love, knowing that we are forever accepted and cherished by God.
