A Community for Christ

The call to Christian community is beautiful but challenging.

Text: Hebrews 12:12-17

Date: August 17, 2025

In this sermon, we looked at Hebrews 12:12-17. This passage fleshes out the call to run the race that is set before us. The imagery of running a race can seem very individualistic, but instead, we're to care for one another in that race. The healing and mending isn't done by our own work, but through the prayer and the preaching of the gospel to one another.

We are called to help one another on the path that God has placed before us. This is so we can move away from sin, towards peace and holiness. In this lifetime, we will wrestle with sin constantly, which will make the Christian community challenging. Which is why we are reminded again and again to offer each other grace.
