43:32 minutes (9.97 MB)Pastor Arters and the elders have been seeking the Lord's direction for Dix Hills EFC in the months and years ahead. Today, Pastor Arters shares with the congregation what God has been speaking to his heart. May the scriptures he shares resonate with what God has been laying on your heart for our land.

45:33 minutes (10.44 MB)This is a great passage about putting what we know into practice. Hebrews 10:19-25 encourages us to do three things in response to Jesus work, Draw Near in Faith, Hang on to Hope, and Spur on to Love.

37:03 minutes (8.49 MB)Some people faint at the sight of blood, others squirm at the mention of it, yet as Christians we have songs about blood, and even drink a cup of juice, reminding us of Jesus' blood. It is one the one hand repulsive, and on the other hand beautiful. Let us then, in remembering Jesus, reject the sin in our lives that is repulsive, and embrace the love so beautifully expressed in Christ.

44:26 minutes (10.25 MB)Your story is your identity. Who you are is often defined by where you've been. We're going to take a look at three stories about God's people. We'll look for our identity in the story of redemption and talk about what it means to live lives within the "wilderness" looking forward to our eternal hope. We'll be thinking about how Jesus helps us and what the book of Hebrews says to those of us who are going through difficulties.

35:05 minutes (8.04 MB)We all want to have purpose, and to know what that purpose for our lives is. It is then up to us to carry out God's intentions and instructions for each of us. This passage reminds us that we have been born again in Christ in order to freely serve the Living God. Let us respond to the High Priestly service of the Lord with service to the Lord and His people.

42:33 minutes (9.74 MB)Signs are helpful indicators to point us in the right direction, but just reading signs will not get us anywhere. Hebrews 8 reminds us that the Old Testament regulations were pointers to lead us to Jesus.

40:18 minutes (9.23 MB)Jesus is our great high priest, who has offered up himself in atonement for our sin. His priesthood is foreshadowed in the book of Genesis in the person of Melchizedek. So when we learn about this odd encounter with Abraham, we can gain insight into the gracious work of Jesus.

41:02 minutes (9.4 MB)Last week's sermon was a stern warning to remain true to the faith and grow to maturity because the alternative to faith in Christ is spiritual death. It ended with an encouragement to persevere and receive what was promised. Let us place our hope securely in the Lord Jesus, because He has been faithful.

47:21 minutes (10.84 MB)The author of Hebrews doesn't mince words when it comes to the dangers of immaturity or falling away from Christ. And though we may find his message uncomfortable, let God's word challenge you to mature and endure.
