New Covenant Church Sunday Service - Sept 29 2024 - Whose Side Are You On

Fr. Christopher explores the question "Whose side are you on?" through various biblical and contemporary examples, emphasizing the importance of understanding whose side God is on, particularly through the ministry of angels and the superiority of Christ.

• Recurring Question of Allegiance: The question "Whose side are you on?" is a recurring theme in various biblical stories, including Eldad and Medad, and in contemporary contexts such as sports and cartoons.
• Context of the Hebrews: Fr. Christopher addresses a congregation from the Book of Hebrews that faced persecution and is tempted to revert to old practices or adopt new teachings.
• Reminder of God's Allegiance: Fr. Christopher emphasizes the importance of understanding that God is on their side before questioning their allegiance to Christ.
• Role of Angels: The sermon reflects on the ministry of angels, their biblical history, and their role in supporting those who inherit salvation, highlighting their presence in significant biblical events.
• Christ's Superiority: Christ is superior to angels, Moses, and the high priests, offering a new and living way into God's presence and cleansing consciences permanently.
• Christ's Suffering and Humanity: Christ's suffering and humanity are essential for breaking the power of the devil and freeing people from the fear of death, making him a merciful and faithful high priest.
• Call to Action: We are encouraged to support those suffering or tempted, mirror Christ's actions, and show hospitality to strangers, as it may lead to encountering angels.
