Hebrews 10:32-39 || Those Who Are Faithful

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32–39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing me (and now all of us) back to the cross. He was about centering everything on Christ. I can’t think of a better way to step into Hebrews’ call to remember and endure than by remembering the faithfulness of God through the song of a man who lived it. This sermon is from the "Greater Than" series through Hebrews at La Mirada Christian Church. Listen to the complete series ‪@LaMiradaChurchChannel‬

Hebrews 10:26-31 || Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful God

What if the scariest words in Hebrews are actually an act of mercy? “If we go on sinning deliberately…” (Hebrews 10:26–31) can sound like doom, but this passage is a loving shout of “Stop!” to hearts drifting toward an eyes-wide-open rejection of Jesus. In this message, we unpack what “sinning deliberately” really means (and what it doesn’t), why phrases like “trampled the Son of God” and “outraged the Spirit of grace” are so strong, and how this warning comforts the worried, confronts the casual, and equips the faithful. You’ll see the difference between a weak struggler who stumbles yet repents and a willful heart that treats the cross as common. You’ll also hear why this is not about losing salvation, but about refusing the only sacrifice that saves and why the “hands of the living God” are fierce with justice and fierce with grace. Come be sobered, steadied, and invited back to Jesus, His people, and a holy, hopeful life.

Hebrews 10:1-4 || Our Greatest Need

What if life's biggest need isn't a quick fix? It’s easy to get caught up in wanting things *now*. But what if the deepest longing is for something more? What if it is a sense of peace that comes from within? Feeling like you're never enough? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t outrun guilt or find peace with God? In this message from Hebrews 10, we explore why all the sacrifices in the world - not bulls, goats, rituals, or even good deeds - could never do what Jesus did. This isn’t just theology; it’s the answer to your deepest need: to be fully justified, fully clean, and fully free.
Let’s talk about shadows, sacrifices, and the Savior who stretched out His arms to cover it all.

Hebrews 6:1-8 || Too Far Gone?

We're diving into some deep waters today as we explore the book of Hebrews together. Remember seven years ago when we first tackled Hebrews? Well, we're back! It's like catching up with an old friend. Today, we're tackling some of the most challenging yet beloved passages in the Bible. Hold on tight, because spiritual growth isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's oh-so-rewarding!
This episode focuses on leaving behind spiritual infancy and pressing on to maturity. We all start off as spiritual babies – that's normal! But as we grow, we need to move forward, beyond just the basics, and really embrace the deeper truths that lead to a fuller life in Christ. It's about trusting God to carry us forward – kind of like stepping off the high dive, even if the pool below looks miles away.
If you're feeling stuck or finding yourself asking, "Have I done enough?" this discussion is for you. We're talking about not just going through motions or treating our faith lightly, but really living it out, letting it transform us deeply. Dive in with us as we explore the exciting, sometimes daunting journey to maturity, ever clinging to the hope and assurance in Jesus.
This is such a challenging passage I included it in my "So Glad You Asked" series. Read that blog post here

Joshua 21-24 || Ep. 8 "Choose This Day"

Here we are at the conclusion of our study through Joshua. In this closing message we'll explore covenant faithfulness, the challenges of serving the Lord, and the timeless call to choose whom we will serve. I think you'll be encouraged and strengthened as you listen and review these final moments of Joshua and see with new eyes the story of conquest, covenant, and the unwavering promises of God. This is a heartfelt call to live a life of devoted service and allegiance to our Creator. Your heart will be inspired to cling, serve, and remember the everlasting faithfulness of God!
You can get the printable handout to follow along if you listen from the Dwelling Richly Bible study page on my website. Here
As we close our study through the book of Joshua, we arrive at Israel’s final charge in the land of promise and the season of Passover and First Fruits pointing us to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In Joshua 21–24 we remember God’s faithfulness, reflect on the lives of Joshua, Rahab, Caleb, and others, and renew our commitment to serve the Lord. Through covenant, geography, and grace, we see how God finishes what He starts and how the resurrection guarantees that promise.
We’ll explore:✔️ What it means to choose this day✔️ How Joshua's story connects to Jesus’ resurrection✔️ Why Paul could confidently say, “He who began a good work in you…”✔️ How to live as a faithful witness in every season
Scripture: Joshua 21:1–24:33 | Philippians 1:6 | Hebrews 6:1–8Theme: Covenant Faithfulness, Resurrection Hope, and Living Strong & Courageous

"Courage to Claim Promises: Walking in Faith and Victory"

Ever feel like you’re standing on the edge of something God promised but hesitating to step forward? You’re not alone. In Joshua 10-14, we see battles won, prayers so bold they stopped the sun, and an unlikely group—the Gibeonites—who secured a covenant with God by accident.
💭 Key Quote: “The battle has already been won. The question isn’t if God is faithful. The question is, will we have the courage to claim what He has given?”
From Joshua’s sun-stand-still prayer to Caleb’s “Give me this mountain” faith, this message will challenge you to:
✅ Pray bold, audacious prayers
✅ Step into victory like it’s already yours (because it is!)
✅ Stop waiting for “good enough” and claim what God has promised
And yes—there’s even a Spongebob reference. Because biblical truth is best served with a side of humor. 😆
