Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace
from Hope UC Chicago · host Pastor Aaron Lage
What if the God of the universe actually knows exactly what it feels like to be tempted by the very things we struggle with? Hebrews 4 reveals a truth that transforms how we approach our relationship with God: Jesus wasn't only divine—He was fully human, experiencing every temptation, weakness, and limitation we face. The passage dismantles our tendency to hide from God when we've messed up, replacing shame with an invitation to boldly approach His throne. We discover that our High Priest isn't distant or unable to relate to our struggles; He's walked in our shoes, felt our hunger, battled our anger, and faced our loneliness. Yet unlike us, He never gave in. This isn't meant to discourage us but to empower us—because it means there's always a way out of temptation, and we have direct VIP access to the One who conquered it all. We must stop telling ourselves stories that justify our sin patterns and instead examine our hearts with the living, active Word of God that cuts through our self-deception. 6/26 6/26Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.
