New Approach, Same Throne (Adam Baird)

Associate Pastor Adam Baird's sermon, "New Approach, Same Throne," centered on Hebrews 4:14–16, emphasizing that because of Jesus Christ, believers no longer have to approach God with fear, shame, or a performance mindset. Instead, Jesus, our compassionate High Priest, understands our weaknesses, invites us into God's presence with confidence, and offers mercy for our past, grace for our future, and help for our present needs. Through personal testimony and biblical teaching, Baird encouraged those burdened by sin, failure, addiction, or discouragement to stop believing they must "clean themselves up" before coming to God, and instead boldly enter the throne of grace just as they are, trusting in Christ's finished work rather than their own efforts.
