Welcome to the Homewood Cumberland Presbyterian Church Sermon Podcast. We’re glad you’re joining us as we listen to God’s Word and grow together in faith.

Today’s sermon, preached by Reverend Derek Jacks on September 27, 2026, is titled “Hold Fast and Draw Near,” from Hebrews 4:14 through 5:10.

When we face weakness, temptation, or uncertainty, where can we turn? Hebrews directs us to Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, who understands our struggles and opens the way into God’s presence. Because of him, we can hold firmly to our confession of faith and approach God’s throne with confidence, trusting that we will receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.

As you listen, consider how Christ’s compassion strengthens your faith and invites you into deeper fellowship with God.

Now, let us hear “Hold Fast and Draw Near.”

Welcome to the Homewood Cumberland Presbyterian Church Sermon Discussion Podcast, where we take a closer look at God’s Word and continue the conversation beyond Sunday morning.

In this episode, Rev. Derek Jacks sits down with members of the Faith Builders Sunday School Class to discuss the sermon “Neglect Not the Gift,” based on Hebrews 2:1–4. Together, they reflect on the warning of Hebrews to “pay much closer attention” to the gospel so that we do not drift away from the salvation we have received.

What does spiritual drifting look like in everyday life? How can we remain attentive to Christ and faithful to the gift of salvation? And how can the church help one another hold firmly to the gospel?

Join us for the conversation as we consider what it means to neglect not the gift.

Welcome to the Homewood Cumberland Presbyterian Church Sermon Podcast.

Today’s sermon was preached on Sunday, August 23, 2026, and is titled “Neglect Not the Gift,” based on Hebrews 2:1–4.

Hebrews warns us to pay careful attention to the good news we have received, lest we slowly drift away from it. The danger is not always a deliberate rejection of faith. Sometimes it is simply neglect—allowing our hearts to wander from the grace and salvation God has given us in Jesus Christ.

Yet the gospel calls us back to Christ, reminding us of the greatness of the salvation he has accomplished for us.

So, wherever you are listening today, may you hear God’s Word with renewed attention and gratitude as we hear the sermon, “Neglect Not the Gift.”
