"Approaching the Holy: From Tabernacle to Temple of the Heart"

In this rich and deeply personal sermon, Reverend Billy Cerveny explores the awe-inspiring journey of worship—from the ancient tabernacle in the wilderness to the indwelling presence of God in the human heart. Reflecting on Hebrews 7, Reverend Cerveny emphasizes the permanence and power of Jesus as our eternal High Priest—One who intercedes on our behalf, not pleading for mercy, but presenting the full payment for our sin, marked by His own blood.

With vulnerability and pastoral warmth, Reverend Cerveny shares a poignant story from his visit to a memory care facility where, despite cognitive decline, residents responded vividly to the liturgy and communion. This encounter becomes a launching point to contrast self-focused worship with the deeper reality of a God who is both infinitely holy and intimately near.
