You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them... But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God... ~ Hebrews 12:18-29, 22

This is the second sermon in a monthly series on the book of Hebrews.
