Hebrews: Discipleship Lessons

13. Let Us Love: Workings of Faith (Hebrews 13:1-25)

Call us to love brothers and sisters, to maintain sexual purity, to shun the love of money. He assures them that God will never forsake them, imitating leaders is the way to growth, and to offer sacrifices of praise.

12. Let Us Endure: Endurance of Faith (Hebrews 12:3-29)

Hebrews calls us to endure opposition and appreciate the Lord’s discipline, meant to make us holy. He warns against self-deception and bitterness. Compares earthly Jerusalem to heavenly Zion, the City of God, and warns against rejecting the Messiah.

11. Let Us Trust: The Perspective of Faith (Hebrews 11:7-12:2)

Discusses how Abraham and Sarah illustrate faith, that obeys and goes, that lives by faith in God’s promises like aliens in a foreign land. The faith of the patriarchs, Moses, and many others serve to inspire us in faith – a great cloud of witnesses urging us to finish our race.

10. Let Us Believe: The Nature of Faith (Hebrews 11:1-6, 11)

Faith is described as the assurance of things not seen. Now the author illustrates faith from the lives of Abel, Enoch, and Noah. No one can please God without faith that (1) believes He exists and (2) that he rewards those who seek him.

9. Let Us Draw Near: Confidence of Faith (Hebrews 10:19-39)

The author calls us to draw near with confident prayer to the throne of grace. Includes exhortations to draw near to God, to hold on, and to continue fellowship with other believers.
