Hebrews: The Superiority of Christian Living (Chapters 12-13)

Hebrews: God's Hall of Faith (Chapter 10-11)

"This man, after he'd offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of the throne of God," Hebrews 10:12. Welcome to our study of the book of Hebrews. We want to encourage you to find your Bible and have it handy as we're going to be studying the word of God today on this wonderful subject of the majesty and supremacy of Christ and his covenant. Hebrews chapters one through seven, the whole point is the supremacy of Christ, and the writer clearly showed that. Hebrews eight through 10, the point is the supremacy of Christ's covenant. The writer is going to show very clearly that that covenant contains the greatest sacrifice ever, and it's the covenant that we're living under today.

Hebrews: Go On to Perfection (Chapters 5-6)

In Hebrews 7:14, the scripture says, "It is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood." Hebrews teaches us very clearly that Jesus is the ultimate priest because He is of the order of Melchizedek. Welcome to our study of the book of Hebrews, in which Hebrews exalts the majesty and the power of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. As always, we want to encourage you to locate your Bible, have it ready as we're going to be looking to the word of God today in our study of the book of Hebrews. In this lesson, we're thinking about Hebrews chapter five and Hebrews chapter seven. In our last lesson on Hebrews six, we noticed the writer encouraging these Christians, some who'd been members of the Lord's church for many years to not grow stagnant but rather to go on to perfection and keep progressing in their Christian faith. Now the argument for the greatness of Christ over the Levitical priesthood began in Hebrews chapter five, where he begins to talk about Christ and the lineage of the Levites and how He's so much greater than that priesthood because He's of the order of Melchizedek. He realized as part of the way through that, that these Christians aren't ready for that. They've grown stagnant and they're not ready to go into the meat of the word. And so, he stops to challenge them right in the midst of that argument. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Hebrews: An Introduction

"Beware brethren lest there be any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God, but exhort or encourage one another, while it is called today lest we be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin." The Hebrew writer in Hebrews 3:12-13, encourages fellow Christians with a Hebrew background to not give up on Christ and go back to the old way of life. As we think today about the book of Hebrews that encouragement is so powerful for every child of God, who has come out of a past life in sin, and all of us have, Romans 3:23. We must not go back and give up on Christ. Keep pressing forward go toward the prize, is the powerful message of the book of Hebrews. What is Hebrews all about? You must understand a little bit of the background, of what's going on to see the bigger picture, of the book of Hebrews. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)
