Due to the coronavirus and school closures, we covered the last two chapters of Hebrews in a single lesson!

Hebrews 12 & 13

In this lesson we look at one of the most famous chapters in the Bible, Heb. 11, the "Hall of Faith." The author of Hebrews wants to show us by example what true faith is and how it is lived out.

The Assurance of Things Hoped For

In this lesson we see the author of Hebrews change course somewhat. After spending ten and a half chapters engaged in theological exposition, he now turns to application: how now should we live in light of these truths? In Heb. 10:19-39, he begins with an exhortation to draw near but then offers a serious and sober warning.

Let Us Draw Near

Today's lesson focuses on Heb. 10:1-18. The author of Hebrews wraps up his exploration of the superiority of Christ in this chapter and will then turn to the application of these glorious truths in the final chapters of the letter. We discuss the Incarnation of Christ and why it is crucial to the sufficiency of Christ's work on our behalf.

A Single Sacrifice

Today's lesson covers Heb. 9:15-18. We discuss many familiar themes as the author continues to assert the superiority of Jesus' sacrifice. It is appointed for us all to die and after that comes judgment; where then is our hope and our security? It is in the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ who put away sin forever, glory to God!

Once for All

 In Heb. 9:1-14, the author turns to the physical aspects of the tabernacle itself, showing Jesus's sacrifice as superior, concluding that the blood of Christ is "able to purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God"--what good news! 

By Means of His Own Blood

In Heb. 8, the author continues his assertion of the superiority of Jesus, declaring that this high priest is "seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven." His ministry is "much more excellent" and w explore why!

Much More Excellent

In Heb. 7:18-28 the author continues his argument for the superiority of Jesus and His eternal priesthood. It is indeed fitting that we have such a high priest!

Able to Save to the Uttermost

We resume our study of Hebrews by discussing Heb. 7:1-17 and the mysterious figure of Melchizedek. Who was he and what does it mean that Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek and does it make any difference in our lives?

The Power of an Indestructible Life

Heb. 5:11-6:20 contain some of the most difficult passages of Scripture. The author issues an indictment as well as a warning about the dangers of immaturity in the faith.

Go On To Maturity

In Heb. 4:14-5:10, the author of Hebrews returns to the theme of Jesus as our great high priest. He contrasts the priesthood of Christ with that of the OT sacrificial system and encourages his readers to draw near to throne of grace.

A Great High Priest

In Heb. 4:1-13, the author continues his exhortation he began in chapter 3 about the danger of hardening your heart in disbelief. The consequence? Failure to enter the rest of God. We will finish up our lesson discussing the living and active Word of God--such an appropriate text the Tuesday before Reformation Day!

Living and Active

Today's lesson from Heb. 3:7-19 warns of hard heartedness, using the example of the Israelites in the wilderness as a sober reminder of hard hearts leading to rebellion and disobedience. The author warns his readers to take care and to exhort one another daily as we hold fast to our original confession.

Take Care

In Heb. 3:1-6, the author commands his readers to "consider Jesus." In order to demonstrate the faithfulness of Jesus and the worthiness of Jesus to receive more glory, he contrasts Jesus and Moses, showing once again the superiority of Christ. 

Worthy of More Glory

In Heb. 2:10-18, the author emphasizes Jesus' Incarnation, asserting that as One who is flesh and blood just like we are, He is therefore the perfect High Priest. As our High Priest, He is able to help because He knows and understands our struggles.
