Hebrews 10:19-25 Entering The Holy Places
With this passage the author begins the practical portion of the letter. First, we need to understand that because of Christ we now have confidence to enter the holy places, to enter the presence of God. Nothing in Judaism can prepare a person for this privilege.
Hebrews 10:1-18 Sanctified, Once For All?
With this portion of the letter, the author brings the doctrinal portion to a close. He sims up the superiority of the Messiah over all things related to the “First” covenant; in doing so, he once again stress the “once for all” benefit to the believer from the work of the Messiah.
Hebrews 9:15-28 Our Eternal Inheritance
This portion of Scripture has enough material for a bunch of sermons. The relationship between the Old and new Covenants; the role of the Mediator/Messiah/High Priest and the believer, and the significance of our “eternal inheritance.”
Hebrews 9:6-14 Jesus the High Priest
Is Jesus a better High Priest? Why is that true? This is a very good study written by the author of Hebrews defending why Jesus is the Great High Priest.
Hebrews 9:1-5
This s a short sermon today. We introduce the author’s discussion about an earthly tabernacle, and give a very brief comparison to the Heavenly one. More to come next time.
Hebrews 8:1-13 The New Covenant
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.” Why the New Covenant, and why is it faultless? this is the subject in these verses.
Hebrews 7:1-28 Jesus Greater Than Melchizedek
Continuing in the vein of presenting Jesus as greater than all others, now the author considers the Priesthood of the mysterious Melchizedek. Here we learn about this mysterious priest, and How Jesus is greater.
Hebrews 6:9-20 A Word of Encouragement
After the warning in the previous verses that we looked at last week, the author now encourages them. Do not be sluggish, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. This is an interesting encouragement. Join us to hear the rest of the story.
Hebrews 6:4-8 Impossible to Repent
This passage of Scripture elicits a lot of disagreement among Bible Commentators. I will present my understanding of it, and the reason, in context, for my interpretation.
Hebrews 6:1-3 Beyond the Fundamentals
Why is it so important to get beyond the fundamentals of the faith? Why isn’t “just Judaism” (or the Old Testament) enough? In these few verses the author begins this discussion, and will continue it for a lengthy deliberation.
