Hebrews 13:1-3

2021-03-10T12:58:52-05:00March 2nd, 2021|Hebrews|

Coming to Chapter 13, the writer of Hebrews moves us from the theological to the practical; the vertical to the horizontal; from revelation to response. The Bible teaches that in order to enjoy right horizontal relationships with people, we must first have a right vertical relationship with God. And having described for [...]

Things begin to really heat up this week as the writer of Hebrews brings the theological section of this weighty epistle to a close. One of the most grave deficiencies that ought to be a real cause for concern in the American Church today, is her impoverished understanding of the Holiness of [...]

The writer of Hebrews sets out to broaden our spiritual range by taking us all the way back to that violent explosive day the law was given to the people of God at the base of Mount Sinai.  And then from Sinai all the way to Zion, the inspired writer sets out [...]

Hebrews 12:12-17

The writer of Hebrews exhorts strong believers to help encourage and direct their weaker brothers and sisters in running the race God has set before them.

If we are going to run with endurance the race God has called us to run, then we must have a proper theology of human suffering. God does not “use” our difficulties; God does not “turn” our difficulties around – and to speak as such is to make God a passive observer [...]

Hebrews 12:1-2

As we close out our study of Hebrews Chapter 11, the writer of Hebrews gives us a radically different perspective upon the days that we are living in, than that which we’ve so despairingly held to over these past several months. Considering that the Bible says our citizenship is in Heaven, we [...]

The writer of Hebrews calls Joshua, Rahab and the children of Israel to the stand to testify how the people of God come into the land of Promise – that the Lord has for ALL believers to experience THIS side of the resurrection. As Israel finally comes to the edge of the [...]
