Big Idea - Everyone has faith in something and our faith touches every part of life. One of the most significant ways that faith impacts our life is that it determines how we make choices. How then, does faith in God, faith that sees the unseen, causes us to make very different choices in life? True faith is seeing the invisible God all around us, near us, and with us in every part of life. When w...

Faith might be a somewhat abstract and vague concept by definition, but it can, nonetheless, be measured. It can be put to the test and God does just that in the lives who are seeking Him by faith.

Big Idea - Hebrews 11 starts of with the profound but somewhat description of faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” But, what exactly is the hope that we are so convinced of, and what the things not seen that faith enables us to see and to seek?

Summary - In recent times we have come to place a high value on genuineness, and transparency, and being real. This is a good thing no doubt. But it has an interesting side effect in that Christians, now, become almost proud of their sin and brokenness. In fact, if one speaks of pursuing a life of Holiness in Christ likeness, they are looked at as being in genuine or hypocritical. The assumption i...

How should we measure maturity? The letter of Hebrews was written because the author felt his readers were immature - still needing milk, when they should be eating the meat of the Word! Thus, the book is about how to grow up and be mature in Christ. So, how do we measure or think about maturity? Are you mature in Christ? Are you still needing milk? Or are you feasting daily on the meat of the Wor...

Big Idea - So what are we to do with all this great theology about Jesus and His blood? The profound teaching on who Jesus is and what He has accomplished for us that we have been surveying for the past few weeks. The first, and most significant answer, which really is perhaps the main point of the entire sermon is that we are to draw near to God by understanding what God has done to make it possi...

The sacrificial system had been a part of the worship of the Jews since the time of Moses, and was given to him by the very word of God. How could Christians claim that essentially everything about the worship in the temple was no longer necessary, and in fact had come to an end? Such a radical change in worship! The writer of Hebrews argues that the law was only a hint of the real thing, but Jesu...

Big Idea - We often sing songs about the blood of Jesus and we know His blood shed on the cross is vital for our salvation, but how does it work? What makes Jesus blood so effective in cleansing us from sin? And to what end is His blood effective as it is applied to our life? Truly, we think too little of the blood and understand too little of why it is effective and what it can accomplish in our...

How is the New Covenant better than the old? It is better because it has a better guarantee, and results in a better salvation, because it is implemented by the perfect son who is a better priest that offered a better sacrifice.

What are the benefits of an eternal High priest based on an indestructible life? What does Jesus high priesthood accomplish for us, make available for us? The last warning passage, may make us feel that we are on very shaky ground with God, but if there is any reason to worry it is not because God has not done everything possible to ensure that we can live our life with complete confidence of our...

Why is there a need for a new kind of priest? Since Jesus fulfilled all the requirements of the Levitical priesthood once and for all, do we really need a priest at all? The Levitical priesthood and the law of Moses could not make anyone prefect - they were only a picture of what the true sacrifice would accomplish for us. It all pointed to what Jesus would accomplish on the Cross. Jesus did fulfi...

In our journey through the book of Hebrews we come now to the most challenging passage in the entire book. Some claim that it is the most difficult passage in all the New Testament. Here is the main difficulty. The author is clearly writing his sermon to believers. He is deeply concerned about them, not because they are not saved, rather, because they have actually been Christians a long time but...

What will happen when we experience the resurrection? On that day when we are raised from the dead and given a whole new body? Or, if we should be so lucky as to skip death altogether and just go straight to the rapture and a new body? How will the resurrection change us, or will it? How we answer that question is extremely important, because it tells us how we are to relate to Jesus! Who is Jesus...
