Let God Speak

Paul’s letter to the Hebrews was intended to inspire and encourage the Hebrew readers with their faith in Jesus while they were experiencing persecution. Paul characterized the work of Jesus for us as “brotherly love.” Thus, believers should do for one another what Jesus has done for us. As we close our study on the book of Hebrews, we are going to look at Paul’s concluding remarks in Hebrews 13,...

This week we are looking at the climax of Hebrews 12. Historically we connect verses 18-29 with Exodus 19 (the assembling of Israel at Mt Sinai for the giving of the Law). But they are also relevant to us today—especially the appeal to Godly living. Please join us with open Bibles as we jump into this important study.

Martin Luther King Jr said “Faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole staircase.” But, you still need some fledgling faith on which to base your belief that your first step is going to land on the stair. Our faith, too, must be based upon some evidence and not be ‘blind’ faith. Hebrews 11 describes faith as confidence in God’s promises, even if we cannot yet see their fulfi...

Many people think Jesus’ mission was solely to die on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins, there is emphasis placed only on His death. As marvellous and incredible as that act of love is, the Book of Hebrews explains that His mission involves so much more. This study will discuss Jesus as the fulfillment of the yearly feasts and sanctuary services, and will also look at Jesus’ current work on...

Hebrews conveys the message that it was necessary for Jesus to die in our place for us to be saved, as “without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” (Hebrews 9:22). Today’s study will look at Jesus’ role in the shedding of blood, and how that connects with God’s covenant. That will require us touching on the Jewish temple sacrifices, the priesthood of Jesus, and what they all mean f...

In Old Testament times, God made covenants or agreements with individuals and with the nation Israel. In our discussion today, we hope to discover that Jesus Christ was not only a better sacrifice, but the Author of a better covenant too. I invite you to open your Bible, find the letter to The Hebrews, and prepare to learn about Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant. Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Gue...

In Hebrews 5 and 6, Paul admonishes his audience because they are feeding upon the milk of the Bible, he says it would benefit them to migrate to the more solid food of God’s word. Those who do this find their senses awakened to more accurately discern between both good and evil (see Hebrews 5:14). The texts we will look at today could be considered a warning against ‘the dangers of not progressin...

In our previous study, the topic “Jesus the giver of rest” was introduced. Today we will discuss another of Jesus Christ’s significant roles. In the letter to the Hebrews, Jesus is portrayed as our faithful high priest, He wants to plead the merits of His sacrifice on your behalf and mine. So open your Bibles with us as we find out more about our heavenly high priest. Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Gues...

In many countries around the world, the mental health services are stretched to their limits as people grapple with their fears concerning everything that is happening in the world. Threats from terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, wars, political unrest, and more are highlighted daily by the media, yet amidst all these troubles, lasting rest is available to us.

The book of Hebrews describes Jesus as the Sovereign Creator, the Divine Lord, and truly God. Yet Hebrews also describes Jesus as fully human, our merciful redeemer, and our brother. Jesus is our faithful High Priest in Heaven, today we will to discuss why Jesus became fully human, and what it means that Jesus, who is truly God, is also truly our brother.

When Jesus first came to this earth as the Son of God, He performed several important functions: He fulfilled many earlier promises God had made to the Human race, while revealing more of the Father’s character to the world. Our Bible study today will look into these. Hosted by: Blair Lemke Guests: Rosemary Malkiewycz & Dr Allen Sonter Download the study notes at this link:  www.3abnaustralia....

Today’s episode begins a new series examining the New Testament book of Hebrews. Bible writers were inspired with messages for their time, but God also sent these truths for the benefit of people in subsequent generations. Sometimes I wish we had a photograph taken — or a portrait painted — of Jesus from when He was here on earth. Thankfully, we were given a written picture of Jesus. As we open ou...

Today we conclude our series looking at the Book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy means “second law,” and it contains a series of appeals Moses gave the Israelites as they approached the borders of the promised land. In essence Moses says: “You are finally about to enter the Promised Land! Once you do, don’t forget what the Lord has done for you, nor what He asks of you now — to love Him with all your...

While some Christians believe the Old Testament no longer has any authority or relevance, Jesus (and other inspired writers of the New Testament) used the Jewish Scriptures as an authority in their life, their actions, and their teachings. In this way they affirmed what Mark recorded: “the Scriptures must be fulfilled” (Mark 14:49). The Old Testament was quoted, alluded to, and referenced by the G...

The Bible is a special book. Although it contains 66 separate books, written by 40 authors over 1500 years, who were situated on three separate continents and spoke three different languages, it is incredibly interconnected. Today’s study will specifically look at Deuteronomy’s connections with other books of the Bible. Hosted by: Blair Lemke Guests: Pr John Kosmeier & Pr Harold Harker Downloa...

How good is your memory? People often say they have a poor memory for people’s names. For some of us, painful events from the past are hidden away in a corner never to be visited again. God however wants us to remember some everlasting truths. In today’s study, we will look at some events that are worth remembering. Take your Bible and come join us as we begin.

New–born babies are just so adorable! All of their gestures and gurgling sounds are so incredibly cute. And when they look up at you, smile, and reach out their little hands to you, you can’t stop your heart from melting. Looking at them can, however, cause us to stop and think; "Could these lovely little bundles of joy really start off life as sinners? Was Adam and Eve’s original sin really passe...

None of us asked to be here, did we. Neither did we choose where or when we were born, or who our parents would be. We do, however, get to choose whether we want to continue living forever—which is something God provides on the terms that He, the Giver and Sustainer of life, has graciously offered us through Jesus’ sacrifice. We can live eternally on God’s terms, or we can live life temporarily on...

The relationship between God’s law and God’s grace is often discussed. While sometimes incorrectly set in opposition to one another, rightly understood both concepts work together and are involved in God’s plan of redemption. Our Bible study today will investigate this.

Last week, we learned that we are to love God and our neighbours. This includes the poor, the weak, the outcast and the stranger. Today we will continue to discuss themes from the book of Deuteronomy, we will discover that Israel were supposed to learn from their history—and that’s a good lesson for Christians today. So, take your Bibles and join with us as we begin . Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Gues...

Have you ever let someone down badly? What is the best way they could have responded to you? If they gave you a second chance, did they ever tell you they wanted it to be an opportunity to make a positive difference in the world?

In the Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures, the word “love” appears mostly in the book of Deuteronomy and in the book ‘Song of Solomon.’ Deuteronomy is essentially about covenant—that is, the relationship between God and His people. Love is an important theme of that book. This lesson will examine a key element of what Moses said to the people: “to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with...

When we say, “Nothing lasts forever” the perspective from which we are speaking is influenced by our mortality. Most of the things we see, use, or make wear out. Only God is eternal, only He can make things that are everlasting—such as His covenant with fallen sinful humanity. Today we will look at this everlasting covenant through the biblical pages of Deuteronomy. So take your Bible and join us...

This quarter looks at ‘Present Truth in the Book of Deuteronomy,’ and today we will focus upon Moses, and the foundation and beginning of the 5th book of the Pentateuch—which is the book of Deuteronomy. Our lesson today is entitled ‘Moses’ history lesson,’ we will use a thematic approach to this study—which means that we will use other Old and New Testament books of the Bible to establish importan...
