The writer to the Hebrews is showing how Jesus is greater than Jewish things one by one, first angels, then Moses, and now the Sabbath, in fact Jesus IS the Sabbath. Join David Alley as he reads Hebrews 4 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.

The Jews not only loved angels, but really loved Moses. So the writer to the Hebrews takes the time to compare Jesus and Moses in this interesting chapter. Join David Alley as he reads Hebrews 3 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.

The Jews were really into angels... there was even a branch of theology which was like angelology. But the writer to Hebrews lifts Jesus up above the angels in a profound way. Join David Alley as he reads Hebrews 2 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.

The book of Hebrews was a very touchy subject, and for that reason, the author has been kept anonymous by the Holy Spirit for our benefit. Why is this the case, and how is this beneficial for us today? Join David Alley as he reads Hebrews 1 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.

One of the BIG themes in the Bible is slavery, but its somewhat under the radar. But the story of redemption kicks off in a big way with the Lord delivering slaves out of Egypt. Jesus came to "set the captive free" and here we find the book of Philemon is a key part of demonstrating that God is on the side of freedom. Join David Alley as he reads Philemon and then discusses the chapter and these i...

There are thigns to watch out for... such as false teachers, and their approach which is controversial.

Join David Alley as he reads 2 Timothy 1 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
