Developing and living out strong convictions are exemplified for us by Daniel’s experience and decision making in Babylon. Here are three choices he made that we should make, too. 1.

Jesus is superior in every way. He is superior to the angels as seen in these four ways. He has a superior name. He is the Son. They are worshippers. (v.4-7) He has a superior position. He is King. They are servants. (v.8-9) He has a superior origin. He is Creator. They are created. (v.10-12) He has a superior role. He is Ruler. They are ministers. (v.13-14)

You can experience transformation through the rest that only God can give. Here are three keys to experiencing God’s rest. You need to know what God’s rest is. You need to know how to access God’s rest. You need to pursue God’s rest.

The Word of God is essential in bringing us into God’s rest and transforming us because it is the only resource that can accurately embody these three descriptions. The Word of God is transforming because it is alive. v. 9-12 The Word of God is transforming because it is powerful. v. 12 The Word of God is transforming because it is discerning. v. 12-13

You should use your access to God every day through Jesus Christ. You should do this because Jesus Christ gives us incredible access to God for three reasons. Keywords: ReasonsPoints: His position. His perfection. His provision.

(5:11-6:3) This progress does not affect salvation. (6:4-6) This progress results in fruitfulness. (6:7-10) This...

Living in the light of the person and promises of God gives us the ability to live with assurance for 4 reasons.1. Because of God’s record of promise keeping. (v. 11-15)2. Because God's character is unchanging. (v.16-17)3. Because God's promise is made to us. (v.19a)4. Because God's Son is representing us. (v.19b-20)

We can better understand and respond to Jesus as our Greater High Priest after answering these three questions:Question #1- Who was Melchisedec? (v.1-3; Genesis 13:8-11 , 14:14-21 )Question #2- What is the significance of Melchisedec’s titles? (v.2)Question #3- What is the significance of Melchisedec’s tithes? (v.3-10)

We can live a life of incredible intimacy with God and victory from Him by living according to the truth that Christ is our better High Priest. He is the minister of a better tabernacle (v.1-5). He is the Mediator of a better testament. (v.6-13).

The tabernacle in the Old Testament shows ho much that Jesus is greater. We can see this in three observations described in Hebrews 9:1-14. The tabernacle in the Old Testament points us to the existence of the real dwelling of God.

People who are "in Christ" can have confidence about our eternal, spiritual, and heavenly inheritance because of two features of the New Testament. In Hebrews 9:15-23 we see how the New Testament, or the will, is mediated and validated.
