Years ago I was at a denominational national meeting and they asked all the pastors to sign commitment cards stating that we would not look at pornography. I didn’t sign the card because as a born again believer I have no desire to look at pornography. And even if I did, the power to stop would not come from my commitment, but from the blood of Jesus Christ. Too often in religion we are guilty of making sacraments out of […]

When someone calls me on my cell phone when I’m driving my truck down the highway, I often have to ask them to repeat what they just said. I know I’m getting older and my hearing is probably not as good as it used to be, but there are other factors at work in such situations. There is the highway noise from those big tires on my truck and the engine noise from its sporty exhaust system. Together, they make […]

Playwright George Bernard Shaw once angrily attacked fundamental Christianity by saying, “It is saturated with the ancient – and to me quite infernal – superstition of atonement by blood sacrifice, which I believe Christianity must completely get rid of, if it is to survive among thoughtful people” (Our Daily Bread, 08/79). Sorry to tell you George, but Christianity cannot survive without the atonement of blood sacrifice. Because, as we will learn in our text today in Hebrews, “without the shedding […]

Paul speaking of the Mosaic Law in Colossians 2 said that “these things are a shadow of which the substance is Christ.” (By substance, he meant the thing casting the shadow.) In today’s lesson we will be taking a look at the layout of the Jewish tabernacle (click the “download pdf” button to view), and we will learn how it serves as a shadow of the substance of Jesus Christ. Not only that, we can use the layout of the […]

In 1903, the newly installed Russian Czar was looking out a palace window when he noticed a sentry posted at the extreme end of the palace garden. He told the officer in charge to find out what the soldier was doing there. When the officer asked the soldier, his only response was that he was just doing what he had been ordered to do for years. When the officer researched the post, he found that Catherine the Great had originally […]

In chapter seven of Hebrews, the author is going to show us that Jesus is our great High Priest. He is much more than just the fulfillment of the Levitical Priesthood. He is a high priest forever according to the order of Melchezedek. “So what?” someone might ask. Let me let Samuel RIdout answer that question for you: “Once let Christ be apprehended, once let the beauty of His character as our Priest and the blessedness of the place into […]

In 2011, a California man devised a method of hunting ducks whereby he anchored a large barrel just off the coastline and hid in it until the ducks flew by. One evening, he was so busy shooting ducks as they flew ashore that he didn’t notice that his anchor had broke. Before he realized what had happened the barrel he was in had floated out to sea. About that time a dense fog rolled in with the darkness and the […]
