Hebrews 12:3-13

An essential part of the Christian's life includes periods of affliction, darkness, trial and trouble, for it is these times that build our character, strengthen our faith, and prepare us to help others. Listen as Eric Alexander shares from Hebrews 12 about how we are to view our sufferings on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 11:39-12:2

Building upon the illustrations of faith in Chapter 11 in which God's people were called to continue in faith despite tremendous obstacles, the writer of Hebrews now encourages the followers of Christ to run with perseverance the race set before them. Listen to Hear the Word of God as Rev. Alexander encourages believers to keep on, fixing their eyes on Jesus who will take them to the end.

Hebrews 11:26-39

So often faith runs counter to worldly wisdom. But faith takes its stand on what God has said and rests on His provision and His plan. Eric Alexander points to the Old Testament examples of Moses, Noah, Joshua and Rahab, each of whom found that the life of faith was really a fight of faith, one that needed to be fought with God's weapons, today on Hear the Word of God. 

Hebrews 11:1-25

Chapter 11 is perhaps the most well-known in the book of Hebrews, often referred to as The Hall of Faith. But it is much more than God's picture gallery of men of faith; rather, it is a series of Biblical illustrations of faith working under fire. Listen as Eric Alexander encourages believers to follow Abraham's example of limitless trust in God and His promises on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 10:26-39

There is a sanctifying power in encouragement, and there is a sanctifying power in the fear of the living God. After the threefold appeal and exhortation in the earlier verses of chapter 10, the apostle returns to a note of warning, the fourth of the five warning passages in the Epistle to the Hebrews. This particular warning which we come to in chapter 10, verse 26, is about the willful, persistent, deliberate, and conscious turning of one's back upon God. Listen as Rev. Alexander carefully takes us through these verses, encouraging us in our faith and weaknesses and reminding us not to shrink back.

Hebrews 10:19-27

Our Great High Priest has given us access to the presence of God. Not with a fearful, uncertain, wavering entry into the presence of God, but a holy boldness to enter by His blood. That is a glorious privilege for the children of God, and our Christian duty begins with drawing near to God. While that is our primary duty, Eric Alexander points out we also have a duty to confess our hope before the world and to stir one another up to love and good works. Listen this week to Hear the Word of God and find encouragement to rest in the finished work of Christ.

Hebrews 10

The Epistle to the Hebrews helps us to understand the relationship between the Old Testament and the New. It's a relationship not only of promise to fulfillment but it's also a relationship of shadow to reality. In this episode of Hear the Word of God, Eric Alexander guides us from the shadows to the reality—the person and work of the incarnate Son of God.

Hebrews 9

Chapter 9 of Hebrews contrasts the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, which took place in a Tabernacle built by men, with the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, as he offered up His flesh and blood. Eric Alexander shares the abundant grace and mercy that our ours as we boldly approach the throne of grace on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 8

Difficult circumstances and opposition caused Jewish believers in the early church to become weak and waver in their faith. Isn't the same thing true for many Christians today? Listen as Eric Alexander exhorts us from Hebrews 8 to rediscover the surpassing worth of the Lord Jesus Christ as our only mediator between God and men on Hear the Word of God.

Hebrews 7

It is evident from Scripture that Jesus is from the tribe of Judah; how therefore does He come to be the supreme and perfect High Priest? This week on Hear the Word of God, Eric Alexander helps us answer that question. As the writer of Hebrews explains, God promised a different order of priesthood, not a fleshly order, not an order that belongs to the law, but the order that belongs to a new covenant, the covenant of grace, of whom Melchizedek is the shadow, and Jesus is a reality. We have a great High Priest who is holy, guileless, undefiled, and who intercedes for His people. Praise God!
