Chapter 13: This amazing book concludes with lots of pastoral instructions on how to practically run this race. The possibility of having angels in our homes, seated at our table; the encouragement to keep offering up praise to God continually, whilst living sacrificially, and many more.

Chapter 12: Strip down, shape up and run! This chapter begins with a powerful image of running a race, or engaging in an athletic contest. We find ourselves in the same race as the heroes of faith from chapter 11. It finishes with a comparison of the awe-inspiring environment of the old covenant to the glorious and vastly better covenant mediated by Jesus.

Chapter 11 This chapter is the definitive text on faith. We have some hugely important definitions and one-liners, woven in with stories of some of the great Old Testament heroes of faith. This is a chapter to read and re-read, reflect on and commit to memory!

Chapter 10 This chapter is a serious but massively encouraging boost to the reader to not be tempted to return back to something that simply cannot save! To those living at the time of writing, experiencing extreme persecution and pressure to return to the sacrificial practices of Judaism, or to those living now, the message is the same.

Chapter 9 part 1: We are given a quick summary of the physical environment of the tabernacle - the holy tent built by Moses in he wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. We discover that all of the rituals that had occupied the priests, Levites and indeed the whole nation, were only shadows of a far greater reality.

Chapter 8: We see that Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant - the Old Covenant, the Levitical priesthood, the temple, all are declared obsolete. These things were shadows of a much greater reality. This is a strong word from the writer to the Hebrews!

Chapter 7: The mystery writer of this book now introduces us to the Old Testament mystery character, Melchizedek. His background and parentage is unknown and his death is never recorded. He seems to prefigure Jesus in some ways, but the most important issue in this chapter is the replacement of the Hebrew priesthood. This is radical!

Chapter 6: This chapter continues in the vein of not drifting away from our hope, or allowing our heart to become hardened to God's voice, but also contains a very sober warning. Many hours of discussion have been sparked by these verses!
