The priests of old were many, because death prevented them from continuing. But Jesus holds His priesthood forever.

What makes His priesthood different, and why does it matter for us?

In this episode, we continue through Hebrews in Hebrews 7:1-28

We continue through Hebrews with a sobering warning and a strong encouragement. We are called to not become sluggish, but to press on in faith and patience–holding fast to the hope set before us.

In this episode, we continue through Hebrews in Hebrews 5:11-6:20

Because He has passes through the heavens and knows our weaknesses, we are called to hold fast our confession and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace.

In this episode, we continue through Hebrews in Hebrews 4:14-5:10

The promise of God's rest still stands. So Hebrews calls us to hear His voice, respond in faith, and strive to enter the rest God has prepared for His people.

In this episode, we continue through Hebrews in Hebrews 4:1-13

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts”

God’s promise of rest still stands. How will we respond to His voice? In this episode, we hear the call to trust God, encourage one another, and hold firmly to Christ.

The Son became like us so that He might lead us into the glory God intended for humanity. In this episode, we see Jesus, the crowned Son who brings many sons to glory.

Part 1 showed that God's speech in the Son makes Him greater than the angels. In this episode, we see how God's speech to and about the Son reveals His greatness – and why we must all the more pay attention to Him.

In this opening sermon from Hebrews, we begin by getting our bearings in the book before turning to Hebrews 1:1–3 and its sevenfold description of Christ: heir of all things, Creator, radiance of God’s glory, exact representation of His nature, sustainer of all things, purifier of sins, and the enthroned King.

Hebrews begins by lifting our eyes to the greatness of the Son. Before it calls us to endure, hold fast, and draw near, it first shows us who Jesus is.

As we conclude The Better Sacrifice, we will explore The Day of Atonement—the great day of cleansing in Israel's calendar—and how it points to the greater High Priest and the greater access provided by God in Christ.

What happens when sin does not merely leave guilt behind, but real damage? The guilt offering shows us that God’s forgiveness does not ignore what sin has broken. 

We continue The Better Sacrifice, considering the guilt offering and how it points us to Jesus Christ—the One who restores what our sin has ruined and brings us back into fellowship with God.
