Sermons on Hebrews (Page 3)
The New Covenant: Man Won’t, God Will
God promises to write his law onto the hearts of those in the new covenant. This is achieved through the new birth. Is this supernatural birth a reality in your life? Here we look at the difference between the new covenant and old covenant law. Following that we consider how God writes the law on human hearts and what that looks like.
The New Covenant: Not Like the Old
The first in a five part series looking at the new covenant and its superiority over the old covenant. The first thing we see is that the new covenant is not like the old. It is not another administration of the same covenant, but an entirely new covenant. New law, new mediator, new sacrifice, new priest, and effective because God will accomplish the rescue of his people through Christ.
Jesus: Better Priest, Better Mediator
Nothing can be more relevant for us today than to consider the eternal high priest, Jesus Christ. Jesus is sinless, offers the perfect sacrifice, and does his priestly ministry in the very presence of the Father. Why would we look anywhere else for getting right with God? See in Jesus your greatness need fulfilled.
Jesus: Our Eternal High Priest
Jesus “is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” This profound truth is unpacked and applied to bring us sweet hope and encouragement.
Christ: The Sure and Steady Anchor
Are you weary? Are you feeling stressed and under pressure? What we see in this passage is a call to endurance with the truths of Christ that will strengthen us by his grace! NOTE: There was a problem recording the video so only the audio is available!
Warning Against Apostasy
There is a great consequence to knowing of Christ and forsaking him. This is the warning passage of all warning passages. Let us press on to maturity and not be in danger of being those who hear but who do not enter into God’s promised rest by clinging to Christ in faith. May God use this warning to strengthen your commitment to him.
Underachievers
What does it mean to be “dull of hearing”? How do you know if you are? And what should you do about it? Let us not be an underachiever, but let us push on to maturity! Here we examine the marks of one who hears but doesn’t hear well enough for faith and obedience to be the fruit of that hearing. May this challenge and encourage us all to grow into better followers of Jesus Christ.
Christ: Our Great High Priest
What is our motivation in prayer? Is it a certain method? No. Rather it is a person. It is seeing Christ as our great high priest that compels us to come to the throne of grace in a time of need. Our confidence in prayer is not in our method or the words we say but in whom we turn to for help.
Strive to Enter the Rest
What is God’s rest? How do I enter it? We tackle these questions as many others as we consider again a great warning in the midst of great hope and great urgency. Here is a call to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Do Not Harden Your Hearts
In this sermon we look together at a warning not to have a hard heart. But what does a hard heart look like? The text gives us six different attributes of a rebellious heart as we’re called to watch ourselves and others from falling into the deceitfulness of sin. May God use this warning to keep his saints secure and bring repentance where needed.
Christ: Superior to Moses
As followers of Christ we must stay faithful to our calling. How can we do this in our families, at work, or in the public square? We consider Christ. This sermon unpacks this text of Scripture and the faithfulness of Jesus before considering real-world examples and the biblical truth that sets us free to follow Christ. May God give us grace to cling to him in times of adversity and temptation to quit.
True Solidarity
Expressions of solidarity are common in our age of terrorism. “We stand with you” is an oft repeated slogan that is little more than words said and gone. When Christ stands with you in solidarity it means the destruction of death, victory over the devil, forgiveness of sins and access to the Father, and the assurance that you will inherit eternal life! When Christ says, “I stand with you!” it means something!
