Sermons on Hebrews (Page 4)

Suffering, Death, and Glory

The world to come will be ruled by righteousness, sin and death will be no more. We don’t see this now, but we do see Christ. It is what we see in Christ that gives us great hope in what we don’t see. In times of suffering we see Christ and we see his love, his power, and the surety of his future victory. Let us together, look to Christ!

Hearing Is Not Enough

Here we see the first warning in this letter. We are warned that if we simply hear but do not cling to Jesus and to the gospel we should expect judgment. At the same time we are warned in judgment, we are reminded of why it is foolish not to follow Christ and treasure his great salvation. May this warning serve to keep the elect secure in Christ.

Christ: Superior to Angels (Part 2)

After finishing the comparison between Christ and the angels, this sermon presses home why such a comparison is necessary and how important it is to see Christ exalted as Sovereign Lord and King. We are all serving a kingdom, the question is, which one? What we see here in this text is the joy of following and submitting to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ: Superior to Angels (Part 1)

Christ is presented as far superior to angels so that we would not forsake him and take refuge in him. In this text we see that angels are God’s servants but Christ is God’s Son. Angels are made to worship and Christ is the object of their worship.

The Glory of God in His Son

This sermon compares the greatness of Jesus to the prevailing views of our society today. Each description of Jesus causes us to marvel and keeps us from being enticed by the vanity of the world. In Jesus we have everything, apart from him we have nothing. May God grant you sight to see the infinite treasure that God is for us through the Son.

The Speaking God

God dispels the myriad of opinions about himself by speaking. He speaks most preeminently through his Son. In this sermon we get some examples of Christ’s superior revelation of God so that we would know him and love him.

The New Covenant in His Blood

What did Jesus mean when he raised his cup at the last supper and said, “This is the new covenant in my blood”? There are wonderful realities when we consider the new covenant!

The Cost: Christ’s Atonement (Part 2)

This is the conclusion of the message dealing with the atonement of Jesus Christ. We search the Scriptures to seek the answer to the question: What did Christ’s atonement achieve? In part two we look at common passages cited in objection to a definite and powerful atonement.

Elders and the Congregation in Concert

How are you going to obey the words of God, “Obey your leaders and submit to them”? We must understand this text, the relationship between elders and the congregation, if we are going to see us grow together as a church. God has put order into his creation and into his church. May we humbly be counter-cultural by heeding this word and submitting to God-given authority.
