Shaken! (Hebrews 12:18-29)
Through Christ, we have been brought into the kingdom of the living God, a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Because of Jesus’ high priestly work, we can approach God, not with fear, but with gratitude and in reverence and awe. Remember, our God is a consuming fire!

Don’t Grow Weary! (Hebrews 12:1-17)
The heroes of old mentioned in chapter 11, were ordinary men and women, just like us, but they dared to take God at His word.

Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11:17-40)
Life is hard. The Christian life in particular. How do we bear up under hardships and difficulties? How do we endure pain, suffering, and persecution?

It Is Finished! (Hebrews 10:1-18)
In chapter 10 of Hebrews, the writer continues to contrast the old covenant with the new.

A Superior Sacrifice (Hebrews 9:1-28)
In Hebrews 9, the author goes into greater detail about the old covenant’s earthly tabernacle, priesthood, and sacrifices. He contrasts it with the new covenant’s heavenly sanctuary, with Jesus priesthood, and with His sacrifice. He wants no doubt in his readers minds that we not only have a better sanctuary, covenant, and priest, but we have…

A Better Covenant (Hebrews 8:1-13)
What you don’t see, you don’t desire, but what we behold, we become! If we are to desire Christ and become more like Him, we need to see Jesus. Fortunately, the book of Hebrews paints a picture of Jesus like no other book in the NT.
