The Book of Hebrews
The Piercing Gaze of God
Hebrews 4:11-13 Hebrews 4:11 to 13, and this comes after that section on entering into his rest. And then he says this, “Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of…
The Rest God Promised
Hebrews 4:4-10 We’re going to start in Matthew Chapter 11, but we are returning to Hebrews chapter 4, learning about this concept of entering into God’s rest. And I want to begin with this invitation from Jesus out of Matthew 11:28. And this is one of the most familiar, favorite sayings of Jesus, when he extended a gracious invitation to all of us. “Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.…

A Daily Christian Duty

He’s needing to alert his congregation to the danger of a drift that he is seeing in some of his folks who are leaving the Christian church to return back to the Jewish synagogues. We’ve…
The Danger of a Hard Heart
Hebrews 3:7-12 All right, so turn in your Bibles to Hebrews chapter 3, we’ve spent some time in the beginning of this chapter. We’re going to move ahead a little bit, but we’ve seen so far in Hebrews chapter 3 that the pastor who is writing this word of exhortation, he compares Jesus and Moses. It was a fascinating section. I’d love to spend more time there, but we’re going to keep moving. But after he does that comparison, contrast…
Hold Fast to Christ
Hebrews 3:1-6 Hebrews chapter 3, please turn over there for what we’re going to see in this section from verses 1 to 6. This is the pastor comparing and contrasting Jesus with Moses, a couple of points of comparison. And as the pastor goes through and compares Jesus with Moses, you understand that what he’s essentially driving at in this section is to turn his people away from going back to Moses, so to speak, back to the synagogue and…
