Hebrews / There will be many difficulties in one’s life of faith. Only as we run the race according to Scripture will we finish strong in the faith
Hebrews / Through divine chastening comes spiritual growth that results in maturity for us and glory for God
Hebrews / We have been armed with abundant witnesses and incentive to live a life of faith, if we diligently gaze upon the One who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus of Nazareth!
Hebrews / God’s people, in all ages, exercised faith (trust) in Him, resulting in sometimes great victories, while at other times, terrible physical losses. However, the one constant was their faith in God.
The sure hope of Christ’s bodily resurrection permeates both the OT and NT Scriptures. As NT believers today, we celebrate the truth that “Christ” arose on the third day, after His crucifixion. Death has been conquered.
Hebrews / Even Moses, the great Law-giver of Israel, recognized that a life pleasing to God meant one must live “by faith!”
Hebrews / Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph each demonstrated trust in the true and living God and what He promised for them individually and God’s people corporately.
Hebrews / The days in which we live are the good old days for us. This is the appointed time for each of us to learn and appreciate what it means to live by faith.
Hebrews / A consideration of what biblical faith is and why it has always mattered
Hebrews / To avoid apostasy, thoughtfully remember the beginning of your testimony determine to remain steadfast until the Lord returns
For NT believers, there is no turning back to the old ways, despite hardships or trials, thus making us examples of followers of Christ

Hebrews / Because of the work of Christ, in which we confidently trust, which gives us access to God Himself, we must draw near, hold fast, and consider one another, stimulating the brethren to love and good works.
Hebrews / Only by faith in the shed blood of Christ on the cross can any sinner ever be forgiven and reconciled to God
Hebrews / The Once for all sacrifice of Christ’s shed blood is the only hope of forgiveness for anyone, ever
Hebrews / Christ’s blood is the only means of forgiveness. Nothing else is possible to forgive sin
Hebrews / A reminder of the temporary work offered under the Old Covenant in the period of the tabernacle
The very name Jesus means salvation and is obvious throughout the text of even the OT.
Baptism of only believers is a matter of obedience in the Christian Life
Hebrew / Christ’s priesthood is never-ending, thus it exceeds the Aaronic order in its availability and scope
The Ordinance of Baptism / The Necessity & importance of Water Baptism for the believer
Hebrews / The superiority of the order of Melchisedec’s priesthood over the Aaronic order
The Reality and importance of God’s Word being without error, wholly true.
Christ died as the Substitute in place, and on behalf of sinners
Studies in Hebrews / Salvation is sure and certain because of the immutable character of the God who saves
