Hebrews Pt 15: Why We Need a Great High Priest

/

Why do we need a Great High Priest? Four chapters in Hebrews are dedicated to this important subject. The Bible is full of talk about priests. But what does this have to do with us? Everything! In this podcast:

  • We identify our greatest needs and how they are fully met by Jesus, our Great High Priest.
  • We learn about the significance of Melchizedek, the Priest King and how this one identified as “King of Righteousness” and “King of Peace” points to Jesus our Great High Priest, the Source of real righteousness and peace.

Hebrews Pt 14: All Based on God’s Faithfulness (Hebrews 6, pt 3)

/

How is that so many Christians either think they can “lose their salvation” or have doubts about the future? Often, it’s because they base their Christian life on their own performance (up and down), rather than on God Himself, His faithfulness and His performance for us.

In this podcast, our study of Hebrews continues in Hebrews 6:13-20. We learn:

  • The basis of our triumphant faith: God HIMSELF and HIS faithfulness!
  • How God gives us strong encouragement through His promise and oath.
  • As result of God’s faithfulness and performance we have: stability, safety and access into the most holy Presence of God!

Hebrews Pt 13: Real & False Salvation (Hebrews 6, pt 2)

/

Many Christians are afraid that they may lose their salvation. They believe that the warning verses in Hebrews 6:4-8 and 10:26-31 are aimed at Christians. Is Hebrews really about losing your salvation? Can a Christian’s sin be more powerful than Christ’s finished work, thus negating that work on his behalf?

In this podcast, we deal with these questions head on:

  • We need to remember to whom this epistle was written
  • Who is the type of person being warned in verses 4-8?
  • A very different type of person is addressed in verses 9-12, one that has experienced true salvation.
  • The faith and perseverance that endures to the end.

Hebrews Pt 12: Righteousness Makes a Huge Difference

/

Our Hebrews series continues in chapter 5:12 through 6:3. We answer the questions:

  • Why would a person be considered a “spiritual babe”?
  • What is the “word of Righteousness?”
  • What’s the big deal about “righteousness”?

The subject of righteousness is huge in the Bible. Most Christians — even pastors — are confused about what it really means. Most Christians are loaded down with a sin consciousness, instead of realizing the JOY of being made righteous and the incredible difference it makes in their spiritual lives.

This episode plunges into these great truths that will set you free!

Hebrews Pt 08: Done, So Enjoy It! (chapter 4, part 2)

/

Because we are already in God’s rest — since He has already finished His work, God calls us to “keep the Sabbath” by ceasing from our works. That Sabbath is TODAY, always now. We always are in God’s rest, ceasing from our work, because God has finished all in Christ. That’s what Hebrews is all about.

Topics covered:

    • What “Sabbath keeping” really means for the believer
    • For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
    • “For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (Heb 4:10)
    • How we can come boldly before the throne of grace, because of all that Jesus has accomplished.
    • Religion warning

Hebrews Pt 07: It’s Entering GOD’S Rest! (Chapter 4, Part 1)

/

This is a very powerful, life-changing lesson. Many Christians are somewhat familiar with the fact that Hebrews talks about “rest” a lot. But few understand the revolutionary truth that the “rest” spoken of is God’s rest. And He is resting because He has completely finished His work. Topics covered:

  • It’s about God’s rest, not yours.
  • Why God would rest
  • What God’s rest meant at the creation (Genesis 2)
  • What God’s rest meant to Israel under Joshua’s leadership
