Part I

Part II

Part III

Hebrews was penned for weary urban Christians, offering hope and encouragement.

Just as its original audience faced a culture that neither understood nor respected Christian faith, so too do we encounter a society that frequently questions and challenges Jesus and Christianity. The author of Hebrews wrote to Christians feeling discouraged, isolated, and tempted to either drift away towards worldliness or fall back towards Judaism.

In Hebrews, we’re invited to rediscover the incomparable glory of Jesus Christ, to reflect deeply on the transformative power of His redemption, and to cultivate endurance in our faith that can withstand life’s storms.

Join us as we embark on a 15-week journey through the book of Hebrews, beginning with “Part 1 – Glory” on September 1.

The Revelation

Jesus is the perfect, ultimate, final revelation of God. He is the ultimate expression of God’s glory, surpassing all previous revelations and angels. In Jesus, we’re invited to witness and experience the majestic glory of God’s presence.

The Saviour

Hebrews 2:1-18 highlights the glory of God as seen in the sacrificial role of Jesus, our Saviour. Through His incarnation and suffering, His willingness to become human and endure suffering for our salvation reveals God’s magnificent grace and redemptive power.

Consider Jesus

In Hebrews 3:1-19, the glory of God is embodied in Jesus as we are called to consider him. Compared to Moses, Jesus’ glory surpasses that of the greatest Old Testament leaders. His faithful leadership and guidance reflect the divine wisdom and glory, offering us a deeper understanding of God’s plan and purpose for His people.

Sharing in Christ

Hebrews 3:7-4:1 Do not harden your hearts towards God is the warning penned by the author of Hebrews. The world and its temptation will be strong, but Jesus is the only one who will satisfy. Encourage one another in faith to keep following Jesus, lest you fall away.

The Great High Priest

Jesus is the great High Priest who sympathises with our weakness and temptation to sin, yet remains sinless. He offers mercy and grace, providing eternal salvation through his obedience to the Father and suffering at the cross and fulfilling his role as great High Priest.

The Anchor of the Soul

Our hope in God’s promises serves as an anchor for the soul, with Jesus as our eternal High Priest. Hebrews 5-6 encourages believers to keep trusting Jesus, warns against spiritual stagnation and reminds us to trust in God’s promises and persevere in the faith.

The King of Righteousness and Peace

Unlike earthly priests, Jesus’ priesthood is permanent because He lives forever. His perfect sacrifice brings complete salvation, making Him the ultimate mediator between God and humanity. Jesus is the guarantor of a better covenant between God and us, his people.

The Better Covenant

Jesus fulfilled God’s promises of a new and better covenant, making the old obsolete. This new covenant is built on God’s promises to write His laws on the hearts of His people by the Holy Spirit, offering complete forgiveness and a direct relationship with Him.

The Most Holy Place

Jesus entered the heavenly sanctuary, offering His own blood as a sacrifice to secure eternal redemption for us, to cleanse us of sin and to gift us the presence of God, the Holy Spirit. Through Jesus we are invited into the throne room of God, to enjoy a relationship with Him.

The Ultimate Sacrifice

The old covenant’s earthly tabernacle and repeated sacrifices were abolished with Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice. We do not have to earn our faith or perform sacrifices to God. Jesus has paid the price for our sin and sanctifies us by his blood, giving us a new identity in Him.

Let Us

Through Jesus, we can draw near to God with assurance that we are forgiven of our sins. Despite struggle, in Jesus there is great eternal reward. Stand firm, resist sin, encourage one another and remember God is faithful to forgive and save you.

Hall of Fame

Many have gone before us in trusting God, and in His promises, without seeing the end reward. We endure the difficulties of this life by looking to Jesus, who perfected faith by enduring the cross, and strengthens us to stay steadfast in the face of opposition.

Divine Discipline

A good father will discipline his children. Likewise, God disciplines us as his children to produce holiness within us, and to form us into the likeness of Jesus. The way we live is an example to the world of Jesus’ ways, and the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

The Unshakable Kingdom

Through Jesus, our mediator, we are invited into His kingdom of joy and celebration. Jesus invites us to listen to God’s voice, reminding us that one day everything temporary will be shaken, leaving only God’s unshakable kingdom.

The City to Come

Practice love, hospitality, and compassion, as you trust in God’s provision. Fix your eyes on the kingdom of God, as we continue to praise Him, abide in His word, act mercifully and share the good news with others, for these sacrifices are pleasing to Him.
