Ask a group of Christians to name the most intimidating book in the New Testament, and most will say “Hebrews.” And if you asked the author of Hebrews the same question, he would probably name his book. If you think the book is challenging as it is, be glad the author didn’t write all he wanted to say - he confesses to backing off a bit for fear his “dull of hearing” readers would be lost (Hebrews 5:9-14)! This we know: All Scripture is inspired by God and given to us for our edification. So if Hebrews seems challenging, it is time for the Church to rise to the occasion and mine the letter of the riches it contains. In this first volume of four study guides on Hebrews, Pastor David Jeremiah goes verse-by-verse through the first five chapters of the book - the most Christ-exalting and Christ-explaining sequence of chapters in the New Testament.

From the series Hebrews.
Men became priests of the Old Testament by being born into the tribe of Levi. They served from age 25 to 50, offering sacrifices continually for the sins of the people. Their work was never finished. Christ came as an eternal priest who offered the final sacrifice for sin. Covers Hebrews 7:1-28.
From the series Hebrews.

From the series Hebrews.
Everything about the earthly Tabernacle was temporary and limited. But it served a purpose in the plan of God to point to an eternal and unlimited tabernacle that would be served by the sinless High Priest, Jesus Christ. What was good has been replaced by something better. Covers Hebrews 9:1-14.

From the series Hebrews.

From the series Hebrews.
The apostle Paul structured several of his letters in two parts: doctrine followed by practice. And the writer of the Hebrews has done the same.

From the series Hebrews.
Questions are often raised about passages in the book of Hebrews that suggest Christians may lose their eternal inheritance. If someone turns his back on Christ and the faith, he is “losing” something he never had – a genuine, saving relationship with God through faith in Christ. Covers Hebrews 10:26-31.
From the series Hebrews.
Every day in the Christian's life is important because within 24 hours, that day will become part of our past. It is important to endure faithfully today so we can build a history of memories of how God has sustained us in the past – and will sustain us in the present and into the future. Covers Hebrews 10:32-39.
From the series Hebrews.
Many people in the world are people of faith, but that is not the same number that are Christians. It takes more than faith to be a Christian; it takes biblical faith. Faith is not as important as the object of one's faith. And in the Bible, the only valid object of faith is the God of the Bible. Covers Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
From the series Hebrews.
Throughout history man has sought God on one of two paths. One is the path of human effort characterized by pride (religion). The other is the path of obedient faith that responds to God's revelation of what pleases Him (relationship). Cain took the former path, Abel the latter. Covers Hebrews 11:4
From the series Hebrews.
It seems like the amazing lives of so many of the great heroes of the faith were evident at their birth, as was the case with Moses and John the Baptist. But Enoch gives hope for all of us who didn't start out so perfectly. In fact, Enoch did not begin his walk with God until he was sixty-five; but when he did, it was a fellowship and a friendship like no other. Covers Hebrews 11:5-6.
From the series Hebrews.
At one time or another, all of us have felt as if we were the only person in the world, totally alone in our struggles. In reality that has never been true of us, but Noah was one person who could actually claim such a grievance. Besides his wife and his three sons (and their wives), Noah had to stand alone against the world with only his faith in God to secure him. Covers Hebrews 11:7.
From the series Hebrews.
It is easy to say that we will do whatever God calls us to do, but that is much, much harder to put into real practice. Just imagine being Abraham and having God command you to sacrifice your one and only son to Him. There could not be any greater test of faith and obedience, and yet Abraham passed with flying colors. It is no wonder then that Abraham is referred to as God's friend. Covers Hebrews 11:8-10, 17-19.
From the series Hebrews.
Much of life is spent waiting, sometimes on trivial matters--and on larger matters like the fulfillment of the promise of Christ's return. From the story of Abraham and Sarah we learn what not to do while waiting on God and how waiting can be a classroom that teaches lessons in faith. Covers Hebrews 11:11-12.
From the series Hebrews.
Sometimes we think biblical heroes lived perfect lives, when the opposite is true. They often displayed character flaws and were unfaithful to God. In other words, they were human. Instead of focusing on their failures, Scripture focuses on their faith and how God's grace is greater than all our sin. Covers Hebrews 11:20-22.
From the series Hebrews.
Whenever we get discouraged by the lack of progress in our lives, it is good for us to remember Moses, who tended sheep in the desert for 40 years until God used him to dramatically set His people free. Covers Hebrews 11:23-29.
From the series Hebrews.
It is common for non-Christians to mistakenly believe that they have to "clean up" their life before coming to Christ by faith. Joshua and Rahab were from opposite ends of the moral spectrum but were co-participants in a mighty work of God--and both played their part by faith. Covers Hebrews 11:30-31.
From the series Hebrews.
One of the sharpest weapons of our spiritual enemy is to convince us that we are not special or gifted enough - or have too checkered a past - to be used by God. One of the purposes of Hebrews 11 is to prove that God uses all kinds of people and strategies to accomplish His work. Covers Hebrews 11:32-40.
From the series Hebrews.

CS Lewis once said, "We want not so much a Father in heaven; we want a grandfather in heaven." That is, they want a God whose love for us does not require discipline.
