Hebrews
A Life of Worship
As people receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, we are to offer to God acceptable worship. But is that just something we do for a couple hours on Sunday? In this passage we see that it is not, but that a life of worship also comes out in how we treat one another, how we treat marriage, and how we treat money.

The Life of Faith (Part 2)
This week continues our study of Hebrews 11 from last week, bringing the examples of faith to the incredible conclusion that God has prepared something better for us. How much more, then, should we walk by faith, not by sight.
The Life of Faith (Part 1)
Many today speak positively of faith, but what is faith? And what does it look like to live by faith? This passage shows us by beginning the author’s list of examples of those who lived by faith.
Do Not Dispose
There are some things worth holding on to, and our confidence in Christ is certainly one of them.
The “So What?”
Hebrews is packed with glorious truth about what God has done for us in Christ, but what does he want us to do in response? This passage begins to answer that question more explicitly.
Waiting for What Lasts
When you look ahead to the future, what do you see? In this passage, we see that for those who are in Christ, an eternal inheritance awaits them that Christ’s death secured.
Better Priest, Better Worship
When we sin, our conscience is defiled, and that typically makes us want to hide from God rather than drawing near to him in worship. But in this passage we see that Jesus both makes a way for us to enter God’s presence and cleanses our conscience so that we are no longer afraid to do so.
Better Than All the Rest
To swap the better for the lesser is always foolish, and Christians have a better priest than any other priest.
A Better Priesthood
Hebrews has told us that Jesus Christ is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, but who is this Melchizedek? In this passage we learn who he is, and especially how he points us to the superiority of Christ above all other priests.
Hope Has a Name
There are things with which we are willing to part ways in this life, but then there are other things to which we hold on. In this passage, we see a call to hold on the hope set before us.
Mature Audiences Only
We expect infants to be immature, but it’s weird when an adult is. In this passage we see the call to maturity, and not only the weirdness, but the danger, of remaining in immaturity.
