Hebrews Sermons

NT REVELATION IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST TO ALL MANKIND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO OT REVELATION THROUGH THE PROPHETS TO THE JEWISH PATRIARCHS

SERIES OF 7 OT MESSIANIC QUOTATIONS PROVE THE SUPERIORITY OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ANGELS

IN LIGHT OF THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST, PAY ATTENTION TO THE AUTHENTICATED GOSPEL MESSAGE LEST YOU DRIFT AWAY AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES

CHRIST’S SUPERIORITY OVER ANGELS NOT COMPROMISED BY HIS HUMANITY

PERSEVERE IN THE FAITH BY CONSIDERING JESUS AS SUPERIOR TO MOSES

AVOID HARDNESS OF HEART AND UNBELIEF BY RESPONDING IN FAITH AND ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER TO PERSEVERE

AVOID HARDNESS OF HEART AND UNBELIEF SO YOU DON’T MISS OUT ON PERSEVERING IN FAITH AND REALIZING GOD’S REST

3 PASTORAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE SUPERIORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

THE QUALIFICATIONS AND DIVINE APPOINTMENT OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE HIGH PRIESTLY ROLE ARE LINKED TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK

4 MARKS OF SPIRITUAL DELINQUENTS – IT’S TIME TO GROW UP

FAILURE TO PROGRESS TO GENUINE CHRISTIANITY DOOMS ONE TO THE FRUITLESS LIFE OF IRREVERSIBLE APOSTASY

KEEP PRESSING TOWARDS THE GOAL BECAUSE THE CERTAIN HOPE OF OBTAINING GOD’S PROMISES IS ANCHORED IN GOD’S OWN GUARANTEE

THE GREATNESS OF MELCHIZEDEK TYPIFIES THE SUPERIOR PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST – KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE

THE SUPERIORITY OF CHRIST’S PRIESTHOOD BRINGS NEW COVENANT ACCESS TO GOD

CHRIST’S MINISTRY IS SUPERIOR BECAUSE HE MINISTERS IN A BETTER SANCTUARY AND MEDIATES A BETTER COVENANT

THE NEW COVENANT WITH ITS BETTER PROMISES NECESSITATES THE ABANDONMENT OF THE INADEQUATE OLD COVENANT

THE OLD COVENANT WORSHIP SYSTEM WITH ITS EXTERNAL FOCUS ON THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY AND PRIESTLY SERVICE MUST BE VIEWED AS INADEQUATE AND TEMPORARY

ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST UNDER THE NEW COVENANT CAN CLEANSE THE CONSCIENCE AND OBTAIN ETERNAL REDEMPTION

AS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT, CHRIST’S SACRIFICE IS CLEARLY SUPERIOR

THE ONCE-FOR-ALL SACRIFICE OF CHRIST PROVIDES THE ULTIMATE CLEANSING AND FORGIVENESS THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER THE OLD COVENANT

THE REALITY OF THE SUPERIOR PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST IMPACTS BOTH OUR STANDING BEFORE GOD AND OUR STEADFASTNESS IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

PERSISTENT DELIBERATE SIN SHOWS CONTEMPT FOR CHRIST AND HIS SACRIFICE AND WILL BE JUDGED WITHOUT MERCY AS APOSTASY

PERSEVERE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FAITH CONSISTENT WITH YOUR EARLY CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE

FAITH IS THE MEANS:

– TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE,

– TO REALIZE UNSEEN REALITIES,

– TO GAIN GOD’S GRACE AND

– TO COMPREHEND CREATION

ONLY A LIFE OF FAITH PLEASES GOD – HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF ABEL, ENOCH AND NOAH

ONLY A LIFE OF FAITH PLEASES GOD – HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF THE FAITH OF THE PATRIARCHS THAT LOOKED FORWARD TO GOD’S PROMISES FOR THE FUTURE

FAITH FOCUSES ON THE UNSEEN GOD TO GAIN ETERNAL REWARD BY:

– CHOOSING GOD

– DELIVERING FROM DEATH AND BONDAGE

– CAPTURING ENEMY STRONGHOLDS TO ACHIEVE VICTORY

THESE FINAL HEROES OF FAITH HIGHLIGHT GRAND ACHIEVEMENTS, ENDURANCE THROUGH SEVERE SUFFERING AND THE HOPE OF ETERNAL REWARDS
