Hebrews 3 Great Than Moses
15 Jan 2012 at 2:00amJesus is greater than Moses because of His incarnation and Sonship. We share in that with Him and one another if we are in Him. This gives us a greater confidence in our message and a greater hope for our future. 3:1-6.
We have a greater responsibility to the Lord, and to one another, to guard our believing hearts, individually and collectively. 3:7-15.
Following along doesn't make you a follower. It's a matter of the heart. It's also a matter of life and death. 3:16-19.
Hebrews 2:6-18 A Greater Incarnation
8 Jan 2012 at 2:00amThe Lord wants us to experience the supremacy of Christ in our lives. He wants that be our lives. We do that by apprehending the significance of the incarnation and by understanding the requirements that were fulfilled through it.

Hebrews 1:4 - 2:18 Greater Than The Angels
4 Dec 2011 at 2:00amJesus is greater than anything that came before Him. Not because what came before was a failure on God's part, but because Jesus was the fulfillment of all that came before Him. That was the point of the first three verses that we looked at last week.
This week we are going to get an overview of the writer's first argument concerning what Jesus is greater than, as well as the first warning about what to look out for as well as what to do about it.
Hebrews 1:1-3 Jesus Is Greater Than
27 Nov 2011 at 2:00amIs this your Jesus? What do you look to for validation, fulfillment, integrity, righteousness, satisfaction, identity? If it's anything other than Jesus you are missing the point. Jesus is greater than.

Jesus is the truth. jesus is the central theme to the whole of the Bible; God's answer to our sin problem. Have you addressed that problem? Where do you stand?
Habakkuk 3 - He Is My Strength
13 Nov 2011 at 2:00amWhen you have an encounter with God and His word you will go from pride to pray, from reviling to revival, from justice to just-save-them, from ourselves to Jesus.
When you're having a hard time with what God is doing or is not doing or is about to do always remember what God has done. Like Jesus.
When we think God is being harsh we have to remember the ugliness of sin and its cost which is Jesus.
When we experience trials the source of our joy is defined and refined.
The Creator, the God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Moses, of David, of Elijah and Elisha, of Ezekiel, Daniel, Habakkuk, Peter and Paul, He is your strength. If...

6 Nov 2011 at 2:00amThe just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38.
