Our most recent study in the book of Hebrews covers chapter three. The chapter begins much like chapter two, with a call to “consider” Jesus, “the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.” The word “consider”, in this context, means to fix attention on continuously. The author’s entire letter is written for the purpose of...

Our most recent study in the book of Hebrews covers 2:10-18. In this passage the author presents Jesus as the “captain” or “pioneer” of our salvation and shows His dual purpose as “bringing many sons to glory” and to “destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Through Jesus’ suffering He completed His...

Our most recent class on the book of Hebrews covers 2:1-9. The author of the letter stops for just a moment in his exaltation of Jesus as greater than the angels and implores the readers to examine their hearts and be sure that they are giving their full attention to the person and gospel of...

We just completed our second class on the book of Hebrews. In this class we studied 1:4-1:14, Jesus is exalted above the angels. In this passage of Scripture the author of Hebrews begins to show us a bit of his style and belief as he quotes from the Old Testament 7 different times in only...

We will be doing a verse by verse study of the book of Hebrews throughout the course of 2012. We have had requests from those that can’t attend the classes to record and post the audio each week so that they can go through the study with us.  The class meets every other Wednesday night, we will do...

In a single moment Jesus turned societal, racial and gender prejudice upside down and revealed the order of the Father, that all mankind was made in the image of God and was equal as God’s creation. A few weeks ago I wrote about how Jesus restored order by His interaction with the Samaritan woman at...

Living with and for Jesus makes a major change in our lives, it changes the random to purposed and coincidence to planned. As we read the gospels we see many interactions in Jesus’ life that seem as if they don’t fit or don’t make sense or can simply be shrugged off as unimportant, but then...

It seems that no matter what I am reading, studying or talking about lately I have come back to David’s famous words in Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my Shepherd. I shall not want.” I have gone back and read that verse in several different English translations of Scripture recently. Most stay with the King...

I’m not your typical blogger. I don’t post often enough and when I do, I post larger amounts of information than are usually found in this format. But today I just want to share a brief thought that I hope will have long-lasting impact. What are the most productive things in your life? Who are...

A few days ago, as I was preparing to leave home I realized that I had run out of my typical morning pick-me-up and decided that it was imperative that I stop and get myself Dr. Pepper so that the day didn’t spiral out of control. I dropped my boys off at school and then...
