Hebrews Bible Study: 4:1-11 “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God”
Hebrews 4 continues where the third chapter left off, using Psalm 95 as a warning and motivation to walk in faith and not allow unbelief to turn into disobedience.

A Needed Reminder
I don’t like to be reminded of things. For some reason I have often chosen to view reminders as acts of distrust rather than encouragement.

Hebrews Bible Study: 3:1-19 “A Call To Faithfulness”
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...
