Playlist: Hebrews (sermon series)
John W. Ritenbaugh
Hebrews (Part One): The Stage Is Set
Early converts from Judaism claimed to accept the Law but had difficulty accepting the Lawgiver. Today, many claim to accept Christ, but will not accept His Law.
Hebrews (Part Two): Who Was Jesus?
If we understand the function of the Old Covenant as explained in Leviticus, we will better understand the New Covenant and not reject the law of the Savior.
Hebrews (Part Three): Who Was Jesus? (cont.)
John identifies Christ as co-eternal with the Father, equal in character, but subordinate in authority. Christ's sonship was unique; He was the 'only Begotten Son.'
Hebrews (Part Four): Who Was Jesus?
Jesus Christ was not just an extraordinary man, but also possessed the massive intellect needed to create, design and implementing all manner of life—He was God.
Hebrews (Part Five): Who Was Jesus?
In Hebrews, we learn that Jesus is the only- begotten Son, creator and heir of all things, the express image of God's person, and has purged our sins.
Hebrews (Part Six): God's Salvation Communication
God personally communicated with Adam, Eve, Abraham, Moses, the prophets, and to us through His Son. With the Scriptures, God teaches His faithful today.
Hebrews (Part Seven): Greater than Angels
The book of Hebrews systematically proves Christ's superiority to patriarchs, prophets, the Levitical Priesthood, and angels, establishing His credentials.
Hebrews (Part Eight): Greater Than Angels (cont.)
Hebrews 1:3-4 describes the dramatic transitional period in which God begot Christ, making Him the only human being who could qualify as our Messiah and Savior.
Hebrews (Part Nine): Chapter 1: Jesus' Exultation and Christianity's Claims
Hebrews 1:3 and Psalm 2 explain how Jesus becomes something He previously was not. Because of Christ's qualifications, Christianity has a claim on all mankind.
Hebrews (Part Ten): Chapters 1 and 2
God created angels as ministering spirits to take care of the heirs of salvation. The Bible is filled with examples of angels rescuing God's people from harm.
Hebrews (Part Eleven): A Simple Recap
Most of the attrition from the truth stems from losing interest. Drifting away is rarely intentional, but the result of choosing to live carnally.
Hebrews (Part Twelve): Chapter 2, A Mind-Bending Purpose (Part One)
To counteract complacency, Hebrews warns against neglecting God's invitation of salvation, which He does not guarantee until sanctification has run its course.
Hebrews (Part Thirteen): Chapter 2, A Mind-Bending Purpose (Part Two)
The Jewish converts to the Way, although having had the benefit of Messianic prophecies, did not recognize the powerful significance of Psalm 8.
Hebrews (Part Fourteen): Chapter 2, A Mind Bending Purpose (Part Three)
Without a meaningful relationship with Christ, God's people cannot possibly bear fruit. Our responsibility is to yield to God's creative work in our lives.
Hebrews (Part Fifteen): Chapter 2, A Mind Bending Purpose (Part Four)
Even though we must cooperate in cultivating spiritual fruit, God alone creates character and takes responsibility for creating spiritual offspring.
