Hebrews: Christ Is Better Than — An Introduction

In this opening session of our Men’s Morning Study, we begin a new journey through the New Testament letter (sermon) of Hebrews.Hebrews is rich with Old Testament quotations and allusions, helping us see how the entire story of Scripture finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Written to believers under pressure, this sermon speaks to those walking faithfully, those tempted to compromise, and those in danger of drifting away.We explore the historical setting of Hebrews, its original audience, and the central theme that drives the entire book: Christ is better than. Better than angels, better than the old covenant, and fully sufficient for our salvation and endurance.Our study begins with Hebrews 1:1–4, where Christ is revealed as the radiance of God’s glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and the One who upholds all things by the word of His power. This introduction lays the foundation for a letter that offers deep theology, strong warning, and rich encouragement for weary believers.
