L1Q1 The Message of Hebrews "The Letter to the Hebrews and to US"

Pastors Kameron DeVasher and Mark Howard share study and teaching tips for the Adult Bible Study guide Quarter 1, Lesson 1 taught on December 31, 2021. The lesson title “The Letter to the Hebrews and to US” Paul, the author of Hebrews, referred to his own work as a “word of exhortation” (Heb. 13:22). This expression was used to identify the sermon, both at the synagogue (Acts 13:15) and at Christian worship (1 Tim. 4:13). Thus, it has been argued that Hebrews is the earliest “complete Christian sermon” that we have. Hebrews was addressed to believers who accepted Jesus but then experienced difficulties. Some were publicly shamed and persecuted (Heb. 10:32–34). Others faced financial problems (Heb. 13:5, 6). Many were tired and had begun to question their faith (Heb. 3:12, 13). Can any of us today relate?The apostle, in a stirring sermon, however, challenged them (and, by extension, us) to persevere in faith in Jesus and to fix their eyes upon Jesus, now in the heavenly sanctuary.Kameron DeVasher and Mark Howard are ordained pastors of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  For more information about the...Check out our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/EmmanuelInstituteofEvangelism/For more resources for your Sabbath School, Personal Ministry or Public Evangelism go to MichiganSSPM.org#michigansspm#sabbathschool#advenitst This is the end roll for each podcast.
