Michael Kibbe – Life in a Lifeless World

The original recipients of Hebrews found themselves struggling to maintain their faith against the pressures of doubt and despair.  So modern believers face similar trials as they seek to live out their faith in a broken world. Brent talks with Michael Kibbe about his new IVP book on Hebrews called ‘Life in a Lifeless World: Encountering Jesus in the Book of Hebrews’. Michael is associate professor of Bible and academic dean at Great Northern University in Spokane.  He’s taught previously at Wheaton College and Moody Bible Institute.    (1:20) Life in a lifeless world; (5:00) The background to Hebrews; (6:20) Jesus in chapters 1 and 2; (8:30) Atonement and enthronement; (11:15) Jesus our great High Priest; (13:30) The covenants in Hebrews; (15:00) A sanctuary in heaven; (17:10) A race; (19:00) Perseverance; (20:05) Faith in chapter 11; (22:30) Marriage and singleness Links mentioned in this episode: www.amazon.com/Life-Lifeless-World-Encountering-Hebrews/dp/1514010267 Leave some feedback: What should we talk about?
