Joseph Believed and Forgave
Joseph believed the LORD God and that He was a rewarder of those who diligently sought Him. And Joseph sought to please God all of his days, even when no one else knew the LORD, even when Joseph would be punished for obeying God, even when he was the second most powerful man in Egypt. And he…

Only Begotten Son
Are we talking about The only begotten Son of God? Are we talking about Abraham and Sarah? Seemingly, Genesis is preparing the world for a greater storyline within the story of God’s Word. So many parallels yet so much more to learn and live for us as Christ followers. God will provide for…

Seeking Better Homeland
Abraham and Sarah are each an example of faith in God. Each believed the promises from God enough to leave their old homeland in order to seek a better homeland. And God is pleased and testifies that He has prepared a place worthy of their hopes. Hebrews 11:8-16 Recorded Sunday morning, September...
-
Testimony of Faith
What do Abel, Enoch, and Noah have in common? They had the testimony of God that by faith they pleased God and had received the reward of righteousness by faith for seeking Him. They were convinced that God was worth more than anything else they could be offered. How about us? Hebrews 11:1-7...
-
We Need Endurance
The writer of the letter to the Hebrews told his readers, “you have need of endurance.” Why do we need perseverance? Each of the other letter writers also encouraged us to diligently endure trials and tribulations in order to be approved by God and to reach the reward. Hebrews 10:36; James...
-
We Must Endure
After a severe warning against abandoning their faith journey to Jesus, the writer of Hebrews speaks to those who are in the faith to exhort them to endure. We need endurance to receive the eternal reward. And he encourages them, we will endure like those who have gone before us. Hebrews 10:32-39...
-
Warning: No Other Way
There is an accountability to the gracious offer of eternal life in Christ Jesus. If one refuses to accept the gift of salvation through the superior sacrifice of the Son of God, the alternative is frightening and terrible. The writer to the Hebrews pleads with his readers who might be on the…

Draw Near to God Together
As we draw nearer to God, we find that God is drawing us nearer to His people as well, especially nearer to those who also are drawing nearer to Him. And through faith, hope, and love, we find that as these grow in us, we grow closer to Christ. And we want to draw nearer to one another. Hebrews...
-
Draw Near to God
In light of everything we have learned about Christ being better and doing better in order to give unprecedented (except Eden) access to the throne of God, let us then draw near to Him. So why dabble with friendship with the world and its fleeting pleasures when you can have infinite joy in the...
-
Sanctified Body
Jesus came into the world in a body specially prepared for Him (Psalm 40:6). So are we according to Psalm 139. But we need the perfect obedience of Christ’s body applied to our hearts to help us live the life God willed for our bodies. And God accomplishes that when we not only live by the Spirit...
-
Fruit of the Spirit
We are called to love our neighbor as ourself. Jesus said to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. These do not come natural to us but require His Spirit. But as a tree produces fruit according to its nature. Those who are saved, they have His Spirit and will produce fruit in accord…
more -
One Judge, One Sacrifice
Life is a gift from God. We have one life to seek Him. After death, we have one Judge who evaluates whether we sought Him or other things. But there is One Sacrifice that covers our sin of self-seeking. Will we seek and wait for Him as our Sacrifice and High Priest? Hebrews 9:15-28 Recorded…

Eternal Redemption
“Eternal” is frequently used word in this section of Hebrews. The Eternal God put on human flesh in order to save His people’s eternal souls with an eternal redemption to give them an eternal inheritance. Thank You Jesus. Hebrews 9:1-15 Recorded Sunday morning, June 21, 2026 by Brad D Harris We...
-
New Covenant Begins
The old covenant was good, maybe too good. The people were not. So a better covenant was needed. God provided a new covenant for His people – one that would not only make them better – God would give them a new heart through His Spirit. Hebrews 8:1-13 Recorded Sunday morning, June 14, 2026 by…

Deliverance Will Arise
The LORD is our shield. The LORD is our Guide. The Lord’s protection and direction is for His glory. God protected and guided Esther to the place where she could be His voice to provide relief and deliverance for God’s people. She is an example for us. But Esther also points us to the Deliverer…

A Forever Priest
A Forever Priest for a Forever Relationship with the Forever God. Our mini-series on Melchizedek culminates with the letter to the Hebrews as their good pastor-teacher expounds on why Jesus the Messiah is their forever High Priest who forever saves His people to forever be in relationship with…

David’s Messiah
David the prophet sings a psalm about his LORD and his Lord. One is his God. The other is … his Messiah? This psalm sets the stage for many important truths of Jesus the Christ. Jesus even taught from it Himself. And the writer to the Hebrews will unpack from it even more. Let’s see what the…
more -
Who is Melchizedek and why?
So the writer of Hebrews is about to obsess over someone whose name is hard to pronounce and is otherwise a little obscure unless you are a Scripture nerd or are trying to prove a point. So to help us understand his point, we are going backwards to get the context of this important person to the...
-
How Firm a Foundation
We are challenged to place our hope in the promises of God. But is that a reliable place to hope? The writer gives two good reasons to trust God with our hope and illustrates that with the story of Abraham. Hebrews 6:13-20 Recorded for Sunday morning, May 3, 2026 by Brad D Harris We hope that…
more -
Impossible to Renew
Impossible is a word like never, I avoid using them. But the writer of Hebrews says that arrogant apostasy can be just like that. Impossible to renew those people back to repentance because what else can God do that He hadn’t already shown to them? With men these things are impossible but with…
more -
Grow to Maturity
The pastor of the Hebrews worries for some of his congregation that they are not growing in their faith and unprepared for coming persecution. He will challenge and exhort them to build on the foundation that has been laid. They need to take personal steps in the spiritual disciplines as…

Compassion on our Weakness
We may not know much about a High Priest’s job but we still needed a greater High Priest. Thus God appointed His Son to become human so He could better intercede and help His people. Hebrews 4:14 – 5:11 Recorded for Sunday morning, April 12, 2026 by Brad D Harris We hope that this online service...
-
Why He Suffered
The gospel writers narrate the events of the passion week without explaining the significance and reason for cross. But I suspect that is because they expect their people to read beyond the gospels. And that includes reading this important passage from the prophet Isaiah, written centuries before...
-
Faith and Baptism
Philip was sent by God to preach the gospel to one person in the desert, reading the Isaiah scroll and having questions he could not answer on his own. Once that man understood that Jesus was the answer to his question, he wanted to be baptized into this new faith he found. Acts 8:26-39 Recorded...
-
Greater Advocate
We learned that we need an advocate to go between our offensive sinful condition and a holy, righteous God. Jesus, the Son of God fulfills that need Himself so that we can find mercy and help in our time of need. Hebrews 4:11-16 Taught Sunday morning, March 15, 2026 by Brad D Harris We hope that...
-
The Word is Alive
The Word is alive and powerful to change lives. And the Word made flesh is alive and is using the discerning Word to prepare His people for the day each one stands before His piercing gaze at the Judgement. Are you being prepared for that day? Hebrews 4:11-13 Taught Sunday morning, March 8, 2026…

What is God’s Rest?
When the writer of Hebrews offered rest from God, what kind of rest does God offer? God rested from His work of creation on His sabbath – then commands His people to enjoy a rest the same way – trusting in His provision. God offered peace – trusting in His provision and protection. God offered...
-
Steadfast to the End
The writer to the Hebrews preaches a mini-sermon within his letter from Psalm 95. We follow the first half of his sermon as an encouragement to persevere by faith. Do not turn away from the LORD when the testing comes. Psalm 95 and Hebrews 3:7-19 Taught Sunday morning, February 22, 2026 by Brad D...

Greater than Great
Moses was defended by God Himself as a faithful servant. Yet our Champion from Hebrews 2 has defeated even greater enemies by Himself in order to establish His own house upon Himself. Hebrews 3:1-6 Taught Sunday morning, February 15, 2026 by Brad D Harris We hope that this online service has...
