Today, we conclude our study in Hebrews 11, God’s “Faith Hall of Fame,” examining in some detail the lives of Gideon, Barak, and Jephthah. God records their acts of faith – and their moral failings – in the Book of Judges. They, like all the men and women listed in Hebrews 11, faltered at times, but Pastor Kevin reminds us that God saw and…

Today, we examine further the life and faith of Abraham who, when tested by God, showed that he was willing to sacrifice Isaac, his only heir and the son of promise, on Mount Moriah. Because Abraham obeyed, we have a picture of what God did do when He allowed His Son Jesus to be sacrificed by those Jesus came to save on this very…
On this Mother’s Day 2023, we continue our study in Hebrews 11 looking at the life of Sarah, Abraham’s wife and one of two women listed in God’s “Faith Hall of Fame.” Like us, Sarah’s faith faltered at times, and although she and Abraham resorted to human methods to provide a son for Abraham through her handmaiden Hagar, she believed God’s promise…
Hebrews 10:1-14 and related Scriptures emphasize that animal sacrifices were insufficient to remove sin and its guilt. In fact, they served as a reminder of sin. Pastor Kevin emphasized that the same is true of any religious system that relies on human effort. As prophesied in Psalm 40, only Jesus’ bodily sacrifice is sufficient to atone for sin completely and forever for those who believe. “But when…
March 26, 2023, S-1533-KL In today’s study, we see how the Old Covenant foreshadowed a new and better covenant, one under which God promised to put His laws, not on tablets of stone, but “in their mind and … on their hearts” (Jeremiah 31:33, quoted in Hebrews 8:10). By shedding His own blood on the cross, Jesus instituted and became the High Priest and mediator…
Hebrews 6:16-8:6 In today’s message, the writer of Hebrews encourages his readers – and us – that our unchanging God keeps His promises. He kept His promise to Abraham that he would bear a son, and He fulfilled the prophetic promise of Psalm 110 to provide a new High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. This new and eternal High Priest, Jesus, provides the…
Hebrews 6:1-15. Today’s message covers one of the most often-misunderstood passages in the Bible, verses 1 through 15 of Hebrews Chapter 6. Pastor Kevin explains how important it is to understand the original audience of this epistle and its historical context in order to properly interpret this passage. The audience comprised Jews who had professed belief in Jesus but still clung to the religious…
Hebrews 5:1-14 Today, we begin the next division of Hebrews, Chapters 5 through 7, which demonstrate that Jesus is our supreme and eternal High Priest even though he came not from the tribe of Levi, but from the tribe of Judah. Beginning with a review of the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants in the Old Testament, Pastor Kevin then shows how the Old…
Hebrews 4:12-16. Pastor Kevin resumes our study in Hebrews this week, beginning with a review of Chapter 4:1-11. These verses show that, just as most of the Israelites who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses failed to enter the Promised Land because of unbelief, we today must trust solely in Jesus’ finished work on the cross as the propitiation for our sins…
Pastor Kevin continues our study in Hebrews, showing how Old Testament Scriptures foretold that the prophesied Messiah and the divine Son of God were the same, and that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy. Using several of these Scriptures, Chapter 1 demonstrates that Jesus is superior to the angels. Chapter 2 begins with a warning. If the written law given through Moses brought about conviction of…
