Sermons on Hebrews (Page 7)
God’s Rest
Hebrews 4:8 We consider the conquest of Canaan by Israel and see that God raises up a leader of His people (Joshua) to defeat His enemies in Canaan – a person raised up to give the people of God rest in the land.
The Trial of Suffering
Hebrews 10:32-34 We consider another aspect of John Flavel’s teaching on the Marks of Grace. This time, we reflect on the fact that our response in times of severe suffering can reveal the condition of our hearts before the Lord.
The Hope of Glory
Hebrews 12:1-3 An important facet of the Christian life which is often overlooked is our looking ahead to the glory that awaits us. We are not to focus on this world and have Heaven as an afterthought, because as Christians we are no longer citizens here but in the King
A Better Resurrection
Hebrews 11:35 We learn about the better resurrection – how we can know we are saved. We find out how it is that we attain to it, and receive encouragement and insights to help us attain the better resurrection for ourselves and to continue in this way.
Faith: the Conviction of Things Not Seen
Hebrews 11:1 The writer to the Hebrews shows us the nature of Biblical faith. We understand that it is through faith that we become believers but we see here that there is more to it. Faith also is the means by which the invisible, spiritual realities of which the Bib
Peace and Holiness, Not Bitterness
Hebrews 12:14-15 We are exhorted from this passage to see the importance of peace and holiness in the life of a believer and the life of the church. We also see that we are to examine ourselves closely to ensure we have no root of bitterness growing up in ourselves that
A Faithful and Merciful High Priest
Hebrews 2:17-18 In our series on the Shorter Catechism, we come to examine Christ as our great Priest. We see Him exercising the duties of this office before His incarnation, during His time on earth and now that He has ascended to the right hand of God. We also see the
Looking Unto Jesus
Hebrews 12:1-3 We look at the author’s exhortation to the Hebrews to run the race set before them, looking to Jesus. We ask: * Who is this Jesus? * Where is He? * What do we find when we look to Him? * Why are we to look to Him? Finally, we consider how and when we a
God’s Providence
Hebrews 1:3 We consider the doctrine of God’s Providence – that He sustains all things by His mighty power and that everything that happens takes place according to His Decree – the plan that He made that includes all things that take place. We see what a comfort th
They Keep Watch Over Your Souls
Hebrews 13:17 Continuing our series on elders and deacons in the church, we look at elders as shepherds of Christ’s flock. We see their goals, and the tools they have been given to achieve them, together with the motivation they have to do the work well. We also see th
The Need For Godly Examples
Hebrews 13:7 We begin a short series reviewing the need for, the function of and the qualifications of elders and deacons in the church. In this first sermon, we look at the need for elders as an example to the flock and we consider what kind of example they should s
Give Attention to the Word
Hebrews 13:22-25 We come to the end of our series in the letter to the Hebrews. Focusing mainly on verse 22, we see the need not only to hear the words contained in this letter but also to put them into practice. We review the words of exhortation that we have received t
