New Testament / Hebrews

  • Tithes from Abraham

    Hebrews 7:4–6

  • Today is the Day

    Hebrews 4:6–7

  • To Mount Zion

    Hebrews 12:22–23

    Because of our new position, our worship is more than just a collection of earthly believers or the offering of a single individual. Rather, when we worship in Spirit and truth, we join the great throng already surrounding the throne ...Read More

  • Treated As Sons

    Hebrews 12:7

    Hebrews 11:1-6

  • Truth and Its Contrary

    Hebrews 11:3

    It is right to believe that the universe was created ex nihilo by God’s word. However, it is not right to think this “nothing” created the “something” we see. The Bible teaches creation out of nothing, which means God ...Read More

  • Unchangeable Things

    Hebrews 6:18

  • United By Faith

    Hebrews 4:2

  • Unity of the Sanctified

    Hebrews 2:11–13

  • Unskilled in the Word

    Hebrews 5:13

    As we study and understand the Bible more rightly, the basic truths of the Gospel become more rich and full to us. This can only happen however, if we are firmly grounded in the essential truths of the Christian faith ...Read More

  • Unwanted Sacrifices

    Hebrews 10:5–7

    Do you desire to obey the Lord? We do not always talk about it, but the desire to obey God is one mark of a true believer. A true desire for obedience will produce actual obedience, even though it will ...Read More

  • We Do Not Shrink Back

    Hebrews 10:37–39

    At the end of many warnings and exhortations, the author of Hebrews tells us that we are of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Such assurance encourages us to persevere despite all obstacles. If you are lacking assurance ...Read More

    Hebrews 10:8–10

    Christ has done all that is necessary to make us holy, and, positionally, those in Christ are holy. But our positional holiness is not yet a reality in our day to day experience. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help ...Read More

  • We Who Have Believed

    Hebrews 4:3

    One thing that Christ accomplished in His work of salvation was the bringing of God’s rest to His people. This full rest, however, has not yet been applied to us completely. Remember that if you believe in Christ, you ...Read More
