No More Offerings (Hebrews 10:1-18)

The ministry of Jesus Christ has freed us from the need to make offerings like the people did in the Old Testament (in order to make purification for sin); while simultaneously freeing us to be able to make offerings out of gratitude and love. [Ryan Sutherland]

The Perfection of Worship (Hebrews 9:1-14)

The first 8 chapters of Hebrews focused on what the author wants us to believe about the new covenant that has been inaugerated through Christ. Here in chapter 9, the author shifts his focus from what we're supposed to believe to how we ought to live. What does it look like to live in light of this new covenant. And he begins with the issue of worship. [Ryan Sutherland]

A Better Covenant (Hebrews 8:1-13)

Our passage this morning contains the longest quotation from the Old Testament within the New Testament - from the book of Jeremiah, chapter 31. In that passage Jeremiah prophesies that God will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel. What is this new covenant and why is it so much better than the old? [Ryan Sutherland]

The Problem with the Law (Hebrews 7:11-28)

This passage in Hebrews describes a need that we have at the core of humanity - the need for perfection and the inability of the Law to bring it about. How then does God provide for this deep human need? [Ryan Sutherland]
