With All Boldness
Pastor Hamilton
Luke never lets us lose sight of his real purpose—to show that the risen Christ kept the gospel message going farther and farther out. Paul was in Rome because his mission was to be a witness to Jews, Gentiles, and Kings… “to the end of the earth” (1:8).
A Better Covenant
Mark Perry
Jesus Christ, the ultimate high priest, is also the mediator of a wonderful new covenant—one which offers eternal forgiveness for sin.
Thank God!
Pastor Hamilton
God wants us to glorify him (publicly and privately) for his grace and goodness. Giving thanks can be part of a powerful testimony to Jesus Christ.
Take Heart (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
We must communicate God’s Word clearly and challenge souls courageously.
Faithfully Preaching the Gospel of Christ
Tom Boehm
We must remain faithful to the inspired word of God.
A Better High Priest
Mark Perry
Jesus Christ is a superior high priest to any Old Testament priest because he was called by God to be a priest in Melchizedek’s order, which was superior to Aaron’s order. Furthermore, he holds his priesthood permanently because of his endless life, becoming “the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.”
Take Heart (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
Nothing would make Paul keep the message of Christ to himself. Our faith should be open and presented to the lost.
Better Than Moses
Mark Perry
Jesus, God’s faithful Son, is superior to Moses, God’s faithful servant and the “founding father” of Old Covenant religion. Just as the Israelites in the wilderness could not enter God’s rest because of unbelief, we too ought to strive to enter that rest by persevering in faith in Jesus Christ.
Servant and Witness
Pastor Hamilton
Paul was appointed to be a “servant and witness” (v. 16). As disciples, we have no higher calling or greater privilege than to be servant-witnesses for Jesus Christ.
Better Than Angels
Mark Perry
Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is superior to God’s prophets and servants, the angels. If the Law revealed by God’s prophets and angels punished those who disobeyed, we must not turn away from faith in God’s Son. His incarnation and suffering for sin makes him the perfect Brother Priest.
