Due to it being so long since we had finished our Luke series, I wanted to give a short podcast that gave a glimpse into what I was going to be doing next...with a small exhortation to accompany the message!

Every so often, God causes us to have a renewed perspective by allowing the weight of certain things to press into our hearts in a fresh way, allowing us an opportunity to see the intended beauty, grandeur, and majesty of His Word as if we were having it once again unveiled for us for the first time! And as I was about to embark on teaching over Luke 22, Father graciously did this for me this morning as I felt the weight of the cross resonating in my heart as if it were for the first time all over again. So in this segment, I simply urge you to take some time, be still, and allow the Spirit of God to pour over you so that you may experience His Truth in a fresh way...

Using Zechariah once again as a point of emphasis, we see how everything changes when we come into agreement with God's Word. For when we choose to align ourselves to His Word, planting our flag on the summit of submission, Heaven will come alive in us! And using his prophecy, I also establish a basic, but vital principle that any student of the Word must know and apply in order to ascertain spiritual Truths from the Word. You won't want to pass up listening to this podcast...

In my inaugural segment over our journey through the book of Luke, I begin by using the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth as a proof to the truth that God will always reward continued faithfulness and obedience to His will! For He will not always remain silent in the midst of our lack but will, "reward those who diligently seek Him". Throw in a plea for the Church to look to Christ and not culture, a Biblical perspective towards Mary, and an exhortation for the Church to lean in to the Spirit in order to overshadow any inability within ourselves, and you have the makings of a podcast sure to enlighten and challenge you unto new heights in Christ...

Concluding this podcast series over one of the more point-blank, profound, and conclusive books in the New Testament, I wrap it up by highlighting the authors finishing touches on this detailed, and candid exposition that is sure to challenge even the most mature Believer! For in this last chapter, the author finishes his letter with a sophisticated eloquence that gives very specific rules for all who are in Christ to follow, both then, and now! Make sure to listen to this one as I will correct common misconceptions about popular verses and give thunderous exhortations sure to deepen your understanding of spiritual Truths!

God will train every child He receives, and as such, we have the responsibility to endure through that training so that we can ultimately become the perfect image of Jesus Christ. But if God saw fit to train Jesus through having Him bear a cross, then we too must endure the same. But when we choose to allow the perfect training of God to work in our lives, He allows us the beautiful privilege of learning how to fly as Jesus did, the pioneer of our Faith who set the bar at the highest level and now says to all who would take on His name, "walk as I walked"...

In the chapter often labeled as, "The Hall of Faith", I continue the flow of Hebrews into the stream of chapter 11 by dissecting the overall premise of the chapter...the commendations of God have always been, and continue to be, given to His people through faithfulness to His will. For the men and women of old who displayed courage and faithfulness to God, without the benefits that we now enjoy in Christ, serve as examples for us of what the Holy Spirit can accomplish simply through anyone who would choose to trust God through the difficult journey of Faith!

The first half of this chapter, I break down the insufficiency of the sacrificial system set up under the Law of Moses and the supremacy of the sacrifice of Christ! For only by His sacrifice can we have victory over sin and as such, we no longer need the temporary band-aid of the blood of bulls and goats. But in the second half, I dissect the firm warning the author is giving to Christians, both then and now, who would be tempted to cheapen the sacrifice of Christ by walking in deliberate sin. For while the sacrifice of Christ is far superior to the blood of bulls and goats, it is equally more precious to God...and mustn't be taken advantage of! For the Lord will judge His people...

In keeping with the common theme the writer of Hebrews has been establishing for the last 3 chapters, we see further proof of the degradation of the first covenant in order that the second may be established in and through Christ. For the elements of the Temple orchestrated by man were simply indicators pointing us to the coming Christ and now that the substance of the shadows, or the reality of the copies, has come with Jesus, there is no longer a need for any copies and shadows to be upheld...

On the heels of learning that God has bypassed the physical covenant made with Israel in order to establish the spiritual covenant with the Church, we venture into chapter 8 to give further proof that what once was, no longer is, because of what has now come in Christ! That the priesthood of old only served as a temporary band-aid as a shadow of the figure of Christ, and the covenant of old has now been made obsolete for those who have come into Christ. Pay careful attention to this podcast, for if you can grasp the reality of this message, it will unveil your eyes to so much more in and throughout His Word...

If there is one thing that has been a leading cause of heretical doctrines propagated by man in todays Church, it would be the failure to understand the foundational truth that God has bypassed what was physical in order to establish the spiritual. And in this chapter, I will navigate through this truth and hopefully bring clarity to its paramount reality because without its understanding, we will be without understanding of the new covenant we have through Christ!

Arguably, the most controversial topic in all of Hebrews is found in this plain, yet often, misunderstood and neglected chapter. For it really conveys a sobering Truth to those who are willing to take it for what it says, and not try to reason it away. And while I don't get too much into the apologetics of it all, I break it down in a simplistic, yet weighty manner that is sure to give you a reverential perspective towards the salvation we have in Christ. For as we the Church mustn't take anything for granted in what we have been given in Christ, for it truly is a once in a lifetime gift we mustn't neglect...

While aspects of this chapter give us a sneak peek as a precursor into the mystery surrounding chapter 7, this podcast focuses more on the things we can be more certain of, and that is how we as the Church must learn to grow in Christ through what we suffer for Christ. For if this was the formula for how Christ learned obedience, it most certainly will be the formula for how we will learn it as well. And understanding this concept is crucial for the journey towards being sanctified into the image of Christ...a path we must continue to walk if we want to be protected from the dangers of infantile Christianity...

There is much debate within the Church that revolves around the concept of the Sabbath. Do we still have to keep it or do we not? Is it Saturday or is it Sunday? Much debate circles around it and yet, it seems few on either side actually understand its purpose for what God intended for it from its inception. For the Sabbath was never intended to just be a means for our bodies to find rest, but the avenue for our souls to find Christ! May we as the Church stop trying to look for the rest of God in the shadows that were always intended to point to the substance of Christ!

Using Israel, the people of God under the Old Testament, as an illustration, the author of Hebrews warns the, "holy Brothers", those of us who share in a, "Heavenly calling", what happens when we rebel from walking in God's ways with a hardened heart. For just as God was provoked with His people then, so it will be today for any who choose to put Christ to the test. Consider this podcast an exhortation to the Beloved to, "not be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin"...

There have been many things that have been passed down as truth within the Church, things considered orthodox and traditional.

In this inaugural chapter, the author of Hebrews pits the Lord of lords against the angels and prophets of old in a battle of supremacy and reliability! And in this foundational chapter that equips the reader to properly understand the rest of the entire book, we find one fundamental Truth woven into the tapestry of God's wisdom given to man...Christ reigns supreme!

In concluding his letter to the Church in Colossae, Paul reminds these Believers to, "remember his chains"...the chains he wears around his wrists as a result of living his life for Jesus Christ! And may it serve as a blunt, and convicting reminder to us that living for Christ was never intended to be an easy path, nor one without continual sacrifice. For the cross of our Lord must be the same cross we bear, firm until the end...
