LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S BROADCAST
Old Covenant Sacrifices Cannot Cleanse Conscience
Monday, June 29, 2009
This section of Hebrews describes the tabernacle and some of its furnishings to show that it was only provisional. It provided a continual reminder that though God was in their midst, He was holy and they were separated from Him by the veil.
Hebrews 9: 1 – 10

The New Covenant
6/22/2009 - Monday
This passage explains the superiority of the New Covenant. Everyone under the New Covenant knows the Lord, or else they are not part of it. We also discuss pageantry and mysticism that are created in some churches to give a sense of spirituality to the unconverted.
 
 
A Better High Priest
6/15/2009 - Monday
We explore the once for all sacrifice that Christ made whereby He became the High Priest in heaven. He ministers in a better sanctuary, with a better ministry over a better covenant with better promises.
 
 
We discus the implications of the priestly ministry of Christ through whom we draw near to God. We show that a correct application of Hebrews rules out mysticism. Those Jesus saves, He also intercedes for.
 
 
The Melchizedek Priesthood
6/1/2009 - Monday
The author of Hebrews uses the narrative about Melchizedek from Genesis 14 to prove the superiority of the Melchizedek priesthood over that of Levi. The point of this argument is to prove that Jesus Christ has a unique and superior role of both King and High Priest.
 
 
Christian hope has objective content: the promises of God in Christ. We also discuss the person of Melchizedek from Genesis 14 and the importance of understanding corporate solidarity.
 
 
Having warned his readers against apostasy, the author of Hebrews now encourages them. They have evidence that God has done a work of grace so there is reason for assurance of salvation. Abraham serves as an example to encourage us in Christian hope.
 
 
This program discusses the question of whether a true Christian will ever commit apostasy. We outline three positions 1) true Christians can lose their faith 2) apostates are people like Judas who were never really truly saved 3) that the warning against apostasy is God's means of keeping all of His elect from apostasy. We claim that positions 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive and reject position 1 as unbiblical.
 
 
Those previously warned about spiritual dullness are now warned that it could lead to apostasy. This state would be so horrific that there would be no way out of it.
 
 
This section of Hebrews addresses Christians who have the tools to learn Christian doctrine but lack the desire and motivation. They have morally culpable "dullness" that results in a lack of discernment. Christians who are inattentive and lethargic are in serious, spiritual danger.
 
 
The Doctrine of Christ
4/20/2009 - Monday
This section states that the Son "learned obedience" and was "made perfect." This raises the issue about how Christ, who is not only man, but God, could be perfected when He shared the essential attributes of deity with the Father from all eternity. We also introduce a warning against spiritual dullness.
 
 
Christ as Eternal High Priest
4/13/2009 - Monday
We discuss the key distinction between unintentional and defiant sin that is spelled out in Numbers 15 and show how this distinction is necessary to understand Hebrews. Defiant sin is called "blasphemy" in Numbers. We also discuss the distinction between Aaron and Jesus whose priesthood is according to the order of Melchizedek.
