Today’s program wraps up Matt’s study of the book of Hebrews, and the Ascension. No less divine nor human, Christ sits on the right hand of God, as our High Priest Matt starts with Hebrews 12:28 and continues into chapter 13 Our lives should be in service to him (Hebrews 12:28-29, 13:1-25; 1 Timothy 6:10)
The topic of the Ascension continues in Hebrews chapter 11. Pastor Matt shortly reviews portions of Hebrews chapter 11 and then begins in chapter 12 verse. These subjects are covered: Sanctification Glorification Justification Pastor Matt also briefly what Zion and Zionism is and is not. (Hebrews 11:1, 12:1-17)
The study in Hebrews of the Ascension of Christ continues in chapter 10. Today Matt continues to show how the word “For” is being used to point back to previous scriptures to explain a though thoroughly. Hebrews 9:6-12 points toward Hebrews 10. Matt draws attention to how the word “For” is used 10 times in this chapter. 1, 4, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, and 24. The reestablishment of the Temple practices (Old Covenant) is a sin against God’s…
The study in Hebrews of the Ascension of Christ continues in chapter 9 verse 10. Matt points out how the word “For” is used (many times) as an explanatory note, often referring back to reinforce a previous point of scripture. Matt also points out that God needs nothing, owns everything. Before the creation of time and space, He was in perfect union within the Trinity complete and whole. God “chose” to create. The new covenant comes in – the old…
Paul’s perspective on the Ascension continues with Hebrews 3:7 to 4:11. It is time to stand up and stand out. We are to encourage one another as we do our part in this covenant until the end. Following Jesus will change your life sometimes in ways you never expect and we all need the encouragement given in Hebrews 3:13. (Hebrews 3:7-19, 4:1-11)
Jesus the Great Conqueror of Death and the Devil! Paul’s account of the Ascension is continued in Hebrews 2:14. We have a heavenly calling as a result of Christ’s death and ascension. This new covenant is focused on Christ and is a multinational covenant, open to all. (Hebrews 2:14-18, 3:1-15, 4:10)
The subject of the ascension continues this week. In today’s program Hebrews 2:5-18 is tied to both Genesis 1:26-28 and Psalms 8 to point out who Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ a One of a Kind, he is something Other! (Hebrews 2:5-18; Genesis 1:26-28; Psalm 8; Isaiah 8:17)
In this program, Matt first addresses a question submitted regarding his Apr 23, 2019 program on – The Resurrection and Appearances of Jesus Christ. The question is: “Isn’t it a problem for the historicity of this alleged event that most Bible scholars doubt the eyewitness authorship of the Gospels, the sources of this story?” We trust you’ll appreciate Matt’s answer. Matt then continues with his study of the ascension. (Hebrews 2:1-11; Matthew 28:16-17)
The subject of the ascension continues. Hebrews 1:1-14 is covered. Jesus is the King and Heir of all things. He is the supreme answer. (Hebrews 1; Luke 3; Hebrews 3:2-6)
Today Matt starts a series on the very important subject: the Ascension! A primary source will be the book of Hebrews. The Ascension is very important but a much-neglected subject. Jesus is: The Christ The Son of God The Messiah, who expressed the radiance of God in the body of man, that man Jesus! The study starts with Hebrews 1:1. Jesus joined us in suffering. To see God look at Jesus. (Hebrews 1 & 8)
