The book of Hebrews is a wonderful read in the midst of reading the Old Testament because it connects so many of the dots for us!
If you want to listen to Pastor Stephen preach the whole book in one shot, click here.
As you read, look for the reoccurring themes of the supremacy of Christ over the Old Testament, the need to ACT IN FAITH upon what God is telling you, and influence others with your faithfulness.
Meeting the Lord in Dry Places:
None of us really want the Dry Spells of life. We become tired, and thirsty for something that satisfies, we are uncomfortable, we are unsure of the future. The dry places of our lives feel the most distant from the Lord. We think that the dryness is an expression of God’s removal of blessing, the absence of his presence, when in reality, it is the desert places that allow us raw and concentrated time with Him. Allow this series to challenge your thinking of that a time of blessing from the Lord looks like.
“There is in true grace an infinite circle:
a man by thirsting receives,
and receiving thirsts for more.”
- Thomas Shepard
I think it’s amazing that God prepared a body for Jesus for the purpose of sacrificing it. He needed a body. 10:5,10. Jesus sacrifice sanctifies us once for all. The body of Christ is amazing. Jesus physical body paid the price for us – he offered up his life. Thank you Jesus.
