The Tale of Two Mountains - Part 2

Hebrews 12:25-29

September 10, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 12:25–29

Give

As we discovered last week, Mount Sinai and Mount Zion are symbolic old and new covenants realities, one of fear, and the other of grace respectively (v. 18 - 24). But those same mountains are also symbolic of kingdoms. The covenants they represent have authority and dominion. They are binding and set the standard for ethics and morality. They govern our behaviors in service and in worship. One kingdom was ruled in fear through the law. The other is ruled in grace through Jesus Christ.

Join us today as we return a second time to the Tale of Two Mountains, and we discuss these Kingdom Realities from Hebrews 12:25 - 29.

Kindred Responsibilities - Part 7

November 12, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:18–25

How do we bring this study in Hebrews to a close? How do we sum up all that has been said? How does the author? He says, “pray for us.” That is his final appeal through the Spirit. After all the doctrine and all the warnings, he asks for prayer. It is fitting end to this book. And it sheds some light on the 7th and final kindred responsibility from Hebrews 13 - An Appeal to Pray (13:18 - 15).

Kindred Responsibilities - Part 6

November 5, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:10–15

Kindred Responsibilities - Part 5

October 29, 2023 • Ben Gibson • Hebrews 13:8–9, Matthew 24:4–5, Matthew 24:11, Matthew 24:23–27, Galatians 1:7–9

We are rounding out our study in Hebrews. As we do, our kindred responsibilities to one another as fellow new covenant citizens in the unshakeable kingdom of Christ remain our focus. Building again on the foundation of love (13:1), we also must agree upon sound doctrine (13:8 & 9). We share an obligation to hold fast to that which is true. We cannot be taken in by falsehood. The insistence upon sound doctrine is for the benefit of the church in the world. Join us today as we talk about the need for sound doctrine, and how to keep ourselves from being taken in by it.
