Hebrews tells us that Messiah Jesus is better than anything mere religion has to offer. Rich in Jewish-Christian doctrine, Hebrews gives us encouraging examples of God’s "faith heroes" who persevered in spite of great difficulties and adverse circumstances Hebrews speaks to people who find that daily life seems to be far removed from the kingdom of God, a central theme of Jesus’ teaching and parables, yet life in the Christian community and the wider society is often discouraging. Through a panoramic view of the whole history of Israel, the author shows how the message of hope can continue to motivate people to lives of faith and service. Spiritual growth occurs in community with others, iron sharpening iron. All ages and stages of life are welcome to join our discussion group as we view this epistle from a Judeo-Christian perspective.
