Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Hebrews Ch. 3 tells us that Jesus is greater than Moses, the great deliverer from Israel's past. Because of this, rebelling against him leads to more severe consequences for us than the Israelites received when they rebelled during the Exodus. "Do not harden your hearts"(v. 8) we are warned. Instead we are to "fix our thoughts on Jesus" (v. 1) who is faithful to us, and persevere in following him as we encourage others to do the same.

This week, Preston will continue our series in the letter to the Hebrews. Our text tells us that Jesus is everything our hearts could desire. He is greater than the angels because by his humanity - living, dying, and rising again - he has done for us what angels could never do: He is the true and better Adam; he is the older brother we all need; he is our deliverer; and he is our merciful and faithful high priest.

This Sunday we continue our preaching series in the Book of Hebrews. In this week's passage, the author of Hebrews uses several Old Testament scriptures to argue that Jesus, as God's Son, is greater even than the angels. Because of this, his message of salvation (the gospel) is more important than any message the angels have spoken in the past, including the law.

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series in the Book of Hebrews. Written to a community of Jewish Christians, Hebrews draws deeply from the Old Testament to make the case that God has spoken finally and completely through his Son, Jesus Christ, in order to bring his people the salvation he has promised for so long. The author starts right in from the beginning, telling his audience that the Son is greater than any of God's messengers who have come before, because in dealing with him we are dealing with God himself.

1 John 3:8
The scriptures tell us that there is an enemy who is actively seeking to draw us away from God. We see this throughout the Bible, beginning in the Garden of Eden. But as we continue our Advent series looking at what Jesus came to do, we can take hope in the truth that "the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work." (1 John 3:8)
