Hebrews Chapter 6 has been called by many theologians the toughest nut to crack in all of the New Testament. Wherever this text has not been rightly divided, believers have walked away beat up and bruised and bloodied without reason. What the writer of Hebrews is really after here is advocating the [...]
Got Milk? We hear it does a body good. But this week in Hebrews Chapter 5, the writer of Hebrews tells us we are going to need much more than that – if we’re going to have an impact and an influence on the culture. As we look at the degeneration of [...]
What if you were told you could enjoy the ultimate all-satisfying experience? And that you could have it if just two things were true.
