Hebrews Intro - Chapter 1 Part One
Why is Jesus Christ the ultimate revelation of God? In this introductory message to the Book of Hebrews, Pastor Phil Fernandes provides an overview of the letter's historical background, authorship, purpose, and central theme before beginning a verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 1:1-4. Discover why the author of Hebrews urges believers to remain faithful to Christ and demonstrates that Jesus is greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, the Levitical priesthood, and the Old Covenant.
This sermon explains how God spoke through the prophets in the Old Testament but has now spoken fully through His Son, Jesus Christ. Learn why Jesus is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, the exact representation of God's nature, the heir of all things, and the One who accomplished salvation through His once-for-all sacrifice on the cross. Pastor Phil also examines the historical setting of Hebrews, the persecution facing Jewish believers, and the timeless call for Christians to remain steadfast in Christ rather than turning back to religious traditions or trusting in anything other than Jesus for salvation.
