Through the Bible, Expository Teaching on:
The Book of HEBREWS
Join us as we go verse by verse through Hebrews! Hebrews is an anonymous text written (more as a sermon then a letter), to a group of jewish Christian's in Rome in the mid first century. The text calls for the believer to remain strong, and run the race with perseverance, keeping our eyes on Christ (Heb. 12.1-3).
Hebrews 01:01 Bible Study - An Introduction to the Book of Hebrews with Dave Bigler
In this introductory lesson on the book of Hebrews, Bible teacher Dave Bigler provides a foundational overview of the text, emphasizing its central theme: the absolute superiority of Jesus Christ (Solos Christus). The study outlines how Hebrews serves as a "Rosetta Stone" for the Old Testament, bridging the Old and New Testaments. Dave highlights that the book of Hebrews is more of an exhortation or sermon than a traditional letter, designed to encourage Jewish Christians facing intense persecution to remain steadfast in their faith rather than reverting to old religious systems. The book has amazing application for believers today as the call remains the same to stay strong and persevere in the faith.
Hebrews 01:01-02 Bible Study - Better Than Prophets: Jesus as the Ultimate Revelation
In this Bible study, Dave Bigler of Iron Sheep Ministries explores the profound opening verses of the Book of Hebrews. Focusing on Hebrews 1:1-2, this session dives into the various ways God has communicated with humanity throughout history—from the prophets of the Old Testament to the ultimate revelation through His Son, Jesus Christ. Dave breaks down complex theological concepts like Theophanies, Progressive Revelation, and Dispensationalism into accessible lessons, showing how Jesus is the heir of all things and the creator of the universe. Whether you are facing personal challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of the "Book of Better Things," this study offers a strong exhortation to remain faithful and recognize God's voice in your life today.
Hebrews 01:03-14 Bible Study - Better Than Angels - Jesus as the Eternal Son
In this verse by verse Bible study, Dave Bigler explores Hebrews 1.3-14, establishing the foundational identity of Jesus Christ and His superiority over the angels. Dave draws connections to the Transfiguration in Matthew 17 and Jesus' own claims in John 14 to illustrate how Christ fully reveals the character of God to humanity. The second half of the study focuses on the comparison between the Son and angelic beings. Dave explains the historical context of the first century, where angels were held in extremely high regard, and shows how the author of Hebrews systematically places Jesus above them. Through a series of Old Testament quotations from the Psalms and Deuteronomy, Dave highlights that while angels are created "ministering spirits" and messengers, Jesus is the eternal Son, the Creator, and the King whose throne will last forever. The study concludes with a powerful challenge from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, urging listeners to decide if Jesus is a liar, a lunatic, or truly Lord
Hebrews 02:01-04 Bible Study - A Warning Not to Drift Away
This verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 2:1-4 explores a critical warning for believers: the danger of drifting away. Drawing from the author's frequent use of the word "therefore," we examine how the supremacy of Christ—as the creator and sustainer of all things—serves as the ultimate anchor for our faith. Just as the message spoken through angels was binding and every violation received its just punishment, we must recognize that our salvation through Jesus is even more profound. God has confirmed this message through signs, wonders, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, making it clear that ignoring so great a salvation carries eternal consequences.
The central caution in this passage isn't against a sudden rejection of faith, but a slow, passive drift caused by the currents of the world. By looking at the "therefore" of Christ’s character and the binding nature of the Old Covenant, we see that the New Covenant is even more significant because of the high cost of Jesus’ sacrifice. To stay anchored, we must be intentional in our devotion, staying grounded in God's Word and remaining connected to a Bible-believing fellowship. This study challenges us to evaluate what we are doing to stay anchored against the flow of society and ensures we pay the most careful attention to what we have heard.
