Hebrews 12:3-29 When we suffer, it might seem like Richard Dawkins was right to say, “The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference”. In this talk, we’ll hear what God has to say: our suffering isn’t because of pitiless indifference, it has a purpose.
Hebrews 11:23-12:2 What is faith? What does it mean to live a life of faith? In this passage, we continue our walk through the Hall of Faith with stories of danger and rescue from deep in Bible history. Listen in to think about what these lives could possibly mean for us.
Hebrews 11:1-22 Last week we spoke about faith. But what is faith? A positive outlook on life? A fuzzy feeling? An interest in religion? In this talk we’ll see what faith looks like and what this means for us.
Hebrews 10:19-39 Will you still trust Jesus in 10, 20, 30 years’ time? Many begin well, but don’t make it to the end. Careers develop, pressures build, and faith can drift to the margins. In the final section of Hebrews, we’re urged to keep going.
Hebrews 9:23-10:18 Asking around Canary Wharf, Jesus might be considered insignificant: a historical figure, a nice man, but offering little to help the mess in this world. Come to hear what Jesus’ followers learned: Jesus came to begin a new era of history, an era where people change, mess is finally put right, and that we can be a part of this.
Hebrews 9:1-22 How do you deal with a guilty conscience? We saw that the new covenant provides the context for security. But what gives us confidence that the covenant is secure? When doubts linger and failures weigh on us, it’s easy to wonder whether that security could ever slip away. In this talk we look more closely at the foundation of the new covenant and why it offers real assurance for troubled consciences.
Hebrews 8:1-13 How do you deal with a guilty conscience? When it keeps you awake, or keeps God at arm’s length? We’re good at staying busy and moving on, but we need something better than denial or distraction. In this talk, we consider real help for troubled consciences.
Hebrews 7:1-28 When challenges come our way, the promises that Jesus makes can seem unlikely to be true. God’s antidote: the reason why anyone can be certain of these promises, the best promises ever heard.
“Why did Jesus need to become a man?” It’s a classic theological question with a surprisingly practical answer. In Hebrews 2:5-3:6 we will see how Jesus being “one of us” changes everything.
Why do we find it so hard to truly listen to the Bible? Sometimes it can feel dull, repetitive, and laborious – just another dry text to get through. The truth is, our attention usually depends on whether we grasp the sheer weight and authority of the person speaking. In Hebrews 1:1–2:4, we discover the voice behind the pages of scripture.
