    Hebrews - The Better Covenant & Sacrifice - Luke Morris
    Mar 5 2026
    Teaching Text: Hebrews 10:8-18 NASB,”8 First he said,“Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sinofferings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered inaccordance with the law. 9 Then he (Jesus Christ) said,“Here I am, I have come to do your will.”He sets aside the first (covenant) to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have beenmade holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Day after day everypriest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest [WHO IS JESUS CHRIST] had offeredfor all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time hewaits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfectforever those who are being made holy. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First hesays: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with themafter that time, says the Lord.I will put my laws in their hearts,and I will write them on their minds.”17 Then he adds:“Their sins and lawless actsI will remember no more.”18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.”Psalm 51:16-18,” 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;You do not take pleasure in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A brokenand a contrite heart, God, You will not despise. 18 By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the wallsof Jerusalem.”GOD WANTS COMPLETE CHANGE IN YOUR HEART NOT EMPTY ACTIONS.The old covenant changes your actions without heart change = The new covenant changesyour actions by changing your heartOld Covenant: It is crazy…Burnt Offerings//Grain Offerings//Communion Sacrifices//PurificationOfferings//Reparation Offerings//Priests - Community - Tribal Leader - General Populace –Hebrews 9:9,”Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make theworshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to food, drink, and various washings,regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.”Hebrews 10:8 NASB,”8 First he said,“Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offeringsyou did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.The Better Sacrifice was Jesus- Jesus was the only one who could bring us into peace and unity with God.“Only a sinless Savior could die for sinners; only God could bear the weight of God’s wrath.”— R. C. Sproul.Hebrews 9:11-14,” 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things havingcome, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is,not of this creation; 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His ownblood, He entered the holy place once for all time, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For ifthe blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled,sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who throughthe eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from deadworks to serve the living God?”You were bought with a very high price.Hebrews 10:9-12 NASB,”9 Then he [Jesus] said,“Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holythrough the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Day after day every prieststands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, whichcan never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,he sat down at the right hand of God,“The lesser things of earth could never have never atoned for what is beyond us.“The gospel is not ‘do,’ but ‘done.’”— Watchman NeeNew Covenant: Hebrews 8:1-13 NASB,” 7 For if that first covenant had been free of fault, nocircumstances would have been sought for a second. 8 For in finding fault with the people, Hesays,“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will bring about a new covenant With thehouse of Israel and the house of Judah, 9 Not like the covenant which I made with their fathersOn the day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did notcontinue in My covenant, And I did not care about them, says the Lord. 10 For this is thecovenant which I will make with the house of Israel After those days, declares the Lord: I will putMy laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shallbe My people. 11 And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother,saying,‘Know the Lord,’ For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. 12 ForI will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,And their...

    12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.Hebrews 3:12-19BETTER DELIVERERTherefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.Hebrews 3:12-19“They shall not enter my rest.”6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.Hebrews 3:12-19Green Day - American Idiot “Don’t want to be an…”Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name “I won’t do what you tell me”JONATHAN EDWARDS(photo)70 Resolutions by Jonathan EdwardsResolution one: “I will live for God.”Resolution two: “If no one else does, I still will.”Resolution six:“I won’t live halfway — I’m going all in while I have time.”Resolution seven: “I’m going to live now the way I’ll wish I had at the end of my life.”Deliverance: the action of being rescued or set freeDeliverance is not a transition from something bad to something neutral, it’s going from some bad to something good.According to Morris, the ancient Rabbis considered Moses to be the greatest man ever, greater than the angels.The writer to the Hebrews does nothing to criticize Moses.David Guzik7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“Today, if you hear his voice,8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. Hebrews 3:7-12What they did —> What that shows us about God —> The outcomeMoses - (OUT)What Moses did: freed God’s people from 400 years of oppressionWhat that shows us about God: God cares deeply about rescuing us from our burdens16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Hebrews 4:16The Outcome: It was not enough for themJoshua - (IN)What Joshua did: Brought God’s people into the Promise Land after 40 years of wanderingWhat that shows us about God: God cares deeply about fulfilling our desiresThe Outcome: It was not enough for them19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.Hebrews 3:15-19One can truly believe God, yet be occasionally troubled by doubts. There is a doubt that wants God’s promise but is weak in faith at the moment. Unbelief isn’t weakness of faith; it sets itself in opposition to faith.David GuzikYour unbelief is your fault, not your misfortune.Charles Spurgeon6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his...

    14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.Hebrews 2:14-18What will we choose to connect our heart to: the shadow or the substance?Better SonThe Biblical Understanding of the human heart is more skeptical and more hopeful than any other viewpoint.The Danger of the human heart (The undertow)Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.Hebrews 2:1The writer had the drifting of a boat in mind, and such drifting happens naturally without an anchor to something solid. If we are not securely set in the truth of the supremacy of Jesus, we will drift into danger with the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil.David GuzikThe human heart is prone to drifting away from Jesus. “The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up. You must cut every step with the ice axe.”Charles SpurgeonRip Currents Are InvisibleThe Ocean Is Constantly MovingThe Ocean Is Stronger Than Concrete“The ocean is both mother and monster.”Maritime FolkloreThe heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?Jeremiah 17:9Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.Hebrews 2:1A heart that is unanchored looks for visible saviors.“The more we are exposed to the opinions of others, the more unstable we become unless we are rooted in Christ.”Timothy KellerThe Beauty of the human heart (The Surfer)When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.Psalm 8:5-8GARRETT MCNAMARA Photos*** (Big waves)6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted?[b] And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for[c] you, and you must rule over it.”Genesis 4:6-729 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.1 Corinthians 11:1The Anchor for the human heart (The Lifeguard & Surfboard)14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.Hebrews 2:14-18For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.Galatians 5:1
