    “1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen….39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provide something better for us…” Hebrews 11:1,39-40“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1Faith in Jesus is superiorvs. 4 By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice vs. 5 By faith Enoch walked with God vs. 7 By faith Noah built the ark vs. 8 By faith Abraham left his home for the land God promised vs. 11 By faith Sarah believed God for a baby vs. 24 By faith Moses refused the comfort of Egypt pursing God’s promised land vs. 31 By faith Rahab believed she would be sparedvs. 4 By faith Abel “obtained witness that he was righteous” vs. 5.

For the time would fail me to tell you of [all these others] who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions…” Hebrews 11:32-33Hall of fame -people are added to the hall of fame because of something exceptional they did-vs. 31 The faithful Rahab was also a prostitute -vs. 32 the faithful David- the man after God’s heart-also murdered a guy after he slept with that man’s wife and got her pregnant -vs. 8-12 the faithful Abraham and Sarah at one point doubted God’s follow through of the promise so they took matters into their own hands and Abraham made a baby with Sarah’s slaveHe moves the standard off the person who lives by faith and onto the person of their faith.“And all these (people of faith), having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise.” Hebrews 11:39“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Hebrews 11:13Faith is believing and receiving what God has revealed“Faith is the willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.”- David Guzik“God having provided something better for us…” Hebrews 11:40“They waited for His coming; we enjoy Him as having come”- Jamieson“Hebrews 11 proves that the saints of all ages [those of the Old testament, those who were wavering in their faith at the time of the writing, and those of us reading it now] are essentially one. There is a link which unites them; a thrill which passes from one hand to hand around the circle.”- Meyer“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action,[b] and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:3,5-9,13[charlotte Elliot pic](hymn all one slide-4 paragraphs)Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bid’st (tells) me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.Just as I am, those wilt (will) receive, wilt (will) welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, Because they promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.Just as I am, of that free love The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove, Here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come, I come“Faith is very difficult when we live as ‘practical atheists’. This describes someone who may have a theoretical belief in God, but the belief doesn’t matter in what they do from day to day.”- David GuzikHall of fame says you get there because you are exceptional Hall of faith says you get there because Jesus is exceptional

    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...

    Hebrews - Better Deliverer - Jackson Wilson

    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...
