Preacher without a Pulpit Podcast

Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
“ Better Covenant/Better Promises”
Hebrews 8:6-13

• Our main Idea is found in V-6
• The old covenant was not intended to last; it was flawed in the fact that the law was intended to serve as our babysitter, until the coming of Christ. Gal 3:23-24
• Doubts come when we have no root: Mt.13:20-21
• The prophetic oracle in which God promised to establish a new covenant with his people Jer. 31:31-34 is quoted in full in verses 8-12; this is the longest quotation from the OT to be found in the NT.

The Four Promises:

1. Incomparable Unity

• Jesus prayed for Unity: John 17:20-21
• Paul claimed it: Gal 3:26-28
• He turned away because they turned: Psalm 14:3

2. Inner Change of Heart: Ezekiel 11:19

• Biblical worldview: we see it God’s way.

3. Intimate Fellowship with God

4. Instant Forgiveness of Sins

• Psalm 103:12
• Micah 7:19
• 1 John 1:9
• The Temple would shortly be destroyed by the Romans in AD 70
• Jesus predicted the Temples destruction: Luke 21:5-6
