Good Morning “New Covenant Beneficiaries.”  Today we are in Hebrews 8.The writer of Hebrews continues to illustrate differences between the “Old Mosaic Covenant”, based on the Law, and “The New Covenant of Grace” by the Blood of Jesus.  The New Covenant” which Jesus spoke of in the Upper Room just prior to His arrest (Luke 22:20) was instituted when He went to The Cross and rose from the grave con...  Read More

Good Morning “Completely Saved”.  Today we are in Hebrews 7.  Completely saved… what does that mean?  In Chapter 7 the writer continues to explain to the Jewish Believers, and all readers that follow - why Jesus is THE High Priest.  Once and for all.  No more is there a need for the High Priest to enter the Holy of Holies, “behind the curtain” to offer sacrifices for his sin and the sins of the pe...  Read More

Good Morning “Elementary Graduates.”  Today we are in Hebrews 6.The writer continues with his thought regarding milk and meat.  Explaining further he says this: “Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,”  Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬He is not in an...  Read More

Good Morning “Meat Eaters.”  Today we are in Hebrews5.We all grow up and mature physically. We no longer live on a milk diet.  It’s just part of the process.  We would think it odd if it was different.  Not only that, our bodies wouldn’t function well.  We need more to live, milk is no longer sufficient to sustain us.  We need more to function.  More for strength and endurance.  We NEED real food,...  Read More

Good Morning “Throne of Grace Approachers”.  Today we are in Hebrews 4.The writer begins talking about resting - taking a Sabbath.  What exactly is a Sabbath? God rested on the seventh day, not because He needed rest, but He was showing us something.  We are to do likewise.  We need a refocus, press in to Him day. We ought take a day to grow closer, reflect and study His Word!  The writer makes it...  Read More

Good Morning “Daily Encouragers.”  Today we are in Hebrews 3.With so many alternative voices in the world it’s tough to stay on track.  Being in The Word daily is key (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:9-11; Romans 12:2) Spending time each day in prayer and devotion with The Lord is also a must (John 1:9, Phil 4:6). Even Jesus, who was God, routinely went off to a solitary place to spend time with God the Fat...  Read More

Good Morning “Brothers and Sisters of Jesus”.  Wait what?  That’s not a term we hear everyday.  Today we are in Hebrews 2, and yes, that’s how the writer refers to those who know Jesus.“Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬Get a load of this: Brothers and Sisters, ...  Read More

Good Morning “Greater Than The Angels.”  Today we are in Hebrews 1.  Although we aren’t sure who wrote Hebrews, the tone, among other things, suggests Paul.  Others argue ot couldn’t be Paul as he was the minister to the Gentiles.  By the text we know it was written to Jews.  Some appear to be believers in danger of falling away, others were not believing.  Some of the Hebrews were twisted up, bel...  Read More

Good Morning “Forgiven and Changed - Forgivers.”.  Today we look at the short letter to Philemon.Paul writes to Philemon to encourage him to forgive and accept Onesimus as a Brother in Christ and fellow minister of the Gospel.  Why a letter?  Well, Philemon was a wealthy Clossian, and Onesimus was once his slave.  Onesimus ran away.  Based on Paul’s offer to pay back anything he had taken,  he lik...  Read More

Good Morning “Reborn”.  Today we wrap up Titus with chapter 3.  Paul reminds Titus that there was a time when they too were foolish and disobedient.  We all come from somewhere and were all sinners - still are.  We are all saved by Grace - period.  There is none righteous apart from Christ - none.“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous thin...  Read More

Good Morning “Example Setters.”  Today we are in Titus 2.Paul starts this chapter by giving Titus some clear guidance as to what he should be teaching both older and younger men and women.  I’m left with a question though… if they have already been following false, distorted teaching why would they now listen to Titus?  I believe the answer is in Paul’s next movement.“In everything set them an exa...  Read More
