Hebrews: Who is Melchizedek?

Who is Melchizedek and why is he important to us? We will be studying in Hebrews this mysterious person and we will see how vitally important he is in helping us understand how significant Jesus is. Practical question: How scared will you be when you die and launch into eternity... how about when you appear before God? It will be intimidating won't it? But because of Melchizedek... and through understanding him... you will better realize just how amazing Jesus's role is, and you will gain immense comfort and faith for that great day.

We live in what is called the Age of Anxiety? Why are we so anxious when we have unprecedented wealth, safety, health care, and social nets? God has some very specific and wonderful things to say about how to overcome worry and have not anxiety but the peace that passes understanding.

Everyone will face many storms in life. Storms toss us, scare us, and shake up our faith. Hebrews talks of an anchor. An amazing solid anchor that has kept the saints in the past solid and immovable in their storms. The writers of Hebrews encourages us immensely in the passage that we will study tonight by showing us how this amazing anchor for the soul is ours as well.

1 Peter: Elder, Shepherd, Overseer

Who is supposed to lead the local church? In our generation Christians are revisiting this question and returning to a Biblical Eldership. Peter has much to say to elders as a fellow-elder... and much to say to all of us about how Christ's church is to be governed.

1 Peter: Living as a Christian in a Hostile World

We all dread persecution and suffering... it hurts, discourages and frustrates. Yet the Bible tells us to rejoice and to feel blessed?! How can we do this? Peter gives us solid reasons to help us do this very counter-intuitive thing.

Hebrews: Can True Christians Lose Their Salvation?

Hebrews 6:4-6 It is impossible for those who were once enlightened... if they fall away... to be renewed to repentance. Some very sobering and powerful and quite frankly scary words. Will we get to heaven? Will we endure to the end? Can true Christians lose their salvation? What about people who once seemed to believe but later reject the faith? These are some of the important concepts we will be discussed in our continued study of Hebrews.
