In this kickoff episode of our Hebrews study, we dive deep into the background, purpose, and power of one of the New Testament’s most challenging books. Before stepping into the text itself, we explore why Hebrews—written to Jewish Christians facing pressure, persecution, and spiritual fatigue—remains so relevant for believers today.
You’ll hear how understanding the Old Testament is essential for understanding Hebrews, why the original audience struggled with staying faithful, and how the letter boldly answers a foundational question: Is Jesus enough?
We also unpack the opening chapter of Hebrews, where the writer immediately establishes Christ’s supremacy—His role in creation, His divine nature, and His position far above the angels—all supported by extensive Old Testament quotations.
This episode sets the stage for the entire series and invites listeners to hear Hebrews as it was originally intended: a powerful, sermon-style message meant to be listened to in one flowing argument.
Whether you’re new to Hebrews or have read it many times, this introduction provides vital context that will shape your understanding of the chapters ahead.
