HEBREWS CHAPTER FIVE VERSES 11-14 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 5:11   Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.  Heb 5:12   For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  Heb 5:13   For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  Heb 5:14   But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Main Point: You are like babies and should be more mature! 4. What does “dull of hearing” mean? Ultimately it means lazy. It contains the thought of non-active hearing. It does not provoke the “listener” to action. The gospel is God’s word which looks to bear fruit in the l

HEBREWS CHAPTER FIVE vs. 1-10 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 5:1   For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:  Heb 5:2   Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.  Heb 5:3   And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.  Heb 5:4   And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.  Heb 5:5   So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.  Heb 5:6   As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.  Heb 5:7   Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying

HEBREWS CHAPTER FOUR VS. 14-16 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 4:14   Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  Heb 4:15   For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Heb 4:16   Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  Main Point: A continuing thought from chapter two. Jesus knows our every need intimately and gives us an avenue to God’s grace/mercy. 6. According to this passage, what makes our High Priest better than the Levitical priesthood?   “He passed through (into) the heavens”. This is also a continuation of thought that Jesus sits at the right hand of God (chapter 1). If our high priest is in heaven and equated with Go

HEBREWS CHAPTER FOUR VS. 1-13 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 4:1   Let us therefore fear , lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it .  2   For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3   For we which have believed do enter into rest , as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.  4   For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.     5   And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.  6   Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered no t in because of unbelief: 7   Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in Da

HEBREWS CHAPTER THREE VS. 14-19 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 3:14   For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;  Heb 3:15   While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.  Heb 3:16   For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.  Heb 3:17   But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?  Heb 3:18   And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?  Heb 3:19   So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.  3:14-19    Main Point: This is an extension of the warning “how will you escape” (judgment). Their unbelief in Jesus will result in rejection of them by God!               7. What must we do to “share in Christ”? Wha
