Hebrews CITs

Hebrews 1:1-4

test of attached file

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this will we do, if God permit.

Let's grow in God.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

This was addressed to Paul, not directly to any other person.

CIT

Paul asked what he should do, and was told to go into a city where he would receive instruction.

Observations from the book of Hebrews

The book uses a large amount of comparative language.  Most is about Jesus:
Greater than the angels
Better hope
Better testament
More excellent ministry
Greater/more perfect tabernacle
More excellent sacrifice
More excellent name
Worthy of more glory
Greater than the prophets
Greater than Moses
Greater than Joshua
Greater than Aaron

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to merge the principles and practices of church planting movements (which seem to be fulfilling the growth aspect of the Great Commission fairly well) and the Ephesians 4 model (which seems to be more focused on maturing believers, not simply growth). I put together a short document outlining my thinking, which will be very familiar to anyone who has been listening to Kevin's videos for more than a week, but ends with practical suggestions for how to actually conduct ourselves in the West/America today.

can people make the bible their idol?

2 types of mysteries - 

1. contradictions
2. insufficient information

To illustrate these 2 types of mysteries, consider Sherlock Holmes investigating a jewel theft:

There may be insufficient information to establish the identity of the thief - initially. The possibility still exists that new information later will be uncovered.
