What does it look like to live by faith? What is the relationship between faith and doubt? How can we persevere and grow in faith? This episode focuses on Hebrews 11. We discuss the definition of faith at the beginning of the chapter and what this looks like in a person’s life. From believing in God’s existence to taking him at his word, we explore how this shapes our relationship with him as well as our actions.Touching on the stories of some of the heroes of the faith listed in Hebrews 11, we consider how faith and trust in God are active and future oriented. The conversation also covers the interplay between faith and doubt, the importance of persevering in the faith, and how faith can grow though life experiences.Timestamps(00:00) - Intro

Transactional or relational? Sacrifice in the Bible – Hebrews E5
How does Jesus' once for all sacrifice supersede the Old Testament sacrificial system?In this episode we dive into the theme of sacrifice as presented in the book of Hebrews. We explore the significance of the Old Testament sacrificial system as part of God's people keeping their covenant with him. Then we look at how Jesus' sacrifice permanently fulfilled the purpose of the sacrificial system and brought about a new covenant relationship with God.We compare the transactional nature of the old sacrificial system with the relational nature of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. We discuss how what we do as a result of Christ's sacrifice shows our heart towards him.In this episode we're joined by Yinxuan Huang, Bible Society's Quantitative Research Manager.Timestamps(00:00) - Intro

What makes Jesus the great High Priest? – Hebrews E4
What was the role of a high priest in the Old Testament? How did Jesus fulfil the role of high priest for eternity? Who was Melchizedek? In this episode we focus on priesthood in the Bible and the role of Jesus as the great high priest. We begin by exploring the historical context of priests and the Levitical priesthood in Judaism. Then we consider the picture of Jesus as the superior and eternal high priest in the book of Hebrews and the implications for us today. We discuss Melchizedek – his significance in the Bible, his dual role as both king and priest, and how he foreshadows Jesus. We finish by talking about how to balance our understanding of the familiarity and close relationship we can now have with God because of what Jesus has done, and the true reverence we should feel in his presence.
