Hebrews: All in Christ, All for Christ

Preaching Through Hebrews in 2016

Hebrews is one of the richest, deepest and most thrilling books of the New Testament. This book opens up the Old Testament in a way that no other New Testament book does. It speaks to our deepest needs and shows us that in everything Christ alone can answer them. However Hebrews also has some of the most perplexing passages in the Bible and sometimes it leaps from though to thought that it can be difficult to follow its train of thought.

If you are keen to really deepen your knowledge of the whole book of Hebrews, you need to read it for yourself. Start with just reading it for yourself in your Bible. After you have read it several times you may find it helpful to understand how the whole book is structured. Some commentators believe it started as five written sermons which the author edited together into one book. Even if this wasn't exactly what he did, it is still a good way of breaking it down into more manageable chunks.

Then read each of the five "sermons" for yourself. I have put the outline subtitles of each of the "sermons" into the NIV text of Hebrews itself.
