Hebrews: Jesus is Better
January - March 2026
Hebrews is a masterful bridge between the Old and New Testaments. Its argument rests on the reality that everything in the Old Testament – the people, events, institutions, and rituals – are shadows pointing to the ultimate reality found in Jesus. Like shadows cast on a dark wall, the Old Testament gives us hints, foreshadowing the climax revealed in Christ.
The key to Hebrews is grasping that Jesus is better: better than angels, better than Moses, better than the Levitical priesthood, better than the rest offered in the Promised Land, better than the sacrifices and tabernacle of the old covenant. He is the ultimate fulfillment, the one in whom God’s promises converge, and the one through whom we can experience true rest, forgiveness, and intimacy with God.
Throughout this series, we’ll explore:
How Jesus is better than everything we lean on or aspire to.
How his priesthood, covenant, and sacrifice secure our salvation and peace.
How we can persevere in faith amid hardship, doubt, and opposition.
How to live in community, love one another, and pursue holiness in a pluralistic, challenging culture.
By the end, you’ll not only see Jesus more clearly, you’ll also be equipped to walk more faithfully, trusting him as superior, sufficient, and sustaining.
