Sermon Notes

The Superior Promises

Hebrews 6:13-20

Many first-century Jewish Christians were tempted to abandon Christianity on account of persecution and hardship. Their temptation was to return to the comforts of the familiar. Hebrews encourages the church to remain focused on Jesus Christ. This week the author of Hebrews encourages us to endure hardship by holding fast to the promises of God. Hebrews 6:13-20 shows us how to grasp the superior promises of our King.
