Sermon Notes
The Superior Builder
Hebrews 3:1-6
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. The book of Hebrews was written to encourage the church to remain focused on Jesus Christ. In our passage, we will consider Jesus as the Creator and Builder of all things. Through the glory of Jesus as Creator, we will be encouraged to fix our eyes on Him in order to increase in hope.
Jesus was faithful to complete His mission.
Jesus is the Divine builder of all.
Jesus is the Son Who is our hope.
