Sermon Notes

A wake up call to all Christians

Hebrews 3:1
1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

Consider how…

1. Jesus is better than Moses in his position

Hebrews 3:2-4
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.)

2. Jesus is better than Moses in his person

Hebrews 3:5-6
5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

In Jesus We Have a Sure Confidence and a Forever Hope

Next Steps

• Today I put my hope and trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
• I feel like my faith is being tested. Pray for me to hold fast in my walk with Jesus.
• I commit to share the Hope of Christ with someone I meet this week.

Deep Dive

1. Hebrews 3:1 describes Jesus as “the apostle.” Apostle means “sent out one.” How was Jesus an apostle? What was He sent out to do?
2. Hebrews 3:3 says that Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses. How can one person have more glory than another?
3. How does someone who is a believer in a country hostile to Christianity “hold fast” (v.6)? How do you hold fast when your confidence is being tested?

Springboard

1. Share some life experiences you will never forget and why that is important?
2. Read Mark 16:1-8. What keywords are significant in this account of Jesus’ resurrection?
3. Discuss why our remembrance of Jesus’ resurrection matters to the life of a Christian.
