Explore the Bible: Hebrews: Chapters 8-13 Group Bible Study helps believers understand how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament promise of a New Covenant. The writer of Hebrews appeals to the experiences of men and women of faith as examples for believers and encourages them to continue the journey of faith, looking to Jesus for help. The context of the original audience indicates that these early followers were contemplating abandoning their faith so the writer of Hebrews exhorts Christians to trust in Jesus in the midst of persecution and hard times. And these words are faithful and true for believers today who face difficulties in following Jesus. Includes leader material. Great for adult Sunday School classes and small groups. Purchase one for each participant. Explore the Bible brings you deep, book-by-book study. Each study focuses on one book of the Bible (or section of a book) and features questions designed to encourage group discussion. These studies encourage transformational encounters with Scripture that help participants know the Word in a personal and meaningful way. And because the Word equips us "for every good work," as Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3, these studies help adults understand how to live it out in their own life context.
