Serving Acceptably - A Bible Study of the Book of Hebrews (Training for Service) / Training for Service (ePub)

Fourteen Bible Study modules on Hebrews, each with commentary and thought-provoking questions which are ideal for group or personal study.

Moses and the people left the bondage of one country to seek the blessings of another, believing that God was not only able to bring them out but to bring them in (Ex.6:7,8). They discovered the reality of God's promise to Moses about Jordan, "The LORD your God Himself crosses over before you" (Deut.31:3). They were only following where He had gone Himself! Integral to this were the land, the mountain, the inheritance, the dwelling place and the sanctuary (Ex.15:16). In the Christ-centred travelogue of the letter to the Hebrews, landscapes, seascapes, mountains, cities and countries all find their spiritual counterpart - and spiritual fulfilment awaits each present-day disciple who approaches its thirteen chapters with a willingness to read and to cross over.

For Jesus "passed through the heavens" (Heb.4:14) and "by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place" (Heb.9:12 KJV), and He still waits to admit those who follow. He has opened up the way into heaven (Heb.1:3), the way into service in prayer (Heb.4:16), worship (Heb.10:19-22), witness (Heb.13:13), and the way into the sanctuary (Heb.8:2). In a very wonderful way these early believers were being encouraged to experience the full implication of the word 'Hebrews' and cross over to claim the full effect of its teaching - and so are we.
