S12E01: Superior to Angels (Hebrews: In These Last Days, part 1)

Sermon #609

Welcome to the 12th season of Guerrilla Christianity!  In this introductory sermon to the expositional series on Hebrews, we look at several things about this epistle in general, and then the opening four verses.  First, we look at some of the theories surrounding authorship, concluding that we do not know conclusively who the author of Hebrews is, but that the ultimate author is undoubtedly the Holy Spirit.  Second, we establish the timeline for when the letter was written and the circumstances surrounding its writing.  Thirdly, we look at the major themes of the letter - the superiority of Christ; his three offices of prophet, priest, and king; the regulative principle of worship; and perseverance in the face of persecution.  Then we look at the opening lines that describe this Son of God who is superior to the angels, through whom God has spoken to us in these last days.  This series will carry us through the majority of the Season after Pentecost, and it promises to be enlightening and insightful.
