“Consider Jesus” • Hebrews 3:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

Paul will continue in this chapter proving that Jesus is superior to Moses but he begins with an exhortation to deeper worship. Seeing that the believer is set apart by God in the covenant of redemption beginning in election, it makes logical sense that he would give complete attention and diligent observation of the superiority of Christ. This learning and worship is best done in the place designed and provided by the Father, The church of the living God, the household of God. This message was preached on Sunday, May 19, 2024. Special note: Brother Luke Lowrance, son of Elder Bryce, graduated from High School. This sermon contains a graduation charge for him as well.

“Jesus Is Superior to the Angels” • Hebrews 2:5-18 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

After a short but clear warning in the first few verses of chapter 2, the Apostle Paul continues his argument that Jesus is superior to the angels that he began in the first chapter. Not only is Jesus superior because He created all things, He has all things put in subjection under Him in the new heaven and new earth as well. The glorious hope of the resurrection is a great comfort to the elect of God who are secured in Jesus Christ by the covenant of redemption and His finished work on the cross.

Part 2 begins in 1st Corinthians and then picks back up in Hebrews 2:9.

“Warning #1” • Hebrews 2:1-4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. Part 2

In the middle of his argument that Jesus Christ is superior to the angels, the Apostle Paul warns of the dangers of not listening to and applying the word of God in our lives. Since, God has spoken to us directly in His Son, we ought to be even more devoted to Him and His kingdom. If we neglect these things, we are in danger of forgetting all the blessings God has for us and that we were saved from our sins.

“What God Says About Jesus” • Hebrews 1:4-14 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

The Apostle Paul makes a two-pronged defense of the superiority of Jesus Christ over the angels. The first argument is that Jesus is God. Jesus is the Son; angels are His servants. Christ is King; angels are His subjects. Jesus is the Creator; angels are created beings. Therefore, He is higher than the angels and deserves our praise and worship.

“The Exaltation of the Son of God” • Hebrews 1:1-3 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

Returning to the opening of the Epistle to the Hebrews, Elder Bryce preaches about how Jesus is exalted above all things because of Who He is and what He has done. Jesus is the heir of all things; He is the Creator of the universe; He is the brightness of the glory of God; He is the visible of the invisible God; He is the Sustainer of the universe and our salvation; He is the sole and successful Savior of the elect of God; and He is at peace sitting at the right hand of the majesty on high.

Part 2 begins in verse 3 with Christ being the "express image" of God.
