The context of the original audience indicates that these early followers of Jesus were contemplating abandoning their faith so the writer of Hebrews exhorts them to trust in Jesus in the midst of persecution and hard times. These words are just as faithful and true for believers today and the study will help those who face hardships 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.
