Exhorting One Another: The Book of Hebrews

by John Piper

What is counseling? The God-centered, Bible-saturated, emotionally in-touch use of language to help people become God-besotted, Christ-exalting, joyfully self-forgetting lovers of people. Biblical counsel does not direct people to esteem themselves – it directs them to esteem God, and doing this means waging war. A Sunday sermon isn’t enough; neither is a weekly small group. To persevere in this fight, we are to “exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’ that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:13). Hebrews teaches us that perseverance is essential in salvation, and that it is a community project. Satisfy your soul in the ultimate Treasure so you move away from comfort and toward need; fight for the salvation of your brothers and sisters in Christ; hold fast to the faith; encourage one another.

This was excellent! If you want to understand the book of Hebrews, this will help. I listened to these to help me understand the book as I went through it with some guys. This was one of the most helpful resources along with Tom Schreiner’s Commentary (and my personal favorite commentary, Matthew Poole’s Bible Commentary).

I think the actual title for this, rather than ‘Exhorting one another’ is: ‘Hebrews: The Radiance of His Glory’. It consists of fifty-two sermons that Pastor John delivered over 18 months in 1995 & 1996.

Awesome Study of the Book of Hebrews.

Exceptional expository preaching! Hebrews explains that we are indeed heirs of Christ. He is our High Priest. The sacrifice has been made. We live, and survive trials, or not, by faith.
