Hebrews: Standing Firm in Christ

by Jon Nielson

How do we stand firm in faith? Throughout the ages, Christians have experienced persecution, spiritual apathy, and suffering of all kinds. The book of Hebrews captures our deep struggles, and, with a message of hope and warning, points us to the surpassing supremacy of Jesus Christ. Designed for groups and individuals, this Reformed Expository Bible Study gives users the resources they need to delve into God’s Word and understand and apply it for themselves, leading to biblical transformation. Background information and commentary lay the groundwork before readers observe and analyze the Scripture text. Each of the thirteen lessons makes connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology before concluding with a section for personal application and a prayer prompt.

Pastor Nielson causes his readers to think and dig deeply into the Word. He opens each lesson with a brief summary of the passage called "The Big Picture". The lesson is then divided into sections including questions that allows the student to make observations, this is called "Observing the Text". "Understanding the Text" comes next, which involves answering a more indepth set of questions. The sections called "Bible Connections" encourages the student to read and study other passages of Scripture. Nielson then moves to "Theology Connections" which references creeds and confessions of the faith. This provided the opportunity for lively conversations and excellent discussion. Then "Applying the Text" includes open-ended questions to get people thinking deeply about how the Bible transforms one's life. Finally, the "Prayer Prompt" invites Bible students to respond to what they are learning with petitions, praise and gratitude.
