Hebrews: Sermon Series and At-Home Study
This fall and winter, Good Samaritan is going to read, together as a church family, through Book of Hebrews as we continue to invite the Lord to align our community with the vision he has given us.
The Book of Hebrews is an intricately crafted argument for the supremacy of Jesus above all things. Because of this supremacy, we realize that Jesus himself is an “anchor for our souls.”
In trying times, what could be more comfortable than realizing that the God who is supreme over all things is actually for us? In this study, we’ll realize that nothing, except for Jesus, the God who is for us, is worth our faith and allegiance. In so doing, we’ll realize that, even as life throws us storms of all sizes, we have an anchor for our soul.

The three-fold approach:
At-Home Bible Study (see below): The at-home reading plan can be used in a variety of ways. You could use it for a personal devotional; you can use it with your family, reading and discussing first thing in the morning or after dinner; or you could get a couple of friends together and commit to meeting as a small group over the next five weeks to discuss and pray through the text.
Weekly Reflections: Each week, a reflection on the week’s readings will be posted to this page and included in our weekly e-news. These reflections will provide some unifying thoughts on the readings to guide your personal or group study.
Sunday Sermons: Our Sunday sermons will focus on key passages from the Epistle of James and provide detailed and practical exposition for understanding and living out the Word of God in our lives.
