Better Things // Better: A Study of the Book of Hebrews

The Bible is God’s Word—from Genesis to Revelation. It is inspired, trustworthy, and just as applicable to us today as it was when it was written. But did you know that when Jesus appeared on the scene, it wasn’t just a new chapter in the same story Scripture had been telling? There’s a reason for the split between Malachi and Matthew. From the moment Jesus’ first cry was heard in Bethlehem, it all changed. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were all the end of one story and the start of a better one—with a better covenant based on better promises, leading to a better relationship with God. And the promise that Jesus offered still stands: a promise to change lives for forever and for the better.

Jesus wants to change our lives for forever and for the better. And while Christian books, Bible studies, and theology podcasts are nice—they actually aren’t the main way our life starts to get better. Our new covenant faith in Jesus actually activates the most when we act like Jesus the most—investing our time, talent, and treasure in the people around us.
