    Jesus Is Better | The Way Is Open

    The Way Is OpenScripture: Hebrews 8:1–6 | Runtime: 11 min When Lisa moved to McKinney in 2001, she put up with years of road construction. Only later did she realize the engineers had drawn two plans: the finished highway and the temporary lanes that kept traffic moving while it was built. This week Hebrews gets to its main point. The tabernacle was good, but it was temporary, and Jesus has opened the permanent way to God. In this episode: “Now the main point of what we are saying is this”: what Hebrews 8 through 10 is building towardWhat the tabernacle meant to Israel: the place where heaven and earth meetCopy and shadow: why “the pattern shown you on the mountain” means the earthly sanctuary was made to reflect something greaterEvery high priest has something to offer, and Jesus does tooThree things that are better: a better ministry, a better covenant, and better promises Reflection: What have you been treating as more important than the One who has already made a way for you into God’s presence? What would it look like today to bring your attention back to Him? Engage God Daily Podcast — Jesus is Better: A Study of Hebrews, Week 7. Hosted by Lisa Scheffler.

    Jesus Is Better | He Always Lives

    He Always LivesScripture: Hebrews 7:23–28 | Runtime: 8 min Priests died. The office was bought and traded. The temple itself may have been gone. To a disoriented church, Hebrews offers some of the most reassuring words in the letter: Jesus lives forever, and no one will ever take His place. In this episode: How political corruption and a possibly destroyed temple shaped what these believers were facingWhat it means that Jesus is able to "save completely," all the way to the end of the journey"He always lives to intercede for them": Jesus is praying for you right nowBack to Tuesday's bread and wine, and Scot McKnight on the Lord's Supper as entering the Holy of Holies againThe week in one line: a priest who does not die, an oath God will not revise, a hope anchored where He has already gone Reflection: Where do you doubt you'll make it all the way? The next time you take the Lord's Supper, come to the table remembering your High Priest is alive. Engage God Daily Podcast — Jesus is Better: A Study of Hebrews, Week 6. Hosted by Lisa Scheffler.

    Jesus Is Better | Sworn In

    Sworn InScripture: Hebrews 7:11–22 | Runtime: 9 min If God established Israel's priesthood through Aaron, why appoint a different kind of priest? Had God changed His mind? Lisa follows Hebrews' answer and returns to the oath that started the week. In this episode: What "perfection" means in Hebrews: not flawless behavior, but arriving at the goal of bringing people into God's presenceWhy priests subject to death could never bring anyone all the way homeJesus, from the tribe of Judah, qualified not by ancestry but by "the power of an indestructible life"The better hope by which we draw near to God, and the anchor from Monday showing up againGod's second oath, spoken to His Son, and what it means that Jesus is the guarantor of a better covenant Reflection: Where is it hard right now to believe God is still working out His purposes? Spend some time today worshiping the living Jesus who guarantees your future. Engage God Daily Podcast — Jesus is Better: A Study of Hebrews, Week 6. Hosted by Lisa Scheffler.

    Jesus Is Better | A Priest Before the Priests

    A Priest Before the PriestsScripture: Hebrews 7:4–10 | Runtime: 9 min Two small details from Genesis 14: a tenth given and a blessing received. The author of Hebrews builds his whole case on them, and every point he scores for Melchizedek, he scores for Jesus. In this episode: Why Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek, with no law commanding it, matters"The lesser is blessed by the greater" and what it tells us about who holds the higher positionHow ancient family-first thinking explains the strange claim that Levi paid the tenth through AbrahamWhy the Levitical priesthood wasn't a failed first attempt, and why Melchizedek's order is actually olderDavid and Psalm 110:4: two witnesses on either side of Israel's priesthood saying the same thing Reflection: When you feel unworthy to approach God, are you trying to earn your way back, or trusting the High Priest who brings you there?

    Jesus Is Better | A Priest Out of Nowhere

    A Priest Out of NowhereScripture: Genesis 14:17–20; Hebrews 7:1–3 | Runtime: 8 min Four verses in Genesis. A king who is also a priest, who brings out bread and wine, blesses Abraham, and vanishes from the story. Lisa finally unpacks the name Hebrews keeps dropping: Melchizedek. In this episode: The backstory: Abraham's rescue of Lot and the two kings who met him on the way homeWhat Melchizedek's names mean: king of righteousness and king of peaceWhy a book full of family trees says nothing about this man's parents, birth, or death"Resembling the Son of God": why Jesus is the original and Melchizedek is the early glimpseGod wasn't improvising when Jesus arrived. The longing for a better priest was in the story from the beginning. Reflection: When it's hard to see what God is doing, how can remembering His faithfulness in the past strengthen your trust in Him today?

    Jesus Is Better | The God Who Cannot Lie

    The God Who Cannot LieScripture: Hebrews 6:13–20 | Runtime: 11 min "Do you swear to tell the truth?" We make oaths when a promise alone doesn't feel like enough. So why would God ever need to swear one? Lisa opens Week 6 with Abraham's long wait and the God who bound Himself to His own word. In this episode: The week ahead: Abraham, Melchizedek, and an argument about priests, promises, and oaths (bring your teeth, it's solid food)How God met Abraham again and again in Genesis, then swore an oath in Genesis 22 that had never happened before in the biblical storyWhy oaths mattered in the ancient world, and what it means that God, with no one greater, swore by HimselfScholar Amy Peeler on the anchor that moves: a hope lodged not in our circumstances but behind the curtain in God's presenceJesus as our forerunner, who has already gone ahead of us Reflection: What are you waiting on right now? Where is uncertainty making it hard to trust God's character? Bring that honestly to Him today. Engage God Daily Podcast — Jesus is Better: A Study of Hebrews, Week 6. Hosted by Lisa Scheffler.

    Jesus Is Better | Convinced of Better Things

    Convinced of Better ThingsScripture: Hebrews 6:9–12 | Runtime: 6 min After a sharp correction and a serious warning, the author's very next words are "dear friends." It's the only time in the whole sermon he addresses his listeners that way. Lisa closes the week with a pastor's reassurance. In this episode: Why the author is convinced of better things for this church, and the evidence he sees in their love for God's people"God is not unjust. He will not forget." The God who sees everything, whose gaze exposed us earlier, now comforts usHow the word "lazy" bookends the section, echoing the sluggishness named in chapter 5What a good pastor does: he warns seriously, then says he believes you can respond Reflection: Read verse 10 slowly, as though it were written about you. What quiet faithfulness has gone unnoticed by everyone but God? Up Next: Next week, the author names the example he's had in mind all along, Abraham, and finally returns to Melchizedek.

    Jesus Is Better | The Same Rain

    The Same RainScripture: Hebrews 6:4–8 | Runtime: 9 min These are some of the strongest and most feared words in Hebrews. Lisa slows down to show what the warning describes, who it's meant to protect, and why the rain was never the problem. In this episode: Everything these people had received before the warning: enlightenment, the heavenly gift, the Holy Spirit, the goodness of God's WordHow gifts worked in the ancient world, and why publicly disowning the Giver was unthinkableWhat falling away is not: doubt, hard questions, struggling with sin, or a dry seasonA word for tender consciences: if you're worried you've wandered too far, that concern shows you still careThe picture of the soil, and the question about coming back that the author leaves open Reflection: God's grace has been raining on your life. What's growing? Where do you see more trust, obedience, love, or courage than you did a year ago?
