The Weakness of the Law

MESSAGE - Pastor Dale Thiele

Hebrews: The Greatness of Christ

The Weakness of the Law 

  • The Inadequacy of Sacrifices
  • Discerning God’s Will
  • Christ’s Obedience as Our Substitute 

 Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read Hebrews 10:1-10. What does the writer intend to communicate by using the word “shadow” in verse 1? What are the “good things to come”?
  2. Why are the OT sacrifices inadequate? For what are they adequate?
  3. Consider the quote of Psalm 40 in verses 5-7. As a Psalm of David, what were these verses communicating? How does Christ fulfill them?
  4. What is the will of God regarding covenant relationship with his people and sacrifices? Are you in the will of God?
  5. What is the good news found in verse 10? How does the finality of Christ’s sacrifice impact our sanctification?
