Bible Readings: Isaiah 43:22-28; Hebrews 11:1-40
Preacher: Ashley Davies
Christians are people who wait and hope. We don’t see everything that we have in Christ now – much is kept in heaven for us. This Sunday we are encouraged to look to Christ in whom we have all we need to persevere.

Hebrews 8
Bible Readings: Isaiah 43:1-7; Hebrews 7:26-8:13
Preacher: Peter Crickitt
Jesus is better! Better than anything we might try to replace Him with. In the passage today Jesus brings a better covenant: For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah (Hebrews 8:8) Now, in Christ, God’s people will love him and serve Him with all their heart.

Hebrews 7
Bible Reading: Hebrews 7:1-28
Preacher: David Newmarch
Jesus is better than the Jewish priesthood. The priest in ancient Israel had the wonderful task of helping God’s people draw near to him. He would offer sacrifices, teach the people God’s word and pray for them. Jesus advocates for us in heaven itself, sitting at the right hand of the Father.

Rest
Bible Readings: Isaiah 41:14-20; Hebrews 4:1-13
Preacher: Mark Glanville
Series: Jesus is Better!
Our lives are cluttered with busyness: appointments, sport, meals, phone calls, bed times, cleaning. Our lives are cluttered with the urgent and sometimes there is little room left for the beautiful. The words of the writer to the Hebrews, written 2000 years ago are pertinent for us: God invites us to enter His ‘rest’. In Hebrews Chapter 4 ‘rest’ is the word given to God’s future plan for the world . Sounds good eh?

Dangerous Distractions - Falling Away from Jesus
Bible Readings: Isaiah 41:1-13; Hebrews 3:1-19
Preacher: Mark Glanville
Series: Jesus is Better!
In different seasons of our Christian life, different passages of scripture become important. In difficult times for example we cherish Jesus’ words, ‘come to me all you who are weary…’ On the other hand at certain times in our lives a challenge is required. This Sunday at Tregear we are studying a confronting passage - a warning from the book of Hebrews, not to fall away from Jesus. There are times in all of our lives when we become lethargic in our attitude toward God, and even risk drifting away from Him. Hebrews Chapter 3 jolts us out of complacency; it confronts us with the greatness of Jesus, and then urges us to continue in Him for our whole lives.
