As we wrap up the series, we will follow Paul’s lead and call our men to live out the truths contained in this book within the context of their faith community. Paul is writing to believers, not a single, solitary Christian.

While many of us would acknowledge and confirm the concept of freedom in Christ, we still struggle with understanding what it looks like in everyday life. In this chapter, Paul points out the human tendency to view justification as our responsibility.

This lesson is all about God’s provision for our ongoing transformation into Christlikeness. Not only does He provide the basis of our salvation, but He provides everything we need for our ongoing sanctification.

In this chapter, Paul continues to unpack the unique and uncompromising nature of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. He is battling the Judaizers who are attempting to add law-keeping to the gospel message.

In this lesson we want to establish the historical context of the New Testament church and its internal struggle to reconcile the grace made possible in Christ and the more legalistic requirements found in the Mosaic Law.

In this introductory lesson, we will set up the background to the letter, including authorship, audience, theme, and historical context. The goal will be to establish the identity of Paul, the cultural context taking place in Galatia, and the doctrinal conflict he is trying to address.

The author wraps up his letter with a call for his readers to live up to their calling as God’s sons and daughters. Their faith in the promises of God should produce hope for tomorrow but also fruit in the here and now.

Having visited the faith of the Old Testament saints, the author now calls on his readers to exhibit that same kind of faith amid their own set of trials and struggles. This was a call to remain steadfast in the face of obstacles and unwavering in their commitment to the promises of God.

This week’s lesson continues our focus on what has come to be known as “The Great Hall of Faith.” Chapter 11 of Hebrews is a powerful reminder of the centrality of faith in God’s grand redemptive plan.
