Pastor Marshall Ochs | January 1, 2023
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Hebrews 1. The letter to the Hebrews is a powerful study in the supremacy of Jesus. The author uses Old Testament scripture to argue for the lordship of Jesus over all things in our life. Chapter 1 is an example of the sovereignty of Jesus over angels, but his argument extends far beyond God’s messengers.

Reflect
Monday: Read Hebrews 1:1-4 & Psalm 2
What do these scriptures say about God and His Son, Jesus Christ?
What should our response be, knowing God communicates to us by His Son?
What is your response to knowing Jesus holds everything together?
Is there anything that has been ruling your life other than Jesus?
Tuesday: Read Hebrews 1:1-6 & reflect on 1:5-6 & 2 Samuel 7:1-17
Will you pray and ask God to reveal His Son’s superiority over all your struggles?
Wednesday: Read Hebrews 1:1-8 & reflect on 1:7-8 & Psalm 104
Will you meditate on the splendor and majesty of our King?
Thursday: Read Hebrews 1:1-12 & reflect on 1:9-12 & Psalm 102
Will you meditate on the truth that the Lord laid the foundation of the earth; the heavens are the work of His hands? Things of this world will perish, but He will remain. God is the same, and His years will have no end.
Friday: Read Hebrews 1:1-14 & reflect on 1:13-14 & Psalm 110
Jesus is exalted at the right hand of God. Will you pray and ask God to reveal the power of His anointed Son to you?
The author reminds the church that Jesus is above all things, including angels. Are there any “angels” in your life that hold the power or authority that belongs to Jesus?
May the truth of who Jesus is, penetrate our hearts and lives. May our prayer this week be to see, know and feel the superiority of Jesus in our lives.
