|
| The Fruits of Discipline: Hebrews 12:9-13 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

|
| Our Need for Discipline: Hebrews 12:3-8 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, November 26, 2018 |

| MP3 (duration 00:31:08) |
|
| Faith that Responds in Obedience: Hebrews 11:28-31 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, November 5, 2018 |
| The most important question concerning Christian practices is: What has God ordained? The Israelites kept the Passover and were saved because God ordained the Passover for them. We also discuss Rahab who believed in the God of Israel and was saved. |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, October 29, 2018 |

|
| Abraham Believes God's Promises: Hebrews 11:8-12 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, October 8, 2018 |
| Abraham exemplifies the type of faith that God wants us to have: faith in God and His promises. Preaching God's word is important to the church so that His flock is constantly reminded about God and His promises so they have an object for their faith. |
| MP3 (duration 00:28:39) |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, September 24, 2018 |
| This section covers God's creation not only of the world, but the "ages." The story of Cain and Abel shows us that we must come to God on His terms, not our own. We then discuss what it means to believe that God exists and that God rewards believers. |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

| Broadcast Monday, September 10, 2018 |

| A Horrifying Possibility: Hebrews 10:26-31 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, August 20, 2018 |

| MP3 (duration 00:32:55) |
|
| "Once For All": Hebrews 10:8-14 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, August 13, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

|
| The Cleansed Conscience: Hebrews 9:11-14 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, July 16, 2018 |
| How Christ's once for all shed blood is superior to that of OT sacrificial animals and provides both propitiation and expiation. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from the inside out, so that we are fit to come before God in holy worship. |
| MP3 (duration 00:31:41) |
|
| Old Covenant Sacrifices Cannot Cleanse the Conscience: Hebrews 9:1-10 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, July 9, 2018 |
| This section of Hebrews describes the tabernacle and some of its furnishings to show that it was only provisional. It provided a continual reminder that though God was in their midst, He was holy and they were separated from Him by the veil. |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

| The Melchizedek Priesthood: Hebrews 7:5-14 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, April 30, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, April 16, 2018 |

| MP3 (duration 00:32:31) |
|
| Theological Issues About Apostasy: Hebrews 6:4-8 Part 2 |
| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, April 9, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, March 26, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, March 19, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
| Broadcast Monday, March 12, 2018 |

| Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel |
