		<description>Hebrews is a book about persevering in faith. Over and over the author of Hebrews points us to Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith. We need to hear its message today just as much as the first congregation that heard this sermon. They were struggling with hanging on to outmoded Old Testament forms and they kind of longed to go back. In response, the author of Hebrews is saying to them, “No, Jesus is better.” We too have similar struggles in our own day and age. We often struggle with letting go of past forms of thinking that we had before we were Christians and we often give into current ideas that are floating around in the world or set our hearts on current desires of this world instead of being transformed by the renewing of our mind. These things stunt our growth and they rob us of much of the joy and the satisfaction of the Christian life</description>
