Jesus-Greater Than The Angels

Contributed by Ashley Benjamin on Feb 10, 2021

This sermon is a study from the Book of Hebrews on the supremacy of Christ Jesus. Who was Jesus? Was he an angel? The jewish community had lots of issues in understanding who the Son of God was. This sermon from Hebrews 1 and 2 shows that Jesus is greater than the angels.

Rather than a letter, it’s more like a homily or sermon. Many attribute the author to be Apollos given the Greek used in this book and his reference to ...read more
