| 0:00.0 | Whatever the issue was, whoever wrote it and to whom it was written, the central passion |
| 0:05.0 | of this book is the supremacy of Christ. |
| 0:09.0 | What was R. C. Sprole referring to? Well, for the next few days on renewing your mind, he will be exploring the |
| 0:22.1 | letter to the Hebrews. In this letter, the author is relentless in his effort to reveal Christ |
| 0:28.8 | as greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, and the Levitical priests. And in Dr. Sprole's |
| 0:35.5 | themes from Hebrew series, he unpacks what this author says |
| 0:39.4 | about our great high priest and the drama of redemption. You'll hear three messages from this |
| 0:45.4 | 12 message series, so if you'd like access to the entirety of his teaching on Hebrews, when you |
| 0:51.2 | give a donation of any amount at renewinging Your Mind.org, we'll unlock |

| 1:47.0 | It has such a wealth of information that covers the whole scope of the history of redemption. |
| 1:54.0 | It's almost a capsule summary of the Old Testament as well as the focus on the way in which Christ fulfills all of that Old Testament |
