Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

Alright, well this is going to be part four of a series we're doing through the New Testament

letter to the Hebrews.

From these lectures and teachings I gave many years ago when I served as a pastor at

And this teaching is based off of chapter six of the letter to the Hebrews, actually the

second half of chapter six.

It's the pastor's meditation on the nature of God's covenant promises.

And what it means for God's people to live as if God really meant what he said when

he made his covenant promises to bless all of the nations through Abraham.

So why is that such a big deal?

Why do promises that God made to somebody thousands of years ago?
