Summary

The Book of Hebrews contains some of the most difficult passages in Scripture—warnings that cause people to feel fearful and lack assurance. How—in the face of such grave warnings—is Jesus our hope? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Nick Brennan look closely at two particular warning passages in Hebrews 5–6 and 10, considering what the writer intended and what implications these passages have for the church today. In the process, they discuss some differences between the Lutheran and Reformed traditions, our shared commitment to the gathered assembly of God’s people and the ministry of Word and Sacrament, and the need we all have for the gospel of Christ.

0:37.0	Five centuries ago in taverns and public houses across Europe, the masses would gather for
0:45.3	discussion and debate over the latest ideas sweeping the land.
0:49.9	From one such meeting place, a small Cambridge inn called the White Horse, the
0:54.3	reformation came to the English-speaking world.
0:57.3	Carrying on the tradition, welcome to the White Horse Inn.

1:16.2	I'm not understood.
1:17.6	Nobody I know really knows what it's like to suffer with fill in the blank.
1:25.0	And the last person who gets it is God,
1:28.0	because he's holy, righteous, just, and good.
1:33.5	That's kind of the problem, in fact.
1:35.6	What if I bring him my problems?
