Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio Hebrews 12:14-13:8: Living in an Unshakable Kingdom
Holiness. Brotherly love. Contentment. Hebrews calls us to live as those who belong to an unshakable kingdom. The author sharpens his focus: ‘Pursue peace… see to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God… offer worship that pleases Him.’ These verses are a call to live the faith we confess in community, in love, in steadfast trust in the Christ who never changes. Yet, the warning is clear: do not refuse Him who speaks.
The Rev. Ryan Kleimola, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 12:4-13:8.
For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn’t just another epistle—it’s the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we’ll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you’ve ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study.
Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
