Hello all, I hope you are gaining something from the series as it’s time for the next episode of the Hebrews bible study and you can access it on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tHgL6j6m40

As usual the video will go live on my youtube channel at 12h00 Tuesday (08/03/2022) and if you attend at that time (you can set a reminder to do so) you can say hi on the chat and I will be there to wave back and answer any questions you may have. We are on Hebrews chapter 3 so get your bibles bookmarked.

In this session the two main themes are:
  1. Jesus our superior king (leader) and
  2. The second of the five solemn warnings.

This session was the most technically challenging of all so far. Things just did not work the way they should have and after trying five times to record, I managed to knock my glass of water all over my work surface…grrr.

Anyway, we all like bloopers so here is one of the lighter moments in the recording saga:

Session 2 deals with Jesus as superior to the Old Testament prophets but focuses on the first three verses of the book which culminate in the glorious statement that ‘the Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being’.

Join me for the Premier of the Hebrews bible study!

The Hebrews bible study is about to start! The first session will premier on YouTube Tuesday 15th February 2022 at 12h00 (noon) and here is the link: https://youtu.be/1vgy2oJ7GEs. You can go there NOW and set a reminder for Tuesday to enjoy the experience as a group.

This first session introduces the series and covers such things as the need for this study, who wrote the book and when, and the structure of its content.

The audio track is right here at the foot of this post and on all the major podcast platforms. A document setting out the structure of the book of Hebrews is HERE

This fascinating book contains several unique insights and also links the Old and the New Testaments. Moreover, it boldly declares the supremacy and centrality of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I do hope that you will come with me on this journey through the book and that you will invite others to join us.

See you there!

About Me

My name is Christopher Peppler and I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1947. While working in the financial sector I achieved a number of business qualifications from the Institute of Bankers, Damelin Management School, and The University of the Witwatersrand Business School. After over 20 years as a banker, I followed God’s calling and joined the ministry full time. After becoming a pastor of what is now a quite considerable church, I  earned an undergraduate theological qualification from the Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa and post-graduate degrees from two United States institutions. I was also awarded the Doctor of Theology in Systematic Theology from the University of Zululand in 2000.

Four years before that I established the South African Theological Seminary (SATS), which today is represented in over 70 countries and has more than 2 500 active students enrolled with it. I presently play an role supervising Masters and Doctoral students.

I am a passionate champion of the Christocentric or Christ-centred Principle, an approach to biblical interpretation and theological construction that emphasises the centrality of Jesus

I have been happily married to Patricia since the age of 20, have two children, Lance and Karen, a daughter-in-law Tracey, and granddaughters Jessica and Kirsten. I have now retired from both church and seminary leadership and devote my time to writing, discipling, and the classical guitar.
