Something Greater is Here. Today is the final day of our “mark it up” series focused in the book of Hebrews. The purpose of this series was to provide a deeper study of God’s Word and encourage you to “mark up” your bibles. The book of Hebrews exalts the person and work of Jesus Christ and reminds us that He is greater.
