"Jesus the Priest-King" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor C. Whitehead, Frye Farm Campus) Hebrews 7:11-22 If the old priesthood under the law could truly bring people to perfection, there would have been no need for another priest to come. But God introduced a new and better priesthood in Jesus – one not based on ancestry or law, but on the power of an indestructible life. Because of this, Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant, giving us a stronger and more certain hope in our relationship with God.

"Melchizedek the Priest-King" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor J. Hartland, Crossroads Campus) Hebrews 7:1-10 We are introduced to Melchizedek, the mysterious priest-king who foreshadows a greater priesthood than anything found in the line of Levi. By showing how even Abraham honored Melchizedek, the passage reveals that Jesus’ priesthood is greater, older, and more ultimate than the entire Old Testament system. Because of this, we can trust that Jesus stands as the true and final priest who brings us fully to God.

"God's Promise" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor C. Whitehead, Frye Farm Campus) Hebrews 6:9-20 As disciples of Jesus, we have a promise from God that we will inherit eternal life. We have an unshakable hope in the certainty of God’s Word that is an anchor for our soul that we cling to at all times and in all circumstances.

"Warning #2" | The Book of Hebrews

(Rick Conn, Interim Executive Director, Mt. Pleasant-Scottdale Campus) Hebrews 6:1-8 We can’t be content with an immature faith. John Wesley pursued and taught a vision for holiness of heart and life, sometimes called perfect love, sometimes called Christian perfection. It’s a beautiful vision of a life made whole by the holy love of God.

"Warning #1" | The Book of Hebrews

(Pastor C. Whitehead, Frye Farm Campus) Hebrews 5:11-14 We must continuously pursue maturity in the faith by engaging with God’s Word, becoming proper handlers of God’s Word, so that we can distinguish between good and evil.
