Pastor Joel explores the pattern of Old Testament priestly service before leading us to Hebrews, where Jesus is revealed as our Great High Priest. Discover how Christ's finished work calls us to a daily response of worship, surrender, and devotion as we offer our bodies to God as living sacrifices.

It's easy to get lost in the details when it comes to what the high priest was supposed to wear, but when you look closer it's a beautiful picture that points to Jesus. God shoulders the weight of our sin, He keeps us close to His heart. And our Great High Priest paid the debt for our sin once and for all! When the work was finished He sat down at the right hand of the Father, praise be to God!

From Sunday 7/12, CrossLife elder Andy DeBoer brings our next message in the Hebrews series. The passage today studies Jesus as the great High Priest. Andy explains how Jesus is the perfect representative to a holy God.

Stop trying to earn God's approval. Hebrews 4 says the Lord, Ruler of the universe, already knows your weaknesses, felt your temptations, and is inviting you to walk right into His presence anyway. Here is why you can come boldly to the throne of grace!

When Jesus healed a man who'd been blind since birth, why didn't everyone celebrate the miracle?

God continually shows up for the Israelites. He makes a way, provides for their needs, and invites them into His presence. Yet while Moses is on the mountain with God, the people grow tired of waiting, forget what God has done, and turn back to their old ways. Though God is a God of miracles and provision, His greatest gift is His presence. When we become focused only on what we want God to do, we can miss the beauty of who He is. Remember what He has done, and look for His presence. The tabernacle points to Jesus, the greater fulfillment of God's plan to dwell with His people. Jesus is the Door, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, and our Great High Priest who intercedes for us. Through Him, the veil has been torn, we have access to God, and we can walk with Him. Don't miss the greatest gift of all: His presence.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/GeYgYCFLEvcSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

Welcome to the worship service of Covenant Reformed Baptist Church in Easley South Carolina.

Because Jesus, the Son of God, has passed through the heavens as our great high priest, we are called to hold fast our confession and draw near to the throne of grace with confidence. Unlike every priest before Him, Christ is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, having been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sin. This sermon examines the qualifications of our High Priest from Hebrews 4:14–5:10: appointed by God after the order of Melchizedek, not self-exalted; acquainted with human frailty, offering up prayers with loud cries and tears; and perfected through suffering and obedience, becoming the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. In Christ we find mercy and grace to help in time of need.

Joshua BoydTabernacle Part 3 - The Altar of IncenseIn this message, we continue our journey through the Tabernacle, exploring the Altar of Incense—a small piece of furniture with enormous spiritual significance. God didn't include anything in the Tabernacle by accident. Every detail points us to Christ and reveals how we approach God's presence today. In This Episode Why God desired to dwell among His people from the very beginning.  The Tabernacle as a copy of the heavenly reality—not merely an Old Testament structure.  Why the Altar of Incense stood immediately before the Holy of Holies.  The significance of the continual burning incense and its connection to prayer.  How Jesus fulfills the role of our Great High Priest, giving believers direct access to the Father.  Why prayer is about relationship, not simply presenting requests. Key Scriptures Exodus 25:8  Exodus 30:1–10, 34–38  Leviticus 16  Psalm 141:2  Hebrews 3:4–6  Hebrews 4:14–16  Hebrews 8:5  Revelation 8:3–4  Matthew 6:9–13  Romans 3:25–26 Key Takeaways The Tabernacle reveals God's heart to live among His people.  The Altar of Incense represents the prayers of God's people continually rising before Him.  Prayer is holy because it is an invitation into fellowship with our Heavenly Father.  Jesus removed the veil, making direct access to God's throne possible for every believer.  Effective prayer begins with worship, reverence, and relationship—not merely a list of needs.  God's desire has always been to speak with His people, and He still invites us to hear His voice today.  Our prayers matter in heaven—they are precious, remembered, and presented before God's throne. Reflection Questions Is my prayer life centered more on requests or on relationship?  What distractions keep me from entering God's presence intentionally?  How can I make daily worship and fellowship with God a priority?  Am I approaching God through the access Jesus has provided with confidence and gratitude? Final ThoughtThe Altar of Incense reminds us that prayer is far more than asking God for things—it is the fragrance of an ongoing relationship with our Creator. Because of Jesus, we no longer stand outside the veil. We are invited to come boldly into God's presence, offering worship, thanksgiving, and heartfelt conversation with the Father who delights in being with His children.

Are you like the religious leaders in Jesus' day, failing to recognize Him despite His miraculous signs? They studied God's Word—so how could they be spiritually blind?

A bloody ear, thumb, and toe—Why?In the Old Covenant, only the natural offspring of Aaron, the high priest, could be included in the priesthood.

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let's hold firmly to our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let's approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 NASB “For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;  he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is clothed in weakness;  and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself, as well as for the people. And no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was. So too Christ did not glorify Himself in becoming a high priest, but it was He who said to Him, “You are My Son, Today I have fathered You”;  just as He also says in another passage, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of His humanity, He offered up both prayers and pleas with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His devout behavior.  Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.  And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,10 being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:1-10 NASB Jesus our Great High Priest is •           The Appointed One (Vs. 1-6) •           The Anointed One (Vs. 7-8) •           The Only One (Vs. 9) “And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:9-10 “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus…” 1 Timothy 2:5 NASB •           Who is Melchizedek? (Genesis 14)

This is part 2 of a study on the Book of Hebrews and hopes to develop our understanding of what it means for Christ to be our Great High Priest. 

This week we continue our series on the Book of Hebrews. Join us as we learn that God designed the high priesthood with compassion in mind, and that Jesus fulfills the role of Great High Priest perfectly and forever.

Joshua 20 shows us the mercy of God through the cities of refuge, where the endangered could run, tell the truth, receive protection, and wait for release. This sermon points us to Jesus, our greater refuge and Great High Priest, who shelters sinners and brings them home.

Brother Cole explores the symbolism of the high priest's garments in the Old Testament, especially on the Day of Atonement, and how these images point to Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest.

Discover the profound significance of Jesus Christ as our "Great High Priest" through this in-depth exploration of Hebrews 04.14-05.10. In this study, we contrast the traditional Old Testament Levitical priesthood—established through the lineage of Aaron—with the superior, eternal priesthood of Christ. Human high priests were divinely chosen from among the people to serve as intercessors and comforters for Israel. Jesus is the uniquely begotten Son of God who functions as our ultimate high priest in the timeless order of Melchizedek, offering a perfect, sinless, and permanent intercession from His heavenly seat at the right hand of the Father. By examining how Jesus fulfills these three essential priestly roles—being divinely chosen, acting as our perfect intercessor, and serving as our ultimate comforter—this message highlights His capacity to truly empathize with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way. This teaching provides a direct application for your daily walk, encouraging you to hold firmly to your faith and to approach God's throne of grace with absolute confidence.

I. The design of a priest's ministry is to enable others to dedicate themselves to God with thanksgiving for what God has done for them, vv14-15. II. The daily bread of a priest's ministry is provided for by God out of the gifts of the people of God, vv16-18. III. The demand of a priest's ministry is that he daily dedicate himself to God just as the people of God dedicate themselves to God, vv19-23. IV. The danger of a priest's ministry is that he become joyless and thankless in his service of God and the people of God, vv19-23.

In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us how Christ is perfectly qualified to be the great high priest that we need. Better than the priests of old, Jesus is the Son who learned obedience because of what he suffered, and he has become the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

Satan, the world, and our own flesh may condemn us, but we have a Great High Priest in heaven who is interceding on our behalf. Today, Sinclair Ferguson comes to one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible.
