"The people of Israel shall camp each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' houses. They shall camp facing the tent of meeting on every side." The twelve tribes are arranged in precise formation around the tabernacle, three on each side. Judah leads from the east, where the sun rises. In this chapter, we see that Israel's entire existence is oriented around the presence of God in their midst. The camp is not just military organization; it is a theological statement: the LORD is at the center of His people.  The Rev. Benjamin Meyer, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Condit, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 2.  To learn more about Hope Lutheran, visit hopelutheransunbury.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  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.

“Pray one for another.” — James 5:16 As an encouragement cheerfully to offer intercessory prayer, remember that such prayer is the sweetest God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ is of this character. In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain […]

"Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel." Before Israel can march toward the Promised Land, God commands Moses to count every man twenty years old and upward, able to go to war. This is no mere administrative task; it is preparation for holy battle. Each tribe is numbered, each family accounted for, because the LORD fights for His people and knows them by name. Yet this military registry also points forward to a greater census: the Lamb's book of life, where every believer is numbered among those for whom Christ has won the victory.  The Rev. Ross Shaver, Church Planter and Theological Educator LCMS OIM, Santiago, DR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 1. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report.

In week three of The Church Imagined series, we explored another identity-shaping image of the church in the New Testament: the Royal Priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us that the church is not a building or an organization, but a holy people chosen by God, called out of darkness, and set apart to proclaim His praises.By looking back the role of the Jewish priesthood in the Old Testament, we saw how Jesus fulfilled the priestly system once and for all as our Great High Priest. Because of His death, resurrection, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God has now made the church itself His royal and holy priesthood.The sermon focused on three key aspects of this calling: priestly clothing, priestly duties, and priestly portion. From Colossians 3, we were challenged to “put on” spiritual clothing such as compassion, humility, forgiveness, and love. We were also reminded  that just as the priests of old had duties, we too as a royal priesthood have responsibilities today: praying and interceding for others, caring for God's temple by loving one another and using our spiritual gifts, and teaching the Word of Christ through both instruction and example. Finally, we reflected on our greatest inheritance as God's priests: the Lord Himself, our portion now and for eternity.As Christ's church, we are a royal priesthood so that we may proclaim the praises of the One who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. May this truth shape how we live and serve together!

We Need A Great High Priest (Hebrews 5:1-6)

Preacher:  Pastor Tim Van Lant Passage:  Hebrews Series:  Greater: The Supremacy of Christ in Hebrews For more information about Rocky Mountain Presbyterian Church, please visit us at rmpca.org.   

Christians today struggle with the inclination to drift away from what they believe and why they believe it. The main message of Hebrews brings us back to God's truth—that Jesus, the eternal son of God, is supreme and sufficient. And that understanding can help us stay securely moored to Him and His Word.This is the 4th message in Jill Briscoe's 9-message series “Drifting Away,” in which she explores practical ways we can endure and persevere in our faith, while deepening our relationship with Jesus.

Someday, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Lord Jesus Himself will descend from heaven and with a voice that sounds like a war trumpet call His church from the earth to be with Him forever.

Matthew 2:1–12 reminds us that truly wise people keep seeking Jesus until they find Him, even when the path is long, surprising, or humble. The Magi likely came from Persia, guided first by Scripture (Daniel, Numbers 24:17) and then by a God-given “star” that behaved more like the Old Testament pillar of fire—personal, precise, and faithful. Herod's fear contrasts with their worship; when they finally meet the Child—not in a palace but in a simple house—they fall down before Him and offer treasures that preach: gold for the King, frankincense for our Great High Priest, and myrrh for the Prophet who would suffer and save. God still leads seekers this way—through His Word, by His Spirit, to His Son—and obedience always ends in joy. - Ed Rea - Sunday, December 21, 2025

God is gracious in providing the office of the Priesthood to atone for sin and to bring the people up to God. Jesus fulfills the office of the Priesthood in His Sacrifice on the cross to atone for sin and His daily intercession for the saints. He is our Great High Priest forever!

In this message from The Golden Christmas series, we explore the powerful truth of Jesus as our Great High Priest through Hebrews 4 and beyond. Unlike flawed human priests, Jesus is perfect, compassionate, and personal. He doesn't stand distant from our pain—He understands our weakness, carries our burdens, and acts on our behalf.

This message explores the gift of frankincense brought by the Wise Men and how it reveals Jesus as our Great High Priest. Just as certain scents mark special moments, frankincense in Scripture symbolized holiness, prayer, and access to God. It declared that Jesus came not only to rule as King, but to reconcile humanity to God through His priestly role. From the very beginning, His identity and mission were recognized as One who would bring heaven and earth together.Drawing from Hebrews, the sermon highlights Jesus as the High Priest we have always needed—sinless, compassionate, and fully able to sympathize with our weaknesses. Unlike earthly priests, His work was finished once for all, yet His intercession continues even now. Jesus still speaks on our behalf, extends mercy in our need, and opens confident access to the throne of grace. The gift of frankincense ultimately calls us to worship fully, pray boldly, and live with assurance, knowing our High Priest is alive and actively working for us.

This week, Pastor Alex dives deep into the profound theme of Jesus as our Great High Priest. We trace humanity's ancient problem—the universal separation caused by sin—and contrast it with the temporary covering offered by the Old Testament sacrificial system. Discover why Jesus's perfect and final sacrifice secured eternal redemption for all of us. This essential spiritual guidance explains the new covenant that cleanses our consciences, restores us to the presence of God, and shapes the way we approach life and faith. Learn how to stop settling for simply knowing of God and start being with Him.In this message, you will learn:- Understand Humanity's Deepest Need: Grasp why sin is a fundamental problem that separates us from God's presence, impacting every relationship in our lives.- Grasp the Perfection of Jesus's Sacrifice: Discover why the Old Testament system was a temporary stop-gap and how Jesus, as our Great High Priest, made the once-for-all sacrifice for eternal redemption.- Experience Cleansed Conscience: Move beyond a temporary "covering" of sin to the complete "cleansing" of your conscience, allowing you to approach God boldly and receive His mercy and grace.- Live in the New Covenant: Explore what it means to be united with Christ in His death and resurrection, resulting in a new life that is both started and sustained by the gospel.- Reclaim God's Presence: Find out how Jesus's life, death, and resurrection means you don't have to settle for just being around God, but can be with Him and know Him fully.Scripture References: Hebrews 1:1-3, Psalm 23:3-6, Romans 3, James 2:10, Hebrews 9, 1 Peter 3:18, Galatians 2:20, Romans 6, Hebrews 4:14-16, 1 Corinthians 11.

In Jesus we have an effective priest who has given us complete access to God. Through Jesus, we can hold fast to our confession of faith.   Jesus is the Eternal Priest Who Saves Us Completely (Heb. 7:1-28) In Genesis, Melchizedek foreshadows Jesus' character, ministry, and supremacy.

"We don't stand outside the palace, but we've been invited right into God's throne room." - Pastor Steve Dow The High Priesthood and Healing Power of Frankincense The Christmas gift of frankincense profoundly declares that Jesus is our Great High Priest for all eternity, the one who is our access to the throne room of God. Pastor Steve Dow explores how frankincense, in its Old Testament connection to the altar of incense, represents worship, prayer, and the very presence of God. This message reveals that through Christ, we can boldly approach God's throne and experience the healing power of the High Priest in three key areas: shame, broken relationships/bitterness, and anxiety/fear. Discover how bringing your frankincense—your worship, prayer, and surrender—brings down God's peace and healing presence into your broken life. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

Sermon Outline Christ Our Priest: The Word Incarnate December 7, 2025 Hebrews 4:14-16 Pastor Tony Felich Sermon Application [file] ----more---- Hebrews 4:14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Since Christ is our merciful and mighty High Priest, we can persevere by coming confidently to His throne of grace. I. The role of priests II. How Jesus compares III. Two exhortations in light of Jesus our Great High Priest: a. Hold fast to our confession (in Christ) b. Draw near to the throne of grace

Ever feel the tug to retreat to what feels safe and familiar when life gets hard? We sit with a community that knew that pull well—Jewish believers near Jerusalem, pressured to trade the risk of following Jesus for the predictability of rituals and rules. Hebrews chapter 4 offers a bracing alternative: not more striving, but a living Word that cuts through our defenses and a Great High Priest who turns exposure into healing.We start with the scalpel. “The word of God is living and active,” sharper than any two-edged sword. When Scripture lays us bare, it separates what we can't—thoughts from intentions, appearances from motives—so God can remove what harms and restore what's healthy. Then comes the pivot that changes everything: the One who sees everything is the same One who welcomes us. Jesus has “passed through the heavens” as our Great High Priest, not standing in endless effort like the priests of old, but seated because the sacrifice is complete.From there we explore how Jesus's sympathy becomes our courage. Tempted in every way we are, yet without sin, He knows the weight we carry and the cracks where we break. That sympathy is strong enough to help us in real time. We also unpack the role of priest versus prophet and why it matters that Jesus, from the tribe of Judah and not Levi, represents us before the Father according to a higher order Hebrews will soon reveal. The takeaway is practical and personal: hold fast your confession because Jesus is better—better than angels, Moses, and any system that promises peace through performance.The invitation lands with urgency and comfort: draw near with confidence to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. If striving to please yourself or some religious organization has left you tired, come close to Jesus. If hidden motives keep sabotaging your peace, let the Word do its careful work. And if you're tempted to go back to what once felt safe, look again at the One who knows you, stands for you, and never stops interceding.

In this passage, the author encourages us to have courage as we enter the presence of God because we have a Great High Priest in Christ Jesus.

In a world constantly challenging your faith, Hebrews 4 urges believers to hold fast because of who Jesus is. As our Great High Priest, He sympathizes with our weakness and gives us bold access to God's throne of grace. When you're tempted to waver, remember: Christ has given you everything you need to stand firm.

A Great High Priest, higher than the order of Melchizedek! A deeper dive into Hebrews always does the soul good!
