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. Whether you are seeking a deeper understanding of biblical theology or looking for practical spiritual encouragement, this study reveals how resting in Christ's finished work brings true mercy, grace, and peace in your time of needTeaching Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G6EjH-SZuAKWwgcsNdrDiTvRaFedYj2d_YHyIErtpQQ/edit?usp=sharing

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.

Today we will be looking at the book of Hebrews (SUNDAY 06/14 /26) Today's Sermon will look at Hebrews 7:11-28 "What Do We Really Need? Jesus, Our Great High Priest"

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.

This week we are continuing our study of Hebrews 4 where we will see a new theme being taught: Jesus the Great High Priest. This passage can be difficult because it talks about Jesus in a way that may feel foreign to us. To help us we will answer two questions: what does it mean that Jesus is our great high priest? And, how should we respond in light of this truth? Hebrews 4:14-16

In this sermon on Hebrews 4:14-16, Pastor Keith encourages the church of Christ the Great High Priest to hold fast to the confession of our faith-the confession that proclaims Jesus had atoned for our sins on the cross and rose victoriously to ascend to the right hand of the Father passing through the heavens. He reminds us that we can draw near to God's throne of grace through our great high priest who can suffer with us, having gone through all human experiences, temptations yet without sin.

Today we will be looking at the book of Hebrews (SUNDAY 05/31/26) Today's Sermon will look at Hebrews 6:13-20 "Jesus, Our Great High Priest: How Melchizedek Prefigures Christ"

Let's take a look at those well-known verses in Hebrews 4:14-16, and we'll focus on verse 16. It paints Jesus as our Great High Priest, someone who truly gets what we're going through. Since He was tempted but stayed sinless, it gives us the courage to go to God's throne of grace, asking for mercy and help when we need it.

What if you truly believed God's throne is no longer a place of judgment for you—but a place of help? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks the invitation of Hebrews 4:16: “Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence…” Through Jesus Christ, the door is open for every believer to come boldly to God—not to be shamed, but to receive mercy and find grace exactly when you need it most. Dr. Youssef reminds us why this confidence is possible: Jesus is our Great High Priest—He understands us, sympathizes with our weakness, and was tempted in every way without sin (Hebrews 4:15). He is not waiting to condemn you; He is waiting to strengthen you—day after day—so you can overcome temptation, endure hardship, and walk in righteousness. As you come to the throne by the blood of Christ, trusting Him for salvation and ongoing transformation, you are equipped to face whatever comes. The Holy Spirit indwells you and empowers you to say no to sin and yes to obedience—because grace isn't merely pardon; it's power. Prayer: Great High Priest, thank You for allowing me to approach the throne of grace with confidence. May I never take such a gift for granted but humbly come before You daily with my praises and petitions. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Ephesians 3:12). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

What does prayer actually accomplish? Why can believers approach God with confidence? In this powerful sermon from Dwelling House Church, Pastor Jeremiah Genin unpacks the incredible truth that Jesus is our Great High Priest—and what that means for our prayer life, access to God, and relationship with His presence. Walking through Ezekiel 48, Hebrews 4, and the tearing of the veil at the crucifixion of Jesus, this message reveals how Jesus opened the way for believers to boldly enter the throne room of grace. Pastor Jeremiah explains the significance of the temple, the Holy of Holies, and how Christ's finished work changed everything forever. This sermon is a powerful reminder that prayer is not about striving, begging, or trying to earn God's attention. Because of Jesus, believers now have direct access to the Father. Whether you've struggled with prayer, felt distant from God, battled disappointment, or simply want a deeper understanding of biblical prayer and intimacy with God, this message will strengthen your faith and encourage you to draw near to Him again. Dwelling House Church is a Spirit-filled, Christ-centered church passionate about the presence of God, biblical truth, worship, discipleship, and helping people encounter Jesus in a real and transformative way. If you're searching for sermons about prayer, the presence of God, Jesus our High Priest, the tearing of the veil, intimacy with God, Spirit-filled Christianity, or biblical teaching about prayer and grace, this message will encourage and equip you. This sermon answers: 1. What does it mean that Jesus is our Great High Priest? 2. Why can Christians boldly approach God in prayer? 3. How did the tearing of the veil change our access to God forever?

Sunday, May 10, 2026 - Hebrews 4:14-5:10 | The sermon presents Jesus as the compassionate, sinless high priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses and fulfills priestly duty by offering perfect atonement for sinners.

In this sermon, we walk through John 17 and see what Christ is doing even now—interceding for His people. Throughout Scripture, prophets spoke for God, kings ruled under God, and priests stood before God on behalf of the people. In Jesus, all three find their fulfillment, and here we are given a glimpse into His role as our great High Priest.As He prepares for the cross, Jesus lifts His eyes to the Father and prays. The hour has come—the moment all of history has been moving toward, the plan of redemption set before the foundation of the world now unfolding.Key Points:1. His Posture of Humility2. His Prayer for Glory3. His Total AuthorityThrough this passage, we are invited to see Christ as the One who bears His people on His heart, accomplishes the Father's will, and continues to intercede on our behalf.

The Book of Psalms Psalm 133 Psalm 133 shows that true unity among God's people is both beautiful and sacred, rooted in what is good, flowing from Christ our Great High Priest, and sustained by God's blessing. This unity is grounded in truth, expressed through life in Christ, and leads to the fullness of eternal life with God.

"He is finished being your sacrifice but He will never be finished being your priest" Hebrews 4:12-16

MESSAGE | Dr. Brian Payne (Pastor) "The Word of God and the Great High Priest of God" Hebrews 4:12-16 1 | The Word Exposes We Have a Great Need for a Great High Priest (v. 12-13)   2 | The Word Teaches US We Have a Great High Priest for Our Great Need (v. 14-16)

Leviticus 8-10 | JD Summers Because God is holy, we need faithful priestly ministry. God prescribes this ministry and also enables it. He blesses priestly ministry when done in obedience to his will, and judges it when it's performed unfaithfully. Preeminently, though, God provides the ultimate priestly ministry through his Son, Jesus Christ, who is not only our Great High Priest, but also our perfect sacrifice, freely offered on our behalf. Let us rejoice in this great grace and boldly approach the throne to receive mercy from our loving High Priest.

We are consistently asking the question of how to fix ourselves and the world around us. This text shows us how Jesus, our Great High Priest helps answer these questions through saving and sustaining His people.

April 12, 2026 In this week's sermon, Pastor Mike Moses unpacks how Jesus was appointed as Great High Priest, superior to every Old Covenant High Priest.

"Let them marry whom they think best, only they must marry within the clan of the tribe of their father." The Book of Numbers closes with a practical question about inheritance and tribal identity. When the daughters of Zelophehad prepare to marry, their inheritance could pass to another tribe. In this final chapter, we see that God cares about the details of His people's lives and the preservation of their inheritance. This earthly concern points us to the eternal inheritance that can never be lost, kept in heaven for those who belong to Christ. The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 36. 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.

"The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger." God commands Israel to establish forty-eight cities for the Levites, including six cities of refuge where those who have accidentally killed another may flee. In this chapter, we encounter a profound picture of the Gospel. The manslayer must remain in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest, after which he may return home free. Christ, our great High Priest, has died, and in Him we find eternal refuge from the judgment our sins deserve.  The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor emeritus in Ft. Meyers, FL, joins the Rev.

"This is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance." Before Israel sets foot in Canaan, God defines its precise boundaries. Every border is established by divine decree, and leaders are appointed to oversee the distribution. In this chapter, we see that God's gifts are not vague promises but concrete realities with defined limits. The Promised Land was real geography for real people, just as our inheritance in Christ is a real kingdom prepared for those who trust in Him. The Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, host of Thy Strong Word, goes solo to study Numbers 33 and 34. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report.

"We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance." The tribes of Reuben and Gad see the lush pastureland east of the Jordan and request to settle there. Moses fears a repeat of the faithless spies, but these tribes promise to lead Israel into battle before returning to their chosen territory. In this chapter, we learn that receiving God's blessings does not exempt us from serving alongside our brothers and sisters. The body of Christ advances together.  The Rev.

"Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites." In one of the most difficult chapters of Scripture, God commands Israel to execute judgment on Midian for leading them into idolatry and sexual immorality at Baal Peor. The war is total, the plunder is divided, and purification rites cleanse those who fought. This chapter confronts us with the holiness of God and the severity of sin. It also points forward to the final judgment when Christ will return to make all things right.  The Rev. Dr. Matthew Tassey, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Shawnee, OK, joins the Rev.

"If a man vows a vow to the LORD, he shall not break his word." In this chapter, we encounter detailed legislation about vows, particularly concerning women under the authority of fathers or husbands. While the cultural context differs from our own, the underlying principle endures: our words matter to God. Jesus Himself taught that our yes should be yes and our no should be no. This chapter calls us to integrity in speech and to the sober responsibility of those in authority.  The Rev. Kevin Yoakum, pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Riverview, FL, joins the Rev.

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation." The sacred calendar continues with the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths. The sheer number of sacrifices during Booths is staggering, reaching its climax on the seventh day before tapering on the eighth. In this chapter, we see Israel's entire year oriented around worship and atonement. These feasts find their fulfillment in Christ, who is our trumpet call, our atonement, and the one who tabernacles among us. The Rev.

"My offering, my food for my food offerings." God establishes the rhythm of Israel's worship through daily, weekly, monthly, and annual sacrifices. Each day, morning and evening, is framed with the aroma of burnt offerings. Sabbaths bring double portions and new moons mark the turning of months. In this chapter, we see that Israel's entire calendar was oriented around the worship of God. While these sacrifices could never fully satisfy for sin, they pointed forward to Christ, the Lamb of God who offered Himself once for all people. The Rev.

"Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son?" The five daughters of Zelophehad bring their case before Moses, and God Himself rules in their favor. Their father's inheritance will not be lost. Then Moses, having been told he cannot enter the land, requests a successor. Joshua is commissioned with the laying on of hands. In this chapter, we see God's care for the marginalized and His provision for leadership that will continue His work across generations.  The Rev.

"Among these there was not one of those listed by Moses and Aaron the priest." A new census is taken, and the contrast with the first is sobering. The entire generation that left Egypt has perished in the wilderness, except for Joshua and Caleb. Yet God's purposes have not failed. A new generation stands ready to inherit the promises. In this chapter, we see that God's faithfulness outlasts human unfaithfulness. His purposes march forward even when one generation fails to trust Him. The Rev.
