Pastor Justin Karl preaches on Leviticus 8-15
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the holiest day in the biblicalcalendar, a time of fasting, repentance, and seeking God's mercy. In thisteaching, Dr. Kenny Russell reveals how every detail of Yom Kippur points toYeshua the Messiah as our Great High Priest and perfect sacrifice.Discover:· The High Priest's role inLeviticus and how Yeshua fulfills it once for all (Hebrews 9).· The prophetic meaning ofthe two goats, one sacrificed, one carrying sins away, and how Messiah embodiesboth (John 1:29, Isaiah 53).· Why Yeshua's blood doesn'tjust cover sin but removes it, giving us direct access to the Father (Hebrews10:10, Hebrews 4:16).· How believers today canapproach Yom Kippur with humility, repentance, and joy, knowing our redemptionis complete in Him.You'll also learn how to intercede for the lostsheep of the house of Israel:· Standing in the gap inprayer (Ezekiel 22:30).· Asking for eyes to beopened and the veil lifted (2 Corinthians 3:14-16).· Declaring God's covenantpromises (Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36, Romans 11).· Praying for repentance,protection from deception, and bold laborers for the harvest (Hosea 14, 2Thessalonians 2, Matthew 9:37-38).Romans 11 reminds us: “You do not support the root, but the root supports you.” Theroot of the olive tree is God's covenant with the patriarchs, fulfilled inYeshua, the life-giving source for Judea and Israel, and all who are graftedinto the commonwealth of Israel.Be encouraged: On Yom Kippur, we don't fear judgment - we rejoice in forgiveness throughthe finished work of Messiah!
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 10.19-22Jobey McGintyThe finished work of the Great High Priest has inaugurated a new and living way, granting us the audacious confidence to draw near to the Holy of Holies—not through our own fragile righteousness, but solely "by the blood of Jesus." This assurance is full and unwavering, a covenant sworn by God to Himself, securing our perseverance against every tribulation, persecution, and doubt.Our salvation is revealed to be imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, an inheritance so precious that the Father has Himself sealed it with the Holy Spirit as our eternal guarantee. Therefore, we are called to fan into flame the gift of God, dying to the self-preserving fear of the world and embracing a life of self-sacrificial love, for nothing—neither the darkness of the age nor the condemnation of our own heart—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Join Greg & Nathan as they continue their discussion in their series the Imago Dei. What if bearing God's image isn't just about who we are—but also about what we're called to do? In this third episode of The Imago Dei series, Greg and Nathan dive into the priestly role of humanity, asking: What does it mean that part of bearing God's image is being a priest? Drawing from key Scriptures like 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 2:15, and Exodus 19:5–6, they explore how every believer is invited to draw near to God—and to help others do the same. From Eden to the cross, from sacred temples to ordinary lives, the priestly calling runs deep: to intercede, to steward sacred space, and to carry God's presence into a broken world. In this episode, they discuss: The surprising priestly parallels in the Garden of Eden How Old Testament priests shape our understanding of spiritual life today Why prayer is more than a quiet moment—it's priestly work What it means to be part of a royal priesthood in Christ How Jesus, our Great High Priest, redefines our identity and mission And how living as priests impacts everything from our parenting to our pain Whether you're in ministry or the marketplace, a seasoned believer or exploring faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see your life as sacred—and your presence as a vessel of God's mercy.
How do you become such an amazing priesthood holder that they decide to name the priesthood after you?
Jewish converts might wonder if they are really safe without going to the Levitical priests at the Temple. The point here is to show that Jesus is a legitimate priest—not in the Levitical order, but in the order of Melchizedek. Jesus is the legitimate, promised priest who really is able to deal with our sin and bring us into the presence of God. We can have great confidence and comfort—and must not drift away from him.

After a section about searching to see if you are in the faith, the author of Hebrews reminds those who are in the faith that they have a high priest, Jesus the Great High Priest. He was went through our difficulties as a human and now is before the throne of God. You can bring your requests to this throne and find help in the nick of time.
Jesus offers us eternal rest—but we must take warning from the wilderness generation. We must listen and be faithful to him, responding in faith and obedience to his word. When we fail—as we do and will—our Great High Priest gives grace and help.

This passage from Matthew 22:34–40 shows the Pharisees again attempting to trap Jesus, this time with a theological test: which commandment is greatest? Rather than diminishing the law, Jesus distills its essence into two inseparable commands—love God fully with heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. These sum up all of Scripture and reveal that true obedience flows not from rigid rule-keeping but from love. The sermon explains how centuries of added traditions had shifted the law from devotion to ritual, while Jesus, as the Great High Priest, gives the ultimate interpretation and fulfillment of the law. His life and sacrifice embody perfect love for God and others, accomplishing what human effort never could. The Pharisees complicated faith, but Jesus simplified it, pointing to a relational, willful, and active love that transforms how we live. Through His finished work on the cross, believers are freed from striving under the law and invited into God's presence, empowered to love both Him and others sincerely.
This fall, Liberti Church launches a new sermon series: Holy God; Holy People - A Study of Leviticus. Often overlooked, the book of Leviticus is filled with laws, sacrifices, priests, and rituals that reveal God's holiness and His desire to dwell with His people. In this series, we'll see how Leviticus points us to Jesus Christ - our Great High Priest and final sacrifice - who makes a way for sinful people to live in the presence of a holy God. Listen weekly as we explore the seriousness of sin, the beauty of atonement, and the call to live set apart for God's glory.
The New Covenant: A Study of HebrewsWeek 4: Hebrews 4:14-5:10
It's time we become more aware of the priesthood that God set up - not man- which is maintained and operated by Jesus, our Great High Priest, who is in intercession for us but is also seated, meaning He has completed and accomplished everything it takes to purify our conscience and bring us back to our Father. He is in full time ministry, applying His own blood to the Mercy Seat in Heaven and also to your heart. This changes how we interact with God: Instead of cowering in fear of punishment or working hard to maintain our own righteousness, we approach the Living God with the confidence that Jesus has truly saved us to the uttermost because He constantly lives to make intercession for us.

an expository sermon on Hebrews 4:14-5:10 preached by Pastor Jordan Atkinson on August 31, 2025
Father Blackburn examines a portion of John 17, the Great High Priest Prayer of Jesus.
As God nears the end of His instructions on the Tabernacle, He instructs Moses on who should be selected as priests, what they should wear, and what they should do. Because Jesus is now the Great High Priest, and because Christ has called His followers to be a kingdom of priests, what God says about the priests in Exodus illustrates what Christ has done for His people and what His people should do for Him.

The brazen altar was the place of substitution for Israel. It was a figure of the cross of Christ. In the Old Testament economy, the sacrificer (one making the offering) had to identify himself with the sacrifice (animal) and be represented by a priest. Under the New Covenant, we must identify ourselves with Jesus in his death. He is our substitutionary lamb. His death was substitutionary. He died in our place. And He is our Great High Priest that represents us.

Join us as we welcome Pastor Jake Curtis as he shares with us. Jesus Christ “descended” and became what no other sacrifice could be; He, the Lamb of God, a the superior and perfect sacrifice for our sin. But even more, He rose to Life and “ascended” back into eternal glory as our superior and perfect Great-High Priest, offering what no other human priest could. He has become our life by offering us new life in Him; He is the LIFE who now sits upon His glorious throne of Grace, calling us to come to Him for all we need!
While the Levitical priests in the Old Testament offered repeated sacrifices to atone for sin, their work was never complete. Jesus, however, offered Himself as the perfect and final sacrifice—once for all—securing eternal redemption for those who trust in Him.He is not a distant or detached mediator. Jesus understands our weaknesses and intercedes for us with compassion and power.Join us as we explore the beauty and depth of what it means to have Jesus as our Great High Priest—perfect, compassionate, and eternally sufficient.
In Part 2 of this series, we explore the connection between the Day of Atonement in Leviticus and the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Through the lens of Hebrews, we discover how Jesus became our Great High Priest—sinless, perfect, and willing to shed His blood once for all. This message reminds us that while the Old Covenant covered sin temporarily, Jesus' blood removes it eternally. We are redeemed, accepted, and victorious because the blood still speaks.

Sunday June 29th, 2025. "Jesus: A Great High Priest," a sermon on Hebrews 4:14-5:9 from Reverend Stephen Felker.
When Facing Difficult Circumstances, Look to Jesus as Our Great High Priest MESSAGE SUMMARY: Introduction – Why don't we go to God when things get difficult? Jesus is Our Great High Priest; and we have access to Him, at any time, through prayer. Today's Message – In the Jewish Temple Worship, the Great High Priest was called by God from the Jewish Tribe of Levi; and he represented the people before God, and he represented God to the people. However, the Great High Priest of the Temple was human and a sinner, thereby, requiring sacrifices to God daily to atone for his own sin as well as the sins of the people of the Temple. Jesus, like the Temple's Great High Priest, was appointed by God; but Jesus represented all humanity before God through His prayers. Also, Jesus represented God, His Father, to the people through His preaching and teaching. Additionally, and like the Temple's Great high Priest, Jesus provided a sacrifice to God for the sins of the people. However, Jesus sacrifice was permanent and “once offered for the sins of the whole world” and forever. In Hebrews 5:9-10, the author of Hebrews tells us that: “{Jesus} And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.". Jesus priesthood, unlike the Temple's Great High Priest, was a “permanent Priesthood” with limitless power. Therefore, Jesus is able offer complete Salvation to all that come to Him. Again, the author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 7:26-27, presents how Jesus, is Our Great High Priest and how Jesus differs from the Temple's Great Hight Priest: “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He {Jesus} has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.". Since Jesus is Our great High Priest, the author of Hebrews admonishes us, in Hebrews 4:16, to hold fast to Jesus as Our great High Priest and to not let go. In Hebrews 4:15-16, we are told why we are so privileged with Jesus as Our Great High Priest: “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. 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 Jesus has been designated by God as Our Great High Priest for our intercessions with God, we have Jesus, as Our Great High Priest in our times off difficulties and needs. Therefore, when times get difficult for us, we have no excuse for not going Our Great High Priest, Jesus, with troubles. Through Our great High Priest, God is merciful and full of grace; and God will meet our needs. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you!

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Mr. Mark Olson
Throughout history God has made a way to draw closer and closer to his people. But when facing adversity the temptation for us to turn to other things besides Jesus is real. In this message, Pastor Holly shows how Jesus as our perfect High Priest is better than anything else and how the role God gives us all changes everything.
Hebrews 4 reveals God's invitation to enter His true rest—but warns us not to harden our hearts like those who came before. It also reminds us that God's Word exposes everything, and Jesus, our great High Priest, offers mercy and help when we need it most.
