In Christ Alone “Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things by the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.” But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been free of fault, no circumstances would have been sought for a second. For in finding fault with the people, He says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will bring about a new covenant With the house of Israel and the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care about them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel After those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people. And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, And their sins I will no longer remember.” When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear.” Hebrews 8:1-13 NASB “Behold, I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:5 NASB What is new? A new High Priest (Hebrews 8:1-6) “Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

For in finding fault with the people, He says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will bring about a new covenant With the house of Israel and the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care about them, says the Lord… When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear.” A new creation (Hebrews 8:10, 12) “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel After those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people…For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, And their sins I will no longer remember.” A new community (Hebrews 8:11) “And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them.”

Get the notes for this teaching!Jesus: The True High Priest Who Understands Our StrugglesThe Book of Hebrews is a masterful demonstration of how the New Covenant in Christ completely surpasses the Old Covenant shadows. As I dive into Hebrews Chapter 5, the theological focus shifts explicitly to the high priestly ministry of Jesus. If you have ever felt like God is distant or disconnected from your daily struggles, this chapter offers immense comfort and profound challenge.To mediate between a holy God and a broken humanity, a true high priest must be taken from among men. He must understand our condition. Under the Old Covenant, the Levitical priests, starting with Aaron, fulfilled this role. Because they were beset with their own sinful weaknesses, they could deal gently with the people. However, they first had to offer sacrifices for their own sins.Jesus radically changes this dynamic. In the incarnation, God the Son took on human flesh to become our ultimate High Priest. He experienced human fatigue, sorrow, and temptation—yet He remained entirely without sin. He didn't just offer the blood of bulls and goats; He offered Himself. Because He is flawless, His sacrifice is perfect.Furthermore, Hebrews 5 reveals the incredible truth that, although He was a Son, Jesus learned obedience through the things He suffered. God used the crucible of suffering to bring Christ's earthly obedience to its absolute climax on the cross. If the Father utilized trials to perfect the obedience of His sinless Son, we should not be surprised when He uses hardships to refine our faith. We are called to grow, moving beyond the elementary “milk” of the faith into the deep, spiritually mature “solid food” of God's Word.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Who represents us to God? How can imperfect sinners go before God's throne? In Hebrews 5, we see that Jesus is our perfect High Priest. Christ provides us with confident access to God.
We see the unique difference as Jesus the High Priest
Pastor Jay Song
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.
Listen to a message from Family Minister Brad Marvine! He will teach through Hebrews 4:14-16.
In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that Jesus is the merciful and faithful priest that we need. He is able and willing to represent us before God as our mediator, to satisfy his wrath by dealing with our sin, and to provide the help we need as we wait for his promised salvation in God's new world.
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.
Last Words - Part 5I Thirst | John 19:28-29; Hebrews 2:17-18Big Idea: Because Jesus is fully human, He is able to fully save humans. The fully human savior Jesus is able to:1. Serve as our High Priest (Hebrews 2:17a)2. Offer sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 2:17b)3. Empathize with our condition (Hebrews 2:18)
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-god-who-forms-a-peopleThe God Who Forms a People | SermonIn this message, we explore how God has always been at work forming a people for Himself—from the Old Covenant to its fulfillment in Christ.Looking at 1 Corinthians 10:11, we see how the events of the Old Testament serve as types—blueprints—that point forward to their ultimate fulfillment, or antitypes, in Jesus. From the rejected stone in Psalm 118 to Christ as the cornerstone, Scripture reveals a consistent plan of redemption.Through the story of Israel in Exodus 19, we are reminded that God delivers His people not just to rescue them, but to bring them into relationship—calling them a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” This calling reflects both authority and responsibility: to live set apart, to serve others, and to stand in the gap as intercessors.The Ten Commandments reveal God's holy standard, yet also show humanity's inability to fully keep the law. This points us forward to the promise of a new covenant in Jeremiah 31—a covenant where God writes His law on our hearts.Jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). As our High Priest (Hebrews 8), He establishes a better covenant based on better promises. Through Him, we are not only forgiven, but transformed.In Christ, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The new covenant is not just external instruction, but internal transformation—God working within us to shape us into His people.Key Themes:Types and antitypes in ScriptureGod's plan to form a holy peopleThe purpose of the lawThe promise and power of the new covenantTransformation through ChristIf this message encouraged you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more teaching.

Humanity stood helpless—facing suffering, sin, temptation, and even death itself. And the Son of God did something astonishing: He did not rescue us from a distance. Jesus became fully human so that He could stand with us in three ways…as our Brother, as our Deliverer, and as our High Priest.
In this powerful message, “30 Minutes to Change the World,” we continue our series *The Wonderful World of the Apocalypse* by diving into Revelation 8:1–5 and exploring how God weaves the prayers of His people into His cosmic redemptive plan.Drawing on the Old Testament background behind Revelation's imagery—especially the “day of the Lord” and the call for all flesh to be silent before God (Habakkuk 2:20; Zephaniah 1:7; Zechariah 2:13)—we look at what it means that “there was silence in heaven for about half an hour” (Revelation 8:1). We consider how this “half hour” functions like the broken “three and a half” of Revelation 11–13 (cf. Daniel 7:25; 12:7), symbolizing an interruption in time: the end feels near, but is mercifully delayed (2 Peter 3:9–10).From there, the message unpacks how the seventh seal opens into the seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2–6), and how this delay is not a “bug” in God's plan, but a feature of His patience and desire for repentance (Ezekiel 18:23, 32; 1 Timothy 2:3–4; 2 Peter 3:9). Far from being about God trying to get the church out of the world, Revelation shows God determined to bring heaven into the world through the faithful witness and prayers of His people (Matthew 6:9–10; Acts 1:8).Central to this message is the vivid temple imagery of the golden censer and the altar of incense (Revelation 8:3–4), echoing the tabernacle pattern in Exodus 25–30 and the altar of incense in Exodus 30:1–10. We connect these themes to Psalm 141:2 (“Let my prayer be counted as incense before you”) and the priestly ministry fulfilled in Christ, our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14–16; 7:23–27; 8:1–5). The prayers of “all God's people” (Revelation 8:3–4)—not just the martyrs of Revelation 6:9–11, but the entire church—rise before God like incense, joining heaven's worship scene in Revelation 4–5 and the countless multitude of Revelation 7:9–12.The message emphasizes three key truths about prayer:1. **Prayer is not performative** Prayer is not merely a tool for self-regulation or stress management; it is real communion with the living God who hears and responds (Psalm 34:15–18; Matthew 7:7–11; 1 John 5:14–15). Our prayers actually “reach” God and are taken up into His purposes (Revelation 5:8; 8:3–4).2. **Prayer is sacrificial** Using the language of Old Testament sacrifice (Leviticus 1–7; Romans 12:1), we see that God is pleased by the costly choice to pray instead of sleep, scheme, worry, or seek revenge (Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Peter 5:6–7). Daniel's commitment to prayer in Babylon (Daniel 6:10–23) and Jesus' teaching on secret prayer (Matthew 6:5–6) illustrate how God honors and rewards faithful, hidden prayer.3. **Prayer is purposeful** When the angel hurls fire from the altar to the earth (Revelation 8:5), the thunder, lightning, and earthquake recall God's presence at Sinai (Exodus 19:16–19) and the throne-room scene in Revelation 4:5. The message presses the point: the fire that falls on the earth comes from the altar of prayer. God's judgments and interventions in history are pictured as directly connected to the prayers of His people (Luke 18:1–8; Acts 4:23–31; James 5:16–18).Through this lens, we revisit the contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:20–39), where God sends fire in response to Elijah's simple, faith-filled prayer, exposing idols and turning Israel's heart back—at least for a time. Likewise, the trumpet judgments of Revelation 8–11 are aimed at shaking people out of idolatry and into repentance (Revelation 9:20–21; 11:13), not at arbitrary destruction.Along the way, the message reviews the flow of Revelation so far:- The Lamb's worthiness
