Podcasts about high priests

Before beginning his earthly ministry, Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the adversary. This enemy, the same one faced by believers today, sought to tempt him in every conceivable way. Jesus endured these trials as a human, demonstrating the path to victory in spiritual warfare.He fought not with divine power but with the same spiritual resources available to Christ followers: the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus was tempted just as we are, yet remained without sin, he became a compassionate High Priest who understands our vulnerabilities and sympathizes with us in our moments of need.

We all sin! Sin is endemic to human nature: "There is not even a righteous person in the world who fails to sin." said Kohelet.But our chapter directs attention not to the sin of the ordinary Israelite but to the sins of leaders: The High Priest, the judiciary and the political leadership.Are their sins more egregious, or are they merely more prone to sin? Or are they possibly to set an example to us all?

John thought he knew Jesus—until he saw Him in glory. In Revelation 1, the eternal Son of God reveals Himself as the First and the Last, the High Priest who stands among His churches, and the King who holds authority over death itself. This vision reminds us that Jesus is not just the Savior who came—He is the King who reigns forever.

2026 is the year we stop striving—and start letting Jesus serve us.

Pastor Wilson Green encourages us that because Jesus is the Son of God and our great High Priest, we can draw near to God in prayer with confidence, freedom, and honesty. We can pray effectively because Jesus went before us, honestly because He understands and sympathizes with our weakness and temptation, and boldly because He will give mercy and grace when we need it.

Preacher:  Pastor Shane Michael Waldron Passage:  Hebrews 5:1-6 Series:  Greater: The Supremacy of Christ in Hebrews For more information about Rocky Mountain Presbyterian Church, please visit us at rmpca.org.   

Thursday, 1 January 2026   But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” Matthew 15:23   “And He answered not a word. And having approached, His disciples, they entreated Him, saying, ‘You dismiss her! For she cries after us'” (CG).   In the previous verse, the woman of Canaan came to Jesus while He was in the region of Tyre and Sidon, begging Him to have mercy on her, seeking help for her demon-possessed daughter. Matthew continues the narrative, saying, “And He answered not a word.”   There are various thoughts on the cold shoulder, which is presented here. Some think that Jesus knew all along what would occur, and He was testing her, allowing the situation to unfold before doing what He knew He would do all along. Ellicott thinks that “the prevailing power of prayer working on the sympathy of Christ” is what eventually will motivate Him.   But at this point, He is candid about why He does not respond to her. That will be seen in the next verse. Jesus was on a mission. It was purposeful, targeted, and required His full attention. Hence, at this time, He did not answer her as she croaked out for her daughter. Matthew continues, saying, “And having approached, His disciples, they entreated Him.”   A new word is seen here, erótaó, to interrogate. HELPS Word Studies says, “make an earnest request, especially by someone on ‘special footing,' i.e. in ‘preferred position.'” A good word to define this is entreat. The disciples are in such a preferred position, and they want to know why He is allowing this to continue.   One can see them, saying to Him (the verb is imperfect), “Why are you allowing her to annoy us. Why don't you just tell her to leave!” It was an interrogation of sorts as to His motives for doing nothing, one way or another. In their ongoing words, Matthew notes they were “saying, ‘You dismiss her! For she croaks after us.'”   Stating the obvious doesn't help anything here. Jesus knows she is there, and yet He is neither dismissing her nor assisting her. Therefore, their petition must be more for their own benefit than to convince Him. They are trying to figure out why He is not acting.   Life application: Put yourself in such a position. If you have been given instructions to do something, and yet an issue arises that does not fit within the parameters of your instructions, but you also don't want to ignore the issue, what would you do?   It is probable that most people would not act. Not acting is not a violation of the mission unless it was made explicit from the outset. To cover every such condition would mean an infinitely long list. Hence, such things are normally not even addressed.   Think of any movie or play where such an event arises. A person has to do something. A secondary issue enters the scene that is not a part of the mission, but which has taken hold of the main actor. It introduces a tension into the narrative as both issues are dealt with. The main directive is followed while the secondary issue is allowed to play out, even though nothing is actively done about it by the main character.   This type of thing happens in real life all the time. An example might be a missionary who goes to a foreign land. His mission is to evangelize the people, making converts. He is not being paid for other things. While there, he meets a lady whom he is big time interested in. However, she is not a Christian, having not accepted the gospel.   What will he do? He cannot act toward her to develop a relationship because that would be contrary to the faith. However, he doesn't want her to go away either. And so he does nothing. Regardless of the outcome (but for the sake of the love story, we'll say she eventually accepts Jesus and they get married), the tension has developed.   This is as common as bullets in an ammo factory, and it is just why so many stories, plays, and movies are developed with this theme. It is a part of the human condition. In the end, when the rules are adhered to and yet the outcome is positive, we always get the best feeling when the story is over. Why? Because to do wrong, despite often being our default setting, is never the preferred option.   Therefore, to allow events to play out to a resolution (hopefully a happy one like our missionary example) is what stirs our human emotions the most. Think about this and consider it as this short story, relayed by Matthew, unfolds before us.   “Seeing then that 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 cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16   Lord God, thank You for the humanity of our Messiah, Jesus. In seeing how He responded to the world around us, we have the perfect example of how to conduct our own affairs. May we learn to hold fast to Your word at all times while allowing surrounding events to play out in a way that will be favorable to our hopes and desires. Amen.

The blessings of Asher teach that Kabbalas Ol (subservience/action, represented by the "foot") is not merely a stepping stone to Intellect (oil), but is actually the foundation that supports and surpasses it, granting the unique power to "gather lost souls" that the holier tribes cannot reach. The Midrash stating that Asher's "beautiful daughters married High Priests" teaches that through the humble "foot-work" of Kabbalas Ol (Asher), a parent merits to raise children of such spiritual caliber that—like the "one child" Isaac—a single one of them provides more Nachas and spiritual impact than a multitude. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Vayechi in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

Our Great High Priest Hebrews 4:14-16 Pastoral Assistant Daniel Shim

Series: STANDALONE SERMON | Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-53:12 | Description: Behold, Jesus came to be the great high priest.

Our Great High Priest Hebrews 4:14-16 Pastoral Assistant Daniel Shim

Send us a textWhat do you do when every human source of comfort dries up and heaven feels quiet? We open the book of Job and listen to a wounded man wrestle with guilt, silence, and the terrifying question: how can a mortal stand before a holy God? That struggle leads us past self-help and moral polish to the deeper need that pain refuses to let us ignore—a Mediator who can lay a hand on both God and us and make peace.Together, we unpack Job's stark images of “snow water” and ditches, a vivid picture of the futility of self-cleansing and the despair that follows when we try to fix our souls without God. From there, we trace how Christ fulfills every covenant name—provider, banner, righteousness—and why that matters for sufferers. We also clear the fog around baptism: a commanded and beautiful sign that points to salvation, not the cause of it. If you've ever tied your assurance to a ritual or your resilience to sheer willpower, this conversation offers a gentler, truer way.The heart of our dialogue centers on the longing for a Daysman, a go-between who can bridge the chasm. We draw out how Job 9 anticipates Jesus Christ—fully God, fully man—our Advocate who intercedes, our High Priest who sympathizes, and our Savior who reconciles. That reality reshapes affliction: suffering is not evidence of abandonment but a place where grace deepens, character forms, and hope grows stubborn. If you're navigating loss, confusion, or the silence of God, come sit with us.

Send us a textWhat if the joy of Christmas starts at a manger but finds its meaning on a cross? We dive into the paradox at the center of the season: a sovereign Savior who chose to die. Moving from Old Testament signs to Simeon's startling words in Luke 2:34, we unpack how the incarnation is not simply quaint or sentimental—it's the first step in a costly mission that would end with a blood-bought people and a cleansed conscience.We walk through John 10 to hear Jesus claim agency over His own life and death: no one takes it from Him; He lays it down and takes it up again. That choice reframes sacrifice and love. Then we connect Hebrews 9 to show how the High Priest entered the holy place once for all, not with the blood of animals but with His own, securing eternal redemption. Along the way, we talk about conscience and celebration—why gifts, trees, and traditions are secondary, and why the cross must be central if we want Christmas to be more than noise.This conversation is candid and pastoral. We name the opposition Jesus still faces, the way His presence reveals hearts, and the humility it takes to admit we cannot save ourselves. We aim to help you anchor your holiday in the gospel: Christ appointed for the fall and rise of many, the cornerstone some reject and others rest upon. If “born to die” sounds harsh, it's because love this fierce is uncommon—and exactly what we needed.If this resonates, follow the show, share the episode with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us how you're keeping the cross at the center of Christmas.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

God's glory is unapproachable for sinners, yet in Jesus Christ the eternal Word took on flesh so that we could truly see His glory—full of grace and truth. In the incarnation, God does not wait for us to climb up to Him; He comes down to meet us, making propitiation for our sins and becoming our sympathetic High Priest. This Christmas, hear His invitation to turn from sin and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, where mercy and help are found in Christ.

This Christmas sermon explores the profound hope found in Jesus Christ as the light that penetrates a world of pain and moral darkness. Drawing from the ancient prophecies of Isaiah and Psalm 110, the text highlights how the Messiah was foretold as both a sovereign King and a compassionate High Priest long before his birth. The speaker emphasizes that while humans often reach for insufficient comforts during times of crisis, Christ serves as a "sunrise" that offers a complete perspective on life's difficulties. By stepping down from his heavenly throne to experience human suffering, Jesus became an intercessor who sympathizes with our weaknesses and offers unmerited forgiveness. Ultimately, the source serves as an invitation to rely on this divine authority to navigate the complexities and "dark woods" of the human experience.Support the showThanks for listening!

This event is marked by a profound silence in heaven for about half an hour, interpreted as a moment of awe and anxiety among the heavenly host, who anticipate the far more severe Seven Trumpet Judgments that the Seventh Seal unleashes. Before the trumpets sound, another angel, identified by Zumpano as Jesus Christ (our High Priest), mediates. This angel takes a golden censer, adds incense (representing the prayers of the Tribulation saints/Jews) to it, and throws the censer's fire onto the earth. This action symbolizes Christ's mediation for the saints and his immediate response to their prayers for deliverance is the initiation of judgment on their enemies—the unbelievers on earth, marked by thunder, lightning, and an earthquake.The subsequent sounding of the first four trumpets brings escalating, literal, and localized judgments. The First Trumpetbrings hail, fire, and blood, burning up a third of the earth's vegetation and causing severe ecological damage, mirroring the seventh Egyptian plague (Exodus 9). The Second Trumpet sends "something like a great mountain burning with fire" (interpreted as a fiery meteor) into the sea, turning a third of the sea into blood and destroying a third of the marine life and ships, recalling the first Egyptian plague (Exodus 7). The Third Trumpet brings another meteor, the star called Wormwood (the Russian word for the plant), which pollutes and makes a third of the fresh waters bitter, causing many deaths and echoing God's previous judgment in Jeremiah 9. Finally, the Fourth Trumpet strikes the heavens, darkening a third of the sun, moon, and stars (Exodus 10; Luke 21), a prophetic sign of Christ's imminent return. After the fourth trumpet, an angel declares "Woe, woe, woe", announcing the three final, and most severe, trumpet judgments (the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh), which bring literal hell to earth, beginning with the Fifth Trumpet that releases a plague of demonic locusts from the Bottomless Pit (Abyss), to torment, but not kill, unbelievers for five months.

Christ Gives Access Hebrews 4:14; 10:19–22 Through Christ, every border to God is torn down. No more distance. No more separation. In Jesus—our great High Priest—we're given direct, confident access to the Father. The invitation isn't exclusive; it's wide open. Step in.

What if God's law moved from stone tablets to your heart? We walk through the end of Hebrews chapter 8 and venture into the beginning of chapter 9 to show why Jesus is the better priest who brings a better covenant with better promises—and why that changes everything about how we know God, obey, and worship. We unpack Jeremiah chapter 31's promise of an inner work of the Spirit, explore how the covenant speaks to Israel while blessing the nations, and clarify a key tension: the Mosaic Law is obsolete, yet God's moral will is fulfilled in us through the law of Christ.From there, we step into the tabernacle. Picture the outer court, the holy place, and the Holy of Holies sealed by a veil. Only the high priest entered once a year with blood for the mercy seat. Every detail shouted distance. Then the cross tore the veil. Jesus, our great High Priest, presented His own blood, opened a living way into God's presence, and continues interceding for us. The smoke of incense that once hovered before the curtain now imagery-richly belongs inside, because our Advocate is already there.This conversation connects theology to hope and practice. If the Spirit writes God's ways on our hearts, obedience grows from desire, not fear. If the law of Christ guides us, we live led by the Spirit rather than by ritual. If access is open, we come boldly to the throne of grace. Along the way, we address Israel and The Body of Christ [The Messiah], the promise of future belief, and how Gentiles share in covenant blessings without erasing the text's plain meaning.

After their journey, the wise men came to Jesus and presented Him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. While gold showed they were open handed with what was valuable, frankincense carried deep significance. In Scripture, frankincense was used by the high priest as an offering of prayer and intercession for sinful people. It was burned in the presence of God as a sweet aroma, representing prayers rising to heaven and the people being made right with a holy God. Frankincense was precious because of what it was used for. Its value was determined by its purpose. When the wise men brought frankincense to Jesus, they were not giving Him a gift to enjoy. They were acknowledging that Jesus was the gift. By offering frankincense, they declared Jesus as the great and perfect High Priest, the only one who could reconcile sinful people to God. The only acceptable offering before a holy God is Jesus. It has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Him. Who do you say that Jesus is? Is Jesus your one?Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/yaJlxyKK4RESubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

Send us a textThe search for the “perfect gift” can be frantic and funny—we even share a Turbo Man moment—but beneath the wrapping is a longing for something that doesn't break or get boxed up. We journey from a packed day of service to a manger where love takes human form and resets what matters most.We trace the nativity like a tapestry: Mary's costly yes, Joseph's steady protection, shepherds welcomed from the margins, and magi crossing borders under a guiding star. Along the way we unpack the meaning behind gold, frankincense, and myrrh: a king worth honoring, a priest who bridges the gap, and a Savior whose love will pay the price. Even the practical side matters—provision for a family fleeing Herod's violence—showing that real love is both tender and tough. If presents delight for a moment, presence transforms a life.From there we get practical. We talk about pre-deciding to walk with Jesus in the new year, joining community, and blessing our households in prayer. We name three anchors to carry forward: the King has come, the High Priest forgives, and the Messiah makes a way. If you've been measuring the season by lists and sales, consider a different measure: the courage to forgive, the humility to ask for help, the joy of serving together, and the steady practice of love at home. Join us for a warm, story-rich hour that blends Scripture, humor, and hope—and leave with clear next steps for your faith and family.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs some Christmas hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

What If Christmas Was About Rescue, Not Religion? Discussion Questions: Read John 1:14-18. What does it mean to you that Jesus became human, explained God, and gave us His fullness? Read Hebrews 2:14. What stands out to you about why Jesus shared fully in flesh and blood? Read Hebrews 2:15. How does fear of death (or loss, failure, rejection) still subtly influence people today—and how does Jesus' victory speak to that? Read Hebrews 2:16-17. Why is it comforting to know that Jesus represents you as a merciful High Priest rather than a demanding one? Read Hebrews 2:18. In what way does knowing Jesus experienced real temptation change how you view your own struggles? What role can the indwelling Christ play for you? Read Galatians 4:4–5. What does it mean to you personally that Jesus entered life "under the Law" so you wouldn't have to live there? Read Galatians 4:6. How does calling God "Abba, Father" reshape prayer from performance into relationship? Read Galatians 4:7. In what area of life do you most need to move from a slave mindset ("I must earn") to an heir mindset ("I already belong")?

This sermon concludes the three-week series "God Our Home," connecting the longing for God's presence with the reality of Christmas. We recap that God's desire to dwell with His people is the entire storyline of the Bible—from Eden to the New Creation. However, significant barriers like disobedience, shame, lies, and God's holiness keep us from experiencing this intimacy.The Good News of Christmas is that Jesus came to address every single barrier. He is the "obedience of the one" that makes many righteous. He clothes our shame so we can hide in Him rather than from Him. He reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling lies. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy, paying the entrance fee we could never afford. And He empowers us to forgive by first forgiving us.Scripture ReferencesRevelation 21:3: "I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst."Psalm 22:3: God inhabits the praises of His people.Deuteronomy 8:10-14: A warning not to forget God in times of plenty.John 8:28-29: Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father.Romans 5:19: "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."Colossians 3:3: "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."Hebrews 4:15: We have a High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses.John 14:6-9: Jesus reveals the Father: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."John 1:14: The Word became flesh, full of grace and truth.Matthew 6:9-15: The Lord's Prayer, emphasizing forgiveness.Key PointsJesus Addresses Our BarriersDisobedience: Jesus' perfect submission overthrows our rebellion. His obedience is credited to us, making us righteous.Shame: Instead of hiding from God in shame, we can hide in Christ. He clothes us in His righteousness, fully knowing and fully loving us.Lies: Jesus reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling the enemy's lies about God's character.Holiness: Jesus doesn't lower the standard; He pays the price. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy and blameless in God's sight.Unforgiveness: We are empowered to forgive others because we have been forgiven a debt we could never pay.How to Not Miss His Presence Like the characters in the first Christmas story who did experience God, we must:Worship: Adore Him to gain perspective and crush comparison.Ponder: Like Mary, treasure God's work in your heart. Be curious and wonder about Him.Seek: Like the Wise Men, actively pursue Him. Don't assume His presence; hunt for it.ConclusionWe don't have to live separated from God. Jesus, Emmanuel, has come to bridge the gap. He has dealt with our sin, shame, and separation so that we can once again stand in the presence of a holy God—not with fear, but with boldness and joy.Calls to ActionInvite Someone: 80% of people are willing to come to church if invited. Use this Christmas season to invite someone to the Fox Theatre service.Worship & Ponder: In the busyness of the season, take time to worship and ponder what Christ has done to bring you near.Come to the Table: As you take communion, reflect on the cost Jesus paid to remove every barrier between you and the Father.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 354, “No One Can Keep You from God,” Kim discusses the attempt of King Ahaz to shut down all access to God. Kim encourages listeners who are Christ-followers to celebrate their eternal access to God. Because of our great High Priest, we can go boldly to God…but do we?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 28:20-27, with 22-25 as the focal verses:   22 Even during this time of trouble, King Ahaz continued to reject the Lord. 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, for he said, “Since these gods helped the kings of Aram, they will help me, too, if I sacrifice to them.” But instead, they led to his ruin and the ruin of all Judah. 24 The king took the various articles from the Temple of God and broke them into pieces. He shut the doors of the Lord's Temple so that no one could worship there, and he set up altars to pagan gods in every corner of Jerusalem. 25 He made pagan shrines in all the towns of Judah for offering sacrifices to other gods. In this way, he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of his ancestors.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Given that nothing can stand between you and God, be honest—how frequently do you come confidently before His throne?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

The Greatest Story Of All Time is our Christmas 2025 series at Fusion Christian Church. In this series we look at some of the ways God foreshadowed the Christmas story throughout the bible. In part 4, we conclude our series with a teaching on how Jesus Christ is our great High Priest.Jesus offered the perfect sacrifice.The priests in the Old Testament had to offer sacrifices constantly in order to atone for the sins of Israel. This is because the animal sacrifices could never truly take away the sins of the people. What the sacrifices did was point forward to the future sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Jesus, by offering his own body up on the cross, did what all the priests who came before could never do. He made a once for all, perfect sacrifice that could finally make people clean. Jesus entered the perfect place.Under the Old Testament system, the High Priest entered the "Most Holy Place" once a year on the Day of Atonement. The Most Holy Place was the room in the Tabernacle (or later the temple) that housed the Ark of the Covenant. Here the High Priest would act as a mediator between God and his people, making peace between them. The Most Holy Place, however, was only a shadow of the true Most Holy Place in heaven. Jesus, as the perfect High Priest, passed through the heavens himself, and therefore entered the "perfect place." By doing so, Jesus was able to reconcile God's people to him in a way no other high priest could.Jesus sat down on the perfect seat.On the Ark of the Covenant, which sat in the Most Holy Place, there was a space between two angels called the "Mercy Seat." This is the place where God's presence rested and where he would meet with the High Priest. Like with the Most Holy Place, this Mercy Seat was a shadow representing God's throne in heaven. According to the bible, after Jesus had offered his perfect sacrifice (himself) he sat down at the right hand of God in heaven. What this means is that Jesus can sit in the seat reserved only for God (because he is God). Jesus sits in heaven's Mercy Seat because he is the one who gives mercy to his people.You are now part of the priesthood.If you have been saved by Jesus, then his blood has washed you clean and set you apart for his service. God has a job for all of us to do, and that is to serve him and his gospel. All Christians are part of a priesthood where we live in service to our Prophet, Priest, and King Jesus Christ. How will you serve him?

A Birthday to Die For by Frank Atchley https://www.amazon.com/Birthday-Die-Frank-Atchley/dp/1960946412 Dr. Paula Mitchell, a Seattle clinical psychologist, is in dire need of help to save her patient’s life. Kae Carlson believes she will be killed on her twenty-sixth birthday, which is less than three weeks away. Through “Connie, Maxine, and Cathleen,” Kae’s other personalities, Dr. Mitchell learns that Kae was raped by the High Priest of a satanic cult on her thirteenth birthday. A miscarriage prevented her from delivering a baby to be sacrificed, so she must take its place. Having no other choice, Paula calls the police. Homicide Detective Jerry Riggs takes the call. Leads are scarce and witnesses disappear or die as Riggs and his partner hunt for cult members and the location where the sacrificial ceremony will take place. Time is short, breaks are few, and the cult members are getting more desperate. Can they save Kae?

Ever feel like you're stuck on a spiritual treadmill—striving, second-guessing, and never sure you've done enough? Hebrews chapter 7 offers a doorway out. We unpack why Jesus, as High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, changes the terms of assurance from fragile to forever by holding a priesthood that never ends. Mortal priests came and went; Jesus lives and intercedes without interruption, which means your access to God isn't fluctuating with your feelings or your week. It's anchored in His unending life.We walk through Hebrews 7:23–28 to explore what “once for all” really means. Instead of daily sacrifices and human representatives who must atone for their own sins, Christ—holy, innocent, undefiled, and exalted—offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice and now stands in the true Holy of Holies on our behalf. That's practical relief. If He saves completely, your security doesn't hinge on spiritual hot streaks or rituals that try to patch what only His cross can cure. The old system was endless and exhausting. His finished work ends the churn and invites you to rest.We also clarify what ongoing intercession looks like: not a replay of the cross, but a living Advocate applying a decisive victory. When accusations rise, the Father sees the Son. That's why Hebrews urges us to draw near to trust the One who holds us fast. If you've wrestled with doubt, fear of losing salvation, or the pressure to be “worthy enough,” this chapter will steady your heart and widen your view of grace. Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs to hear that Jesus saves completely and keeps completely.

Today, we walk through the often-misunderstood story of the wise men, their long journey, intentional worship, and the deeply symbolic gifts they brought to Jesus. Gold for the King. Frankincense for the High Priest. Myrrh for the Savior who came to die.Their gifts weren't last-minute add-ons; they were thoughtful, planned acts of worship. As we enter the busiest days of December, this episode invites you to consider: Are you offering Jesus your leftovers, or your first and best? Let's make God our central thought this season—not an afterthought.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Discover how to bring your worship as a living, holy sacrifice to God in part two of “The Gifts We Bring.” The second gift of the magi—frankincense—pointed to Jesus as our perfect High Priest, the only mediator and intercessor between God and humanity. He is deserving of our first and best when it comes to worship, and that often costs us something. When we raise our hands in worship, we are acknowledging our submission to God and His provision for us. Worship is offering God the “first fruits” of our lives, whether that be time, talents, or resources. Bringing a sacrifice of praise opens the door for God's provision to be poured out. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he unpacks what it means for Christians to be priests of God and be challenged to bring your sacrifice of praise!Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources       https://livingproof.co/resources/books Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In this Christmas message, we explore the Magi's gift of frankincense to baby Jesus, declaring His divinity and role as ultimate High Priest. From Matthew 2:1-12, the wise men brought pure incense used in temple worship, symbolizing Jesus as God in flesh who would offer Himself for our sins—fulfilling rituals and tearing the veil at His death (Matthew 27:50-51).Frankincense represents prayer as our modern incense (Psalm 141:1-2; Revelation 5:8), inviting us to draw near God with confidence through Christ's blood (Hebrews 10:19-25). If Jesus is King, bring Him your prayers—acknowledging His divinity, relying on Him as our hope, and living under His priestly covering.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

Jesus is our High Priest who mediates on our behalf before God. In love, He gives of Himself so that we can fellowship with God. Pastor Lee McDerment shows us the example of Christ and our responsibility to the world as a “kingdom of priests.” Jesus is our High Priest who mediates on our behalf before God. In love, He gives of Himself so that we can fellowship with God. Pastor Lee McDerment shows us the example of Christ and our responsibility to the world as a “kingdom of priests.”

In the opening message of our Christmas series “For the King,” we look at the deeper meaning behind the Magi's gifts and what they reveal about who Jesus truly is—and what He wants for you and from you. This week we unpack frankincense and myrrh, exploring Jesus as our High Priest who brings us into God's presence and our Prophet who speaks truth, calls us to repentance, and ultimately lays down His life for us. As we rediscover who Jesus is, we're reminded of the access, grace, and relationship He offers—an invitation we're meant to actually use, not leave unopened.

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.

TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is an anchor for your soul. The most real, the most essential part of your identity is your soul. Our flesh, our bodies, they fail and one day will be no more as they are. But our soul will remain. Our soul is eternal. Hebrews 6:19 says, this hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. It's so easy for us to lose ourselves in this storm-filled world, but the truest thing about your soul is found and anchored in your union with Christ. This anchor is held fast in the most secure and private and intimate of places with God. The holy of holies is being described here in chapter 6, verse 19 and 20. He goes on to say, it leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. The anchor of our souls leads us through the curtain, into the inner sanctuary—that intimate, private, secure, safe place. The truest thing about you is found and is at rest with God. God has set aside this place to reveal Himself to you and to reveal you to you. He wants you to know who you really are. So don't let the world determine the truest thing about you. Don't let your past determine the truest thing about you. He has established that already: you are anchored securely with him. As you walk with God and spend time in his presence, he will reveal your soul to you. So come to him recognizing that you're anchored in him, allowing him to lead you into that most secure of places, right with him. There you'll find the life, the hope, the courage, the strength that you need to move forward in this life with joy. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
