Podcasts about high priests

Monday January 26, 2026III Week After EpiphanyToday's readings point us to the supremacy of God's provision and authority. In Genesis 14:1–24, Abram encounters Melchizedek—king and priest—reminding us that victory and blessing come not from power or possessions, but from the Lord Most High. Hebrews 8:1–13 lifts our eyes to Jesus, our greater High Priest, who mediates a better covenant built on better promises. And in John 4:43–54, we see faith tested and strengthened as a desperate father believes Jesus' word before seeing the miracle. This episode invites us to trust Christ not only for what He can do, but for who He is—our true King, faithful Priest, and the One whose promises never fail.

The AttunementHebrews 4:14–16Guest Preacher Dr. Jim Coffield | King's Chapel Live StreamGod cares deeply about His connection with us.In Hebrews 4, we are reminded that Jesus is not distant or detached from our struggles. He is our great High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. Jesus understands our pain, our fears, and our need for help.In this message, Dr. Jim Coffield explores the idea of attunement and how God lovingly connects Himself with His people. Jesus invites us to hold fast to Him, especially when life feels heavy or overwhelming. He also invites us to come boldly to His throne, not in fear or shame, but with confidence.At the throne of grace, we find exactly what we need. Mercy for our failures and grace for our present struggles. Jesus does not push us away in our weakness. He welcomes us, listens to us, and meets us with compassion and care.If you are walking through a season where you need help, encouragement, or reassurance of God's nearness, this message points you to the Savior who understands and invites you to draw near.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborHebrews 4 sermon, Jesus our High Priest, grace and mercy sermon, God's compassion, King's Chapel Longwood FL, holding fast to Jesus, throne of grace teaching, sympathy of Christ, guest preacher sermon

Diving into Hebrews 2 and Jesus Christ as our King and High Priest.

** Correction: The only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence was Charles Carroll, not John Carroll. Although there are cousins from the same prominent Catholic family in Maryland **In the earliest chapters of human history, when humanity first awakened to the vast chasm that sin had torn between itself and God, the Almighty—rich in wisdom and mercy—established a system of sacrifice. To modern sensibilities, such practices may seem foreign, even unsettling. Yet these sacrifices were never barbaric rituals devoid of meaning. They were sacred signs, visible declarations of an invisible reality: sin creates a debt, and reconciliation demands atonement.The Israelites, chosen to bear divine truth in a world shrouded in darkness, obeyed this command with reverence. Each unblemished lamb placed upon the altar, each offering consumed by sacred fire, testified to the weight of sin and the desperate human need to be restored to God. The Temple sacrifices were not empty motions; they were solemn reminders that sin costs something and that holiness requires blood.And yet, this system was never meant to stand forever. No ritual, no matter how meticulously observed, could cleanse the human heart. These sacrifices were shadows, holy signposts pointing forward to a far greater reality, a redemptive plan set in motion “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4). As Scripture declares, “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). The altar prepared the way, but it could not complete the work.Then, in the fullness of time, the answer arrived.Jesus Christ entered the story, not as another offering, but as the offering. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). In Him, the fragmented symbols of ancient worship are gathered and fulfilled. God Himself stepped into the brokenness of human existence. The eternal Word became flesh and dwelt among us, fully divine and fully human. On the cross, Christ carried the crushing weight of our guilt, spanning the infinite gulf that sin had carved between heaven and earth.The sacrifices of old were provisional, divine lessons training the hearts of God's people to recognize the magnitude of what was to come. In Jesus, sacrifice reaches its perfection. He is both High Priest and spotless Victim, offering Himself freely, not as a cold transaction, but as an act of unfathomable love. With His final breath, the Temple system met its completion, and the Savior's cry echoed through eternity: “It is finished” (John 19:30).Now, standing in the light of this finished work, we are confronted with a question that cannot be ignored. Do we grasp the depth of Christ's sacrifice? Have we allowed His love to transform us? Scripture calls us not merely to admire the cross, but to respond to it – offering our own lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).In the Lamb of God, redemption is complete. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

The temple in Jerusalem was where the Israelites would go to meet with God. Only the High Priest could go into God's presence. But that temple was destroyed in AD 70 and now, if you are in Christ, God's temple is your body, but the temple should be clean, holy and righteous. Today we talk about cleansing the temple.

Send us a textWhat if the cross closed the heavenly courtroom—but the accusations didn't stop ringing in your ears? We dive into a spirited, respectful debate about Satan's role after Calvary and why the living Christ's intercession still matters for ordinary believers navigating shame, doubt, and spiritual warfare.We start by clarifying terms: atonement is finished, once for all, yet Scripture speaks of a present High Priest who advocates and mediates. One side argues Revelation 12 signals the accuser's eviction from heaven when Christ ascended, ending legal indictments against the saints. The other side points out that Satan's accusing nature persists until his final destruction, which explains the New Testament's warnings and the comfort of a Savior who “ever lives to make intercession.” Along the way we revisit the big storyline—from Babel's scattered nations and the devil's deceit to Jesus binding the strong man and handing keys to his disciples—showing how the gospel unlocks captive peoples.Together we test how to read “accused” in the past tense without flattening the ongoing reality of lies, temptations, and charges that batter the conscience. We distinguish the once-for-all sacrifice from the ongoing ministry of Christ: not a repeat atonement, but a living representation that secures access, preserves assurance, and silences every charge with his righteousness. Job's story threads through our talk as a portrait of suffering and ultimate vindication, reminding us that the Christian life is contested ground, and that our defense is not our performance, but a Person.If you've ever wondered what Jesus is doing for you right now—or felt spiritually “on trial” without words to answer—this conversation will steady your steps. Listen, open your Bible, and join us as we pursue clarity with charity.

We all will die and then be judged. Will we be found waiting for the true and greater High Priest, Christ Jesus? He has made the final, lasting sacrifice so that we can find peace and rest in him. Pastor Tim walks us through Hebrews 9:23-28.

Jesus Christ's present-day ministry, post-ascension, focuses on His role as heavenly High Priest, Mediator, and Intercessor, advocating for believers before God, presenting their prayers, and providing access to divine grace through His perfect sacrifice, while the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, continues His earthly work of spreading the Gospel and meeting people's needs. Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

Jesus has just been baptized, His identity was declared by God the Father, and he saw the Holy Spirit descends like a dove. Wow! What a spiritual experience! He is riding high and life is going to feel like a cakewalk from here on out, right? I think oftentimes we have a Disney-worldly view of Christianity that doesn’t align with God’s word. A cakewalk is not the reality of what happens next for Jesus. This weekend, we will see that Jesus sets an example for us in how we can respond to temptation. He shows that our greatest, basic need is not physical: not food, not affirmation or position. Our primary need is spiritual in nature: it is relationship with God. It is through this relationally grounded mindset that Jesus overcomes temptation. As believers, our faith will be tested, and we will all be tempted in various ways. Will we choose to look to God and His word for wisdom to proceed His way, or are we going to take the easy out? Thankfully for us, Jesus did not take the short cuts offered to him, but he endured the cross and the Father’s wrath for our sin. His victory over temptation shows us why He is the worthy Lamb of sacrifice for the sins of the world and the High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. - Pastor Ken Key Verse - Hebrews 4:15 - “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.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49543683

Can the High Priest consecrate his daily meal offering by placing the flour into two service vessels, or must it be consecrated in one vessel, even though it's consumption on the altar is divided and presented half in the morning and half in the afternoon? • Can a single ingredient of a meal offering be consecrated in a service vessel, or must all components be placed together to effect the consecration? • If under attack, can the priests consume their portions in the sanctuary or may they only be consumed in the courtyard?

Jesus is exalted in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. His Name is above every name.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate.

God confronts His people for offering Him their leftovers instead of their hearts, exposing worship that had become weary, careless, and insincere. Yet even in His rebuke, God extends an invitation of restoration—calling us to return to Him with reverence, joy, and wholehearted worship through Jesus, our faithful High Priest.

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.

January 11th, 2026 | Encounter | Hebrews 4:11-16What if the key to spiritual growth isn't a shortcut—but a daily encounter with God's Word?In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz invites us to experience a fresh encounter with the living presence of God through Scripture. Drawing from Hebrews 4:11–16, he reminds us that the Bible is not just a book to be read, but the very Word of God—living, active, and powerful to transform our lives.Pastor Todd unpacks what it means to “strive to enter God's rest,” showing how ongoing obedience to God's Word leads us into the abundant life found in Jesus. As the Word exposes the true condition of our hearts, it doesn't lead us to shame—but to grace. Through Christ, our great High Priest, we are invited to approach the throne of grace with confidence and find mercy and help in our time of need.This message also launches the NT260 challenge—an invitation to read one chapter of the New Testament a day, five days a week, for the rest of the year. The goal isn't simply to read the Bible, but to encounter Jesus through His Word.If you're longing for spiritual rest, renewal, and a deeper relationship with God, this message will challenge and encourage you to open the Scriptures—and meet Him there.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

January 11th, 2026 | Encounter | Hebrews 4:11-16What does it truly mean to encounter God—not just the idea of Him, but God Himself?In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Matt Darby explores how God meets us, forms us, and draws us deeper into life with Him through His living Word. Teaching from Hebrews 4:11–16, Pastor Matt reminds us that the Bible is not merely information to be studied, but the primary place where we encounter the presence and voice of the living God.As the writer of Hebrews warns believers against hardening their hearts, this message calls us back to a life of trust, obedience, and rest found in Jesus. God's Word is living and active—able to reach beneath the surface of our behaviors and expose the inner places of our hearts, not to shame us, but to free us. Through Scripture, God forms who we are becoming, reorients what we love, and places us honestly before Him so that real relationship can grow.Ultimately, encountering God through His Word always leads us back to Jesus—our compassionate High Priest who understands our weakness and invites us to draw near with confidence to receive mercy and grace in our time of need.This message challenges us to examine our relationship with God's Word and invites us into a deeper, daily encounter that doesn't end with exposure, but with grace.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

As we continue to understand more about the message of God; we see that Abraham was called by God to establish a new nation that was to be unlike the world. Today, we see that this New Nation is also to have a relationship with God, that is unlike the world. Join us as we look at this important, but challenging topic! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Genesis 14 is a key chapter because of what it tells us about Melchizedek. However, Melchizedek does not arrive on the scene until verse 17. What events led up to his introduction? 2.    Who were the two kings mentioned in verses 17 and 18? Given the city the king of Sodom presided over, what might we infer about this man? 3.    How does this study explain Abram's refusal to receive any of the spoils of victory in Genesis 14:23? What does this indicate about the foundation of this new nation of people who follow God? What does this show us about Abram's faith?  4.    According to the study, what does Genesis 14:18 mean when it says that Melchizedek was a priest of God Most High? What "time period" is the Melchizedekian Priesthood for? How are we in this time period today? 5.    Melchizedek was a king from Salem, which is later renamed as "Jerusalem." The name "Salem" means "peace." What does this indicate about this "King of Peace"? What does this suggest about the nature of the Lord's heavenly city? 6.    The study cites Psalm 110:4 twice. Psalm 110:4 says, "The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.'" What insights did the study explain about this verse? Who is this verse addressing? How "long" will this priesthood last? 7.    According to the study, what object lesson did the priesthood teach? As New Covenant believers, who is our priest? How does He reconcile us to God?  8.    What did you think about the principle in the study that said sinful people can have fellowship with Satan, but not with a holy God? How might Satan seek to give people a semblance of spirituality as a way of keeping them from approaching God through Jesus, our only true High Priest?  9.    According to the study, how does Jesus serve now, as our High Priest? In your personal times of prayer and worship, do you approach the Lord through the atonement of Jesus? Why or why not?  10.    One of the most important takeaways from this passage is that Jesus is in the priesthood of Melchizedek. We see this also in Psalm 110:4 and later in Hebrews 7:17. Why is this vital to understanding the priesthood of the New Covenant, versus the priesthood of the Old Covenant?  11.    Having taken this time to think about the priesthood, the Lord has only appointed two priesthoods, that of Aaron and Melchizedek. What does this indicate about the other priesthoods that man has created in this world? Why are they not necessary?  12.    Before this study, did you understand your need for a priest to reconcile you to God? How will this study change your understanding of how you approach Him?

Episode Notes:Key Takeaways:Jesus prayed because he was fully human, not because he was less than God.Prayer isn't about informing God—it's about aligning with God.Jesus' prayer life shows us that communion with the Father is essential, not optional.Scripture References:Philippians 2:7 - Jesus "emptied himself" and took on "the form of a servant"Luke 5:16 - "Jesus often withdrew to desolate places and prayed"Luke 22:42 - Jesus in Gethsemane: "Not my will, but yours, be done"Matthew 6:10 - "Your kingdom come, your will be done"John 17 - Jesus' High Priestly PrayerHebrews 4:14-16 - Jesus as our High Priest who understands our weaknessesKey Concepts:The Incarnation: Jesus is fully God and fully humanPerfect Humanity: Jesus modeled what it looks like to be perfectly dependent on GodPrayer as Alignment: Prayer changes us by realigning our will with God's willThe Trinity: Jesus' prayers reveal the relationship between Father, Son, and Holy SpiritCommunion vs. Transaction: Prayer is relationship with God, not a wish listThis Week's Question to Consider: If Jesus, who is God, made prayer a priority, what does that say about your prayer life?Challenge: This week, follow Jesus' example. Withdraw to a quiet place. Spend time with the Father. Not to inform him, but to align with him.Next Week: How can Jesus be both fully God and fully man?

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.

As we prepare for the return of the King, we must focus on the most critical part of our spiritual anatomy: the mind. Dr. Davis breaks down the four characteristics of a sound mind and explains why integrity is the essential fuel for an anointed life. -- The mind is the linchpin of the soul; you cannot walk in power while your thoughts are in disorder. -- Integrity is defined as the perfect alignment of your thoughts, your words, and your physical actions. -- A sound mind is characterized by being cool, calm, collected, and disciplined through the Word of God. -- The power of the tongue determines life and death, but those words must be backed by a lifestyle of walking in the Truth. -- Tithing is a covenant protection for your finances, especially as we approach the great wealth transfer of 2026. -- Fasting is not just about abstaining from food; it is about casting your burdens on the High Priest and surrendering your passions. Scriptures for Further Study -- 2 Timothy 1:7 -- Proverbs 23:7 -- Proverbs 18:21 -- Matthew 6:33 -- Matthew 4:1-11 This is episode 388. +++++++ Check out my new website: https://www.enterthegloryzone.org/ MY AUDIO BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE You can Divorce Proof Your Marriage by understanding the Secret Keys of Love.

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.

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.

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")?

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?
