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!

Pastor Tim continues our Advent series: Prophet, Priest and King by unpacking what it means that Jesus is the last great High Priest. 

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God ­breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty­-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical ­historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16­-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:5­8). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3­5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9­10). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:18­19). A message from Seneca Bible Baptist Church: “We would love to have you visit! “If you are looking for a church in the Seneca Falls, New York area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

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 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.

So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's journey together into God's Word and presence—because the truest thing about you is that you are deeply loved. 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  

When faith feels thin and church life shows more thorns than fruit, where do you turn for steady ground? We open Hebrews 6:9–18 and find a surprising lift: God remembers every act of love, calls us to serve until the end, and anchors our hope with an oath He swore by His own name. This isn't self-help; it's soul ballast. We move from the everyday trenches of showing up for people in our local church small groups to the towering heights of the Abrahamic covenant and the God who cannot lie.We start with the “better things that accompany salvation,” clarifying why diligence matters and why love toward the saints should be our first reflex. The conversation gets practical about how real care happens in close-knit community, not just from the pulpit or staff. If you've ever wondered whether unseen service counts, Hebrews answers with a firm yes—God is not unjust to forget your work or your love for His name.Then we climb into the theology that makes this hope unshakable. God promised Abraham land, a great nation, and blessing to all nations, and he ratified those promises by swearing an oath on Himself. That one-sided covenant underwrites our New Testament confidence: the Body of Christ's future doesn't hinge on human strength, but on divine faithfulness. Waiting, like Abraham did, becomes an act of trust, not a mark of failure.Finally, we explore Jesus as our true refuge and the anchor of our souls, the forerunner who has entered behind the veil as our High Priest.

“Our Great High Priest” • Hebrews 4:14-5:10 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.    The way to God is guarded from us because of our sin. Therefore, we need a high priest to make intercession for us with a Holy God. Jesus Christ is our Great High Priest. He perfectly fills the role of priest in that He offered Himself once for our sins and is compassionately giving us aide in times of need.  This message was preached on Sunday, June 9, 2024.

In this message, we discuss frankincense, the ancient oil used by priests as incense, and explore why it points to Jesus as our High Priest who stands between God's holiness and our real, messy lives.Support the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

As we enter the Christmas season, it's easy to get swept up in the lights, music, and festivities while missing the profound truth at the center of it all. This message invites us to look beyond the wrapping paper and discover the gift of frankincense brought to Jesus by the wise men—a gift that reveals Jesus as our High Priest. In Matthew 2, we encounter scholars who traveled hundreds of miles to bow before a baby, recognizing what so many missed: this wasn't just another earthly king, but the answer humanity had been waiting for. The frankincense they offered wasn't random; it was the same resin used in temple worship, symbolizing prayers rising to God. By presenting it to Jesus, they declared that this child would stand between us and God, bridging the gap our sin created. Understanding Jesus as our High Priest transforms everything—how we pray, how we deal with shame, how we approach God. We learn that Jesus empathizes with our struggles because He lived them, carries our shame because He died for it, and opens the way to God because He tore the veil separating us. This Christmas, we're challenged to stop trying to fix ourselves and instead come as we are to the One who already paid the price. The cross wasn't just enough—it was more than enough. What shame are we carrying that God never asked us to bear? What keeps us from coming boldly to the throne of grace? This season, the greatest gift isn't under a tree—it's the person of Jesus, our perfect High Priest.Subscribe    / @celebratechurch  Celebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

Most Christians celebrate Christmas. We remember the Cross. We rejoice in the Resurrection every single Sunday. But the Ascension? For many believers, it's the forgotten chapter of Jesus' saving work. Yet Scripture treats the Ascension not as a footnote—but as the climax of Christ's exaltation. His return to the Father. His royal coronation. His enthronement as King. His ongoing ministry as our High Priest. And the guarantee that He will return to make all things new. In Part 11, of The Creed Series Pastor Roger Pettay will open the Scriptures and answer two massive questions: 1. What did the Ascension mean for Jesus? 2. Why does the Ascension still matter for us today? Subscribe, comment, and share. #ApostlesCreed #Ascension #TheAscension #KingJesus #KingofKings #Faith #ChristianPodcast #SermonPodcast

Texts: Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:1-28; 10:19-25   Jesus is the Sympathetic Priest Who We Can Approach Confidently (Heb. 4:14-16) In Jesus we have a compassionate priest who perfectly understands our condition. In Jesus we have an effective priest who has given us complete access to God. Through Jesus, we can hold fast to our confession of faith.   Jesus is the Eternal Priest Who Saves Us Completely (Heb. 7:1-28) In Genesis, Melchizedek foreshadows Jesus' character, ministry, and supremacy. Jesus is the greater and eternal Priest-King who intercedes for and saves sinners to the uttermost by His once-for-all death on the cross.   Jesus is the Great High Priest Who Calls Us to Live Righteously (Heb. 10:19-25) Because of what Jesus accomplished as our Great High Priest, we are live holy lives with unwavering confidence in His faithfulness. Because of what Jesus accomplished as our Great High Priest, we are to motivate one another to love and good works.

This Advent message invites us to rediscover peace by looking closely at three responses to the birth of Jesus in Matthew 2:1-12. King Herod opposed Him, the religious leaders overlooked Him, and the Magi opened their hearts in worship. What makes the story so striking is that the ones who traveled farthest, both physically and spiritually, were the ones who truly found Him. These Magi were outsiders, coming from a place the Bible often associates with darkness, yet they were the ones searching for light. Their gifts carried deep meaning: gold for the King, frankincense for the High Priest, and myrrh pointing to His sacrificial death. Through their example we see that biblical peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of Christ in the middle of whatever we face. Following Jesus may bring opposition, but it also brings the promise that no matter how far we feel from God, He is drawing us near. The question this Advent is simple but profound: how will we respond to the gift of the Prince of Peace?

"We don't stand outside the palace, but we've been invited right into God's throne room." - Pastor Steve Dow The High Priesthood and Healing Power of Frankincense The Christmas gift of frankincense profoundly declares that Jesus is our Great High Priest for all eternity, the one who is our access to the throne room of God. Pastor Steve Dow explores how frankincense, in its Old Testament connection to the altar of incense, represents worship, prayer, and the very presence of God. This message reveals that through Christ, we can boldly approach God's throne and experience the healing power of the High Priest in three key areas: shame, broken relationships/bitterness, and anxiety/fear. Discover how bringing your frankincense—your worship, prayer, and surrender—brings down God's peace and healing presence into your broken life. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 2)Hebrews 2:14–17 shows that Christmas matters because God became truly human in Jesus—not in sin, but in our flesh—to accomplish what no one else could. By taking on our nature, Christ destroyed the devil's power, silenced his accusations, and freed us from the fear and slavery of death. As the perfect High Priest, He represents us before God, bears our sin in propitiation, and gives us His righteousness. Jesus became like us so He could save us, stand for us, and bring us into the life and hope only He can give.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on December 7, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Welcome! We Are Glad You Are Here!Today we are in Hebrews 2:5-18Jesus, Our Merciful High PriestFollow along in the following verses in order of presentationHebrews 2:5, Hebrews 2:1, 1 Corinthians 6:3, Psalm 8:3, Hebrews 2:6-8, Genesis 1:26, Hebrews 2:9, 1 Corinthians 15, Ezekiel 18, Romans 6:23, John 12:27, Matthew 20:28, 1 Timothy 1:15, John 3:16-17, Luke 24:25-27, Hebrews 2:10-12, Psalm 22:22, Hebrews 2:13-18, Romans 8:33-34, Hebrews 8:1

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 7th of December, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Numbers 6:22-26: “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:“The Lord bless you and keep you;The Lord make His face shine upon you,And be gracious to you;The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,And give you peace.” 'What a beautiful blessing from God, spoken by Aaron, the High Priest! Then we go to the Gospel of John 14:27. Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” What a beautiful blessing from the Master, Himself! Now, I remember many years ago, I don't know if this is true, it probably is, or just a legend, but when John, the last apostle, was a very old man they would bring him in to the different meetings and as he would walk in, the first thing he would say was, ”Little children, love one another.” And often they would say, “But John, you always say that when you come to visit us - the first thing you say, 'little children love one another'.” Then tears would fill his eyes and he would say, “Because that is what the Master used to say to us.” Yes, John was the last disciple, and he quoted Jesus.I want to say to you over this Christmas period, “Little children, love one another and bless each other in a world that has gone upside-down, where it is all about “me”, and “give me this!” and “give me that!” and “this is mine!” Just love one another. There is nothing more powerful in this world, especially in the family. When family come home, be patient with them and love them. When there is turmoil in the family, just love one another and the Holy Spirit will do the rest.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful Sunday,Goodbye.

Sermon Outline Christ Our Priest: The Word Incarnate December 7, 2025 Hebrews 4:14-16 Pastor Tony Felich Sermon Application [file] ----more---- Hebrews 4:14 Since then 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 is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16] 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 Christ is our merciful and mighty High Priest, we can persevere by coming confidently to His throne of grace. I. The role of priests II. How Jesus compares III. Two exhortations in light of Jesus our Great High Priest: a. Hold fast to our confession (in Christ) b. Draw near to the throne of grace

Today we explore the miracle of the incarnation, God not just hearing us from heaven, but stepping into our world as Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. Unlike the distant hope of letters to Santa, Jesus is the God who showed up in person, taking on flesh, walking our roads, carrying our sorrows, and understanding our weakness firsthand. As our perfect High Priest, He doesn’t just save us from afar; He stands beside us in our sin, shame, and need, just as He did with the woman caught in adultery. This Christmas we remember that the greatest gift is Jesus Himself. God with skin on, God who draws near, and God who will never leave us.

The ascension of Christ is not a mere conclusion to His earthly ministry but a pivotal act of divine exaltation with profound theological significance. Far from being a passive departure, Christ's ascension marks His restoration to the full glory He shared with the Father before creation, His enthronement as Lord and King over all creation, and His ongoing role as heavenly High Priest, Prophet, and Head of the Church. Through His ascension, He secured eternal redemption by presenting His sacrificial blood in heaven, prepared a place for believers, led Old Testament saints into paradise, sent the Holy Spirit to empower the Church, and inaugurated His mediatorial kingdom—where He now rules with authority, fills all things, bestows spiritual gifts, and continues to reveal God's Word through the Spirit. This event, rooted in Scripture and culminating in Christ's eternal reign, transforms the believer's present reality, ensuring that though Christ is no longer seen physically, He remains spiritually present, actively governing history, interceding for His people, and preparing for His final return.

Wednesday, 3 December 2025   But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30   “And seeing the forcible wind, he feared, and having begun to submerge, he croaked, saying, ‘Lord, You save me!'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Peter came down from the boat and commenced walking to Jesus. Matthew next records, “And seeing the forcible wind, he feared.”   It is the standard error that believers find themselves in to this day. What does it take to see the forcible wind? Follow the sequence of events:   Jesus: “You embolden! I, I am! You fear not!” Peter: “Lord, if You – You are – You command me to come to You upon the waters.” Jesus: “And He said, “You come!” Peter: He walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus. Peter: And seeing the forcible wind.   Jesus is the Object. Peter sees Jesus and petitions Him. Jesus directs Peter to come. Peter comes, looking at Jesus. Peter... takes his eyes off Jesus, “and having begun to submerge, he croaked.”   A new word is seen here, katapontizó, to plunge down, and thus to submerge. It is derived from kata, down against, and the same root as the area known as Pontus found in Acts 2:9 and 1 Peter 1:1. This word will only be seen again in Matthew 18:6.   Peter got distracted from what is most important. Jesus was the target to obtain. In allowing the distractions to take his eyes off the goal, his attention was likewise distracted. With his attention distracted, he was no longer mentally focused on what allowed him to walk on the water in the first place. Because of this, he cried out, “saying, ‘Lord, You save me!'”   Again, it is the standard response believers make in hopes of correcting their own blunders to this day: Believer is focused on Jesus. Believer takes his eyes off of Jesus and gets caught up in an infraction of the law, a particular sin, etc. Believer is now in a bad, bad pickle, finding no way of fixing his own slip-up. And so, believer croaks in his soul and to Jesus, “Help me! Help me, Lord Jesus!”   Life application: One of the most important thoughts for believers recorded in the New Testament is found in the first few words of Hebrews 12:2 –   “Eyeballing unto the ‘the faith Pioneer and Perfecter,' Jesus” (CG). Scholars repeatedly say that Peter's error was a lack of faith. And it is true that Jesus will call him ‘little-faithed' in the next verse. But Peter had faith, even if it was little. That was not the immediate problem. Rather, Peter took his eyes off of the Object of his faith.   The pastor who has been faithfully preaching to his congregation for many years may have amazing faith, but when he meets with a woman for counseling, his eyes may be misdirected from Jesus. At such a time, calamity may be just around the corner. It happened to David, and none of us is above such a lapse of judgment.   Along with Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 3:1 says, “Thence, holy brothers – heavenly calling participants, you scrutinize the Apostle and High Priest, our confession, Jesus!”   We are not just to look in the direction of Jesus, we are to eyeball Him and to scrutinize Him, mentally considering Him at all times. When we fail to do this, we begin to sink into the troubled seas around us. In 1 Chronicles 29, David, a man who understood what it meant to take his eyes off the Lord and to sink into sin, petitioned the Lord for just this type of determination for His flock –   “O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.”   Should we have any less of a heart? If not, then let us pray for such fixed determination. And while we are asking for our own strength, let us remember our fellow believers, those in our church, our pastors and teachers, and anyone else who comes to mind.   May we learn to direct our attention to Jesus, always remembering the sacred words of Scripture, “Eyeballing unto the ‘the faith Pioneer and Perfecter,' Jesus” (CG). Nothing else will do. All else will lead to a sad set of circumstances that may jeopardize our lives, our relationships, and our witness for the Lord Jesus.   Lord God, we are weak and frail creatures who need to constantly focus our hearts and souls on You. We should always scrutinize Jesus as if looking over the finest gem or most beautiful flower, considering every detail of His majesty. Help us to be focused on Him at all times. In this, we will be in the right frame of mind to handle all challenges we face. Amen.

Our story picks up with Joash (the hidden royal) being brought forth at the age of seven and hailed as the king of Judah followed by the death of Athaliah. Peace reigns in Judah as we see over 100 years of four fairly "good" kings reigning in Judah from 835-731 B.C. These kings started well but didn't always finish well: Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah and Jotham. King Joash     ⁃    Takes the kingship at age 7     ⁃    Jehoiada, the High Priest, is Joash's mentor, advisor and instructor     ⁃    Spiritual reformation was taking place across Judah as Joash starts out so well with Jehoiada as his advisor -  until Jehoiada's death     ⁃    Joash then gets new advisors (2 Chronicles 24:17-18) and they led him astray, worshiping idols and God's anger came.     ⁃    Zechariah is the High Priest after Jehoiada. Zechariah was Jehoiada's son. He tells Joash and his new advisors of their sin against God, so they plot to kill him. 2 Chronicles 24:20. Zechariah is stoned to death.     ⁃    Hazael is victorious in bottles over Judah     ⁃    Then Joash's assignation follows Amaziah      ⁃    Amaziah is Joash's son - Amaziah starts well but doesn't finish well, following the pattern of his father.     ⁃    Mercenaries come from Israel     ⁃    Amaziah is given victory as he acts on the words of God through a prophet.  2 Chronicles 25:9      ⁃    But then Amaziah brings idols back from that victory. 2 Chronicles 25:15. Again a prophet comes to Amaziah to warn him, but this time Amaziah doesn't listen.      ⁃    He is then defeated by Jehoash, king of Israel and he too is assassinated. King Uzziah (also known as Azariah)     ⁃    Uzziah is Amaziah's son. 2 Chronicles 26:4-5 tells that he had godly counsel and as long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.     ⁃    He was an extremely capable king     ⁃    Ruled for 52 years     ⁃    In Israel, Jeroboam II was ruling. Uzziah and Jeroboam II expanded both nations to the original size of the kingdom at the time of David and Solomon.     ⁃    New prophets arise during the reign of Jeroboam II and Uzziah: Jonah, Amos, Hosea and Isaiah     ⁃    Their kingdoms experienced the glory days of David and Solomon     ⁃    But then Uzziah does not finish well. His pride went to his head and he usurped the role of the priests in burning the incense and immediately gets leprosy.  2 Chronicles 26:16-17 King Jotham     ⁃    Uziah's son, Jotham becomes king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 27:2. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but the people, however, continued their corrupt practices.     ⁃    Battle with the Ammonites - Godly king who is victorious over the Ammonites. 2 Chronicles 27:6     ⁃    Prosperity & Spiritual decline begins. The renewal did not spread throughout all the people.      ⁃    We see the growing power of their enemy in Assyria Next week our story continues with the rise of the power of the Assyrians. Now What?

In this powerful message, "The Nearness of the Lord," Pastor Peter asserts that we are in a unique cultural moment and a season being shaped by God drawing near to His church. He anchors this truth in Psalm 73:28, declaring, "But as for me, the nearness of God is my good". Drawing on the resurrection account where Jesus entered a locked room to minister to His disciples (John 20:19-22) and appeared to them for forty days before His ascension (Acts 1:1-3), Peter explains that the Lord is drawing near today to prepare His church and bring it out of prayerlessness and into oneness. This shift redefines our understanding of ecclesiology—the nature of the church—by emphasizing that it is not about debates or governance, but about Lordship, esteeming the Lord's presence, and remembering the cautionary tale of treating God's presence casually. Thanks to Jesus, who is the faithful High Priest, the church is being restored to its identity as a kingdom of priests to God the Father (Revelation 1:6), called to draw near to Him. Listen as Pastor Peter urges believers to awaken from slumber and slothfulness, embrace a volunteer spirit, and mobilize the priesthood of all believers, preparing the church to cry out, "Maranatha, come Lord Jesus".
