Podcasts about high priests

On today's page, Menachot 25, we discover a ritual object so powerful it can purify even the defiled. The Tzitz, the golden front plate worn by the High Priest, serves as a bridge between human failure and Divine acceptance, acting almost like a spiritual lie detector for the soul. How can a single piece of gold help atone for the "tough-mindedness" of our own pride and vanity? Listen and find out.

Maybe it's because my father-in-law was a corrections officer for a while, and I've heard his stories about the wasted lives behind prison bars. Whatever the reason, I've always admired the men who minister as prison chaplains. That's a tough ministry, but it's a ministry so desperately needed. My friend Bill works as a prison chaplain. This particular incident he shared with me touched me then and touches me now. Bill had been visiting this cell block and as chaplain, he went out to the exercise yard for some fresh air. Three tough young inmates walked up to him and one said, "Hey, mister, are you broke?" Bill kind of fished around in his pocket and didn't find any money in there. And the inmate said, "It doesn't matter, man. Your money's no good in here anyway. Now, are you broke?" This time the inmate was insistent about it. Here's what he said, "Mister, don't try to minister to people in here if you ain't broke, because we all are." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "A Broken Savior for Broken People." You don't have to go inside a prison to find people who are, in the words of that inmate, broke. There's so much pain today and so much heartache from broken things: broken families, broken health, a broken heart, and broken trust. You may be "broke" perhaps even in spite of a life that's successful and an outward image that's looking fine. Now, our word for today from the Word of God, Hebrews 4:14 - "Since we have a great High Priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess." Here Jesus is called High Priest. And we learn from the Old Testament that those are the ones who represented people to God. So Jesus is now our personal representative with God in heaven. Let's say that young inmate could walk up to Jesus and ask, "Are you broke?" He would need to hear that next verse, verse 15. Here's what it says, "We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence." He's walked in our shoes. He's felt what we feel and we can come to Him with confidence. We're coming to a Savior who has lived the feelings that we are bringing to Him. He knows what it is to be poor. He knows what it feels like to be turned on by your family; to be betrayed by someone very close. It all happened to Him. He knew what it was like to be lonely. He was all of those. This Savior knows our pain. He gets us! There are other people who could empathize. There are some counselors who can help you understand the pain, but only Jesus can carry your pain and begin to heal a lifetime of scars. He says, "I came to bind up the broken hearted." But the great tragedy could be this: You're needlessly carrying all your hurt alone, because this Savior isn't your Savior, because you've never given yourself to Him. We're all the victims of people's sin, and we're sinners ourselves. Sin is our personal rebellion against our Creator saying, "God, you run the universe and I'll run me" because we're away from the One we were made by. We keep making choices that increase our pain. But Jesus is saying to you today, "Why are you carrying that all alone? I died for you. Won't you let Me be your Savior? Let me pick up your pain. Let me begin to apply my love to your wounds." Don't walk alone one more day. Let this be the day you let this Jesus start driving the life that He died for and that He made. You ready for Him to take over? Well, then, why don't you tell Him that right now, "Jesus, I'm yours." Our website can help you get there. Please go there today. It's ANewStory.com. I hope you'll check it out. If a person says, "Jesus, I'm broke." Someone who's been broke can help you. You see that mangled body of Jesus on that blood-stained cross, and you see that the Son of God was broken so you don't have to be broken any more.

Read OnlineWhen the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,” and to offer the sacrifice of “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,” in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Luke 2:22–24The Presentation of the Lord reveals two beautiful paradoxes: the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the ritual redemption of Jesus, her firstborn Son. Both actions follow the Law of Moses, yet each unveils a deeper mystery about Christ and His Mother, offering us a mystery to enter and an example to follow.First, we ponder the Blessed Virgin Mary's purification. The Law stated that a woman who gave birth to a son needed ritual purification (cf. Leviticus 12). Yet Mary, being immaculately conceived and preserved entirely from all stain of sin, had no need for purification. Nevertheless, she fulfilled the Law, setting before us a model of perfect humility and obedience. Knowing her own interior purity, she could have objected, but she did not, because she valued obedience to God's law above her own justification. She teaches us that true holiness embraces humble submission over self-assertion. Humility, in its beauty and holiness, always conquers pride's selfishness and self-elevation. Our Blessed Mother knew and lived that.The second paradox is found in Jesus' presentation. The Law required every firstborn son to be presented to the Lord and redeemed in remembrance of the Passover (cf. Exodus 13; Numbers 3 and 18). Yet Jesus is the eternal Son of God, the true High Priest and Spotless Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. He needed no redemption, for He is God Himself. Still, Christ was presented in the Temple so that we might be presented with Him to the Father. In His humility, He united Himself to our human nature—without sin—so that we might be truly consecrated to God through Him. Again, virtue wins out, as Christ invites us to share in His humility.The Presentation also foreshadows the other ways Jesus would redeem us through His human life. In His Baptism, though sinless, He submits to a rite of repentance so we might be sanctified through baptism ourselves. In His Passion, though innocent, He suffers for us, paying our debt—a debt we must humbly admit that we cannot repay on our own. In His Resurrection, His humility is crowned with eternal glory, opening the way for us to share in His divine life—if we humble ourselves with Him.Like our Blessed Mother, we are called to submit obediently to God's will, rejecting the pride that tempts us to think we are above certain duties or sacrifices. True holiness embraces sacrifice freely out of love, rather than seeking exemption from it. Even undeserved hardships bear fruit when endured with Christ. True holiness also perceives the beauty of joyful obedience to God's will, rather than asserting our own.Like Jesus, we are called to offer ourselves completely to the Father. As Jesus was ritually offered in the Temple, we must see ourselves in that offering. He was offered for us. By uniting ourselves with Him in His humility, we are redeemed through His offering to the Father. We become children in the Son, received by the Father who accepted Christ's perfect offering. In Him, our offering becomes perfect, and we find our eternal home with the Father. Reflect today on the hidden ways God invites you to imitate these paradoxes. Are there areas where you resist humble obedience, preferring your own will over God's? Are there sacrifices you are tempted to avoid, forgetting that true love embraces the Cross? Offer yourself to the Father with Mary's obedience and Christ's perfect humility so that your life, like theirs, may become a pure offering of love. Most humble Lord, You were obedient to the Father's will in all things. From the mystery of Your Incarnation, to Your humble birth in a cave, Your ritual presentation and redemption in the Temple, and Your sacrificial Death and Resurrection, You acted with perfect holiness, humility, and obedience. Please draw me into Your life—into Your Presentation to the Father, Your Death, and Your Resurrection. Live within me, dear Lord, so that I may live in You, sharing in the glory You desire to bestow. Jesus, I trust in You.  Images via Adobe Stock - Main & FeaturedSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      A. Twelve disciples chosen and commissioned. 1. (Matthew 10:1-4) The twelve disciples are listed. And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. a. When He had called His twelve disciples to Him: The main feature of this list is its diversity. Jesus chose His disciples from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. About all they had in common was it seems that none of them were privileged or from backgrounds of high status. This is very much in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. b. He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease: Jesus did not only call the twelve; He also gave them power to do what He had called them to do. The same principle holds true today: whom God calls, God equips. The equipping may not be completely evident before the ministry begins, but it will be evident along the way. c. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: These twelve (excepting Judas, of course), have an important place in God's plan of redemption, including some particular role in the future judgment (Matthew 19:28), and in the founding of the church (Ephesians 2:20). The Bible promises that their position and work will be remembered through eternity (Revelation 21:14). i. This is the first and only time in Matthew that the twelve are called apostles. “The word apostle literally means one who is sent out; it is the word for an envoy or an ambassador.” (Barclay) “Called here for the first and last time apostoloi, with reference at once to the immediate minor mission and to the later great one.” (Bruce) The word apostle can mean a mere messenger, as in John 13:16, referring to he who is sent. Jesus is called an apostle in Hebrews 3:1: consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. Paul sometimes used the word in the sense of messengers or representatives, as in 2 Corinthians 8:23: they are messengers [apostles] of the churches; possibly also in Romans 16:7. Yet Paul also used the term in a more narrow sense, referring to the Twelve and himself by special dispensation (1 Corinthians 9:1-5 and 15:7-10; Galatians 1:17 and 1:19 following).

If you find yourself in a court of law, you'll need an attorney to speak on your behalf. In the Old Testament, the priests represented the people. But if you come to Jesus in faith, He is your High Priest and He intercedes for you.

The High Priest decides enough is enough: The high priest and several captains decide to make Joash king Joash becomes king at age seven Athaliah hears all the noise and believes it is treason Everything Athaliah built gets destroyed, even the fake Baal religion Hey!

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

Hebrews says God's Word isn't a butter knife—it's living, active, and sharp, and we talk about what it looks like to stop using the Bible for comfort-only Christianity and start letting it form us into people who actually rest in Christ, not in control.Then we zoom in on the good news: Jesus isn't a vague spiritual concept, He is the actual High Priest. He sympathizes with our weakness, invites us to come boldly for mercy and help, and leads us into maturity.Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.

In Hebrews 3:1-6, we're reminded that because Jesus is the faithful Son over God's house, we must fix our eyes on him and hold fast in persevering faith. Writing to believers tempted to drift back to old loyalties, the author calls us to remember who we are in Christ and to carefully consider who Jesus is: the Apostle sent from God and the High Priest who brings us to God. Persevering faith doesn't rest in our effort or consistency, but in continually looking to and trusting in Jesus, our unfailing hope.

Study the daily lesson of Sefer HaMitzvos for day 332 with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, where he teaches the mitzvah in-depth with added insight and detail.

Many have no awareness that walking with God is rooted in a work He alone accomplishes, and a simple faith we are called to exercise. When we lead by serving, it requires obedience that follows cleansing through God's sacrifice, and that obedience demands complete surrender. These actions point us forward to our true High Priest, our Messiah Jesus, who offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice without sin and denied His own will by leading in perfect obedience to our heavenly Father.

Jarek Berga - January 25th 2025 When fear gives people more weight than God, idolatry quietly takes root. In this message, Jarek pauses our journey through Matthew to walk us through Exodus 32, the story of the golden calf. Rather than treating idolatry as an ancient or obvious sin, Jarek exposes how fear subtly reshapes our worship today—especially when the voices of people begin to carry more weight than the voice of God. When the vertical relationship with God fades, the horizontal pressures of approval, performance, and independence grow until people feel like giants and obedience feels impossible. Through the contrast between Aaron and Moses, we see two very different responses to pressure. Aaron edits God's word to calm the crowd, preserving peace at the cost of obedience. Moses, however, goes to God for the people, interceding rather than compromising. This distinction becomes the heart of the message: fear elevates people above God, but love brings people before God. The sermon ultimately points us to Jesus, our greater High Priest, who succeeds where Aaron and Moses fail. While we often cave, stay silent, or resist authority, Jesus always lives to intercede for us. He pleads our case before the Father, restores proper perspective, and frees us from the exhausting burden of seeking approval or defending independence. As His voice becomes the loudest in our lives, people return to their proper size—and God returns to His rightful place.

The passage in Ezra 2:40–42, detailing the return of 74 Levites, 128 singers from Asaph's lineage, and 139 gatekeepers, serves as part of the theological and liturgical foundation for the restoration of God's temple and people after exile, symbolizing the resurrection of divine order and worship. These roles—Levites as temple caretakers, singers as worship leaders, and gatekeepers as guardians of holiness—reflect a divinely ordered structure that prefigures Christ's work as the ultimate High Priest, Gatekeeper, and Living Temple, where all believers now serve in functionally Levitical roles. The meticulous genealogical verification underscores the necessity of authentic identity and faithfulness in God's service, mirroring the New Testament reality of being sealed by the Spirit and called to live as holy, worshiping, and mission-driven people. Through Christ, the old covenant's rituals are fulfilled: the presence of God is no longer confined to a physical temple but dwells in believers, who now carry His law in their hearts, proclaim His glory through song, and guard the boundaries of His kingdom with discernment. This passage thus reveals a profound gospel truth—exile is ended, resurrection life is restored, and all who are in Christ are invited to feast with God in eternal fellowship, not by merit, but by grace through faith in the one who opened the way.

** 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.

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

We Need A Great High Priest (Hebrews 5:1-6)

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?
