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: Genesis 14 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?

Being anointed is often be seen as synonymous with a platform or a feeling you have after experiencing someone gifted, but it's much more than that. I got to have an amazing conversation with EJ Gaines about being anointed for business, and let's be clear...EJ IS an anointed businessman. Erik Justin (“EJ”) Gaines is the Senior Vice President of Marketing at Capitol CMG and Co-Executive Director of Motown Gospel, divisions of Capitol Records/Universal Music Group. An entertainment lawyer and former artist manager with 20 years of experience in the music business, EJ Gaines has guided the careers of GRAMMY Award-winning recording artists, producers and songwriters, as well as producers and talent in film and television.
