Goring Bible Reading: “We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.” - Hebrews 6:18-20 (MSG) A few years ago, while waiting to be seen in a hospital, I stepped into the women’s restroom and saw something that inspired this devotional: a lifeline. It was a red label with white-inked words instructing me to pull the attached red string if I needed help. The sight of this made me think about how Jesus Christ is our lifeline. Earlier this year, I saw a reel via Instagram of a young girl around age 11 or 12. She was captured on camera rushing onto the concert stage before security could catch her and embracing her favorite singer. Prior to this, I could see that the singer was performing at a calm, steady pace as she walked across the stage, holding the microphone near her face. When the young girl rushed onto the stage, the singer wasn’t fazed. She let the young girl wrap her arms around her waist and rest her head on her midsection as she leaned in for a tight hug that obviously meant the world to her. This girl received a 10-second embrace before security reached her and carried her away. When I saw this reel, it spoke volumes to me because it helped me realize several things. I realized that I have been there before because I have had favorite singers over the years—both secular and Christian—and I know what it’s like to cope with their music to the point where it feels like your favorite singer and their songs are your lifeline. When feeling sad or depressed, I would listen to a song that served as catharsis for my feelings, working it out of my system until I felt better. It was obvious to me that the singer in the Instagram reel was that young girl’s lifeline. Her music must have brought this girl through tough times and inspired her heart. Whether feeling happy or sad, this singer’s songs were obviously the soundtrack to her fans’ lives. It was obvious that she loved this musician with all her heart. It was also clear that this singer appreciated her fans because she let this girl hug her for more than a second without pushing her away. Jesus Christ also never pushes us away. And unlike any human—famous singer or not—He is our true lifeline. Only Jesus can save our souls. And He gave us a beautiful way to reach Him as our lifeline. That gift is prayer. I follow a page on Instagram that’s hosted by Ellie Mont. Last year, she said something very profound about prayer being our lifeline. These are a few quotes from her post on Instagram that support my devotional message today: First, she acknowledges that life can be hard for most people. Mont said, “Life often feels like a series of challenges and roadblocks that drain our strength. We try to be strong, to figure it all out on our own, but sometimes it just feels like too much. In those moments, we must remember we do not walk alone.” Second, she reminds us that Jesus walks with us. She also delivers a powerful line about the gift God gave us to reach Him and communicate with Him. Mont said, “Prayer is more than a religious habit or a last resort. It is a lifeline. It is a personal conversation with the God who created you, who sees everything you face, and who cares about every detail of your life. When you cannot handle the weight of your problems, you can bring them to the One who can. God does not ask you to be perfect. He asks you to come to Him just as you are.” Third, Mont reminds us that God wants to hear our hearts no matter how we feel or how messy it seems. She said, “You can be honest with Him. You can tell Him your fears, your doubts, your confusion, and your pain. There is nothing too small or too big for God to handle. He is not bothered by your questions or your tears. He welcomes them. He is a Father who wants to help you and walk with you through every season.” Finally, Mont gives us a word of encouragement for when we feel too discouraged to pray. She said, “Don’t let discouragement silence your voice. Do not let fear steal your hope. Keep praying. Keep trusting. God hears every word, even the ones you cannot say out loud. He sees your heart, and He is working even when you do not see it. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are not powerless. You are loved by a God who listens.” In closing, I’d like to say: Be careful not to make a human or anything that is not God your god or your lifeline, because there is only one true God and one way to heaven. The way is Jesus Christ (John 14:6). He is our lifeline. We need to cling to Christ more than we cling to anybody or anything else.

Preached on Sunday the 2nd of August, 2026 followed by the Lord's Supper.Hebrews 7:1-257 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. 3 He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.4 See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! 5 And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham. 6 But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. 8 In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives. 9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, 10 for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,“You are a priest forever,    after the order of Melchizedek.”18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:“The Lord has sworn    and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever.'”22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

Melchizedek Is Greater Than Abraham?Hebrews 7:1–10Hebrews 7 shows why returning to the Levitical system would be spiritual regression.Melchizedek was both king of righteousness and king of peace, and his priesthood existed before the Law, before Levi, and before Aaron.Abraham, the great patriarch, gave Melchizedek a tenth of the spoils and received a blessing from him. Hebrews explains the significance plainly:The lesser is blessed by the greater.Even Levi, still in Abraham's loins, is said to have paid tithes through Abraham. Therefore, the Levitical priesthood itself acknowledged the superiority of Melchizedek's priesthood.The writer's point is clear: Christ's priesthood, according to the order of Melchizedek, is greater than the Aaronic priesthood.Why return to the lesser when the greater High Priest has come?See full teaching here!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sermon TextPsalm 42-43To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, Where is your God? These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. I say to God, my rock: Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, Where is your God? Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.Psalm 43:2For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?Matthew 26:36-39Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, Sit here, while I go over there and pray. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me. And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.Matthew 27:43He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.'Psalm 43:5Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.Psalm 43:3-4Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.Hebrews 6:19-20We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

This week, Pastor Jess DiSabatino continues our Better series through the book of Hebrews. Pastor Jess DiSabatino unpacks Hebrews 5-7 and reminds us that Jesus is our perfect and eternal High Priest. Unlike earthly priests, Jesus was appointed by God and offers complete salvation to those who trust in Him. Through the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, these chapters show that Christ's priesthood is greater than the old covenant system and will never come to an end. Because Jesus lives forever and continually intercedes for us, we can have confidence that He is able to save us completely and bring us near to God.

Preached on Sunday the 26th of July, 2026.Hebrews 6:13-2013 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

For the writer to the Hebrews, understanding Melchizedek means understanding Jesus. But how can an ancient king help us know the true King of glory?

One of the most mysterious figures in the Bible is Melchizedek, King of Salem, who was also a priest of the Most High God (Gen. 14). Many believe he was a “Christophany”: a bodily appearance of the Christ during the Old Testament era. Is “the order of Melchizedek,” mentioned in Psalm 110, prophetic of New Covenant believers—king/priests who will minister to God forever?

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 322), I take you into the powerful message of the Book of Hebrews and its connection to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Hebrews was written to believers who were tempted to look back, but its message is clear: Jesus is better. Better than the angels, better than Moses, better than Aaron, better than the old covenant, and better than every sacrifice that was ever offered. What the Law, the Tabernacle, and the priesthood could only foreshadow, Jesus fulfilled completely through His death, resurrection, and eternal ministry as our High Priest. From Hebrews 1, Hebrews 8–10, and Leviticus 16, we discover that Jesus is both the perfect sacrifice and the fulfillment of the scapegoat who carried away the sins of the people. His atonement is not annual but eternal. If you have ever wondered whether God's forgiveness is sufficient, whether Christ is enough, or how the Old Testament points directly to the cross, this message will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of the finished work of Jesus Christ. No matter what you face, this truth remains: Jesus is better.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Day of Atonement(00:01:33) - Hebrews(00:03:19) - The Book of Hebrews(00:11:45) - Paul on Melchizedek and the New Covenant(00:15:48) - The Tabernacle of Jesus(00:21:31) - Comparatives in the Book of Hebrews(00:26:25) - The Book of Hebrews(00:30:32) - Yom Kippur(00:38:28) - Jesus is Better Than Moses

The Power of an indestructible Life “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.” Hebrews 6:19-20-7:1-3 NASB “And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. Hebrews 7:15-16 NASB The Power of a Permanent Priesthood “For it is attested of Him, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek…The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing; Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; who has no daily need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this once for all time when He offered up Himself. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, who has been made perfect forever.” Hebrews 7:17, 23-28 NASB The Power of an Eternal and better covenant “For, on the one hand, there is the nullification of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the Law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, there is the introduction of a better hope, through which we come near to God. And to the extent that it was not without an oath (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, “The Lord has sworn And will not change His mind, ‘You are a priest forever'”) by the same extent Jesus also has become the guarantee of a better covenant.” Hebrews 7:18-22 NASB “Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21 NASB

Because Jesus, the Son of God, has passed through the heavens as our great high priest, we are called to hold fast our confession and draw near to the throne of grace with confidence. Unlike every priest before Him, Christ is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, having been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sin. This sermon examines the qualifications of our High Priest from Hebrews 4:14–5:10: appointed by God after the order of Melchizedek, not self-exalted; acquainted with human frailty, offering up prayers with loud cries and tears; and perfected through suffering and obedience, becoming the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. In Christ we find mercy and grace to help in time of need.

July 19 2026 Sunday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 35 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. Isaiah 53:5  Healing… Matthew 18:19  Agree with God's Word… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Acts 10:34  God is no respectåer of persons "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV "Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying." Hebrews 2:14-15 NLT "Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death–that is, the devil– And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives." Hebrews 2:14-15 AMPC "For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted." Hebrews 2:18 KJV "Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested." Hebrews 2:18 NLT "For because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering]." Hebrews 2:18 AMPC "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."ÅÅ Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV "So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." Hebrews 4:14-16 NLT "Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him]. For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]." Hebrews 4:14-16 AMPC "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec:) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament." Hebrews 7:19-22 KJV   "For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God. This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron's descendants became priests without such an oath, but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him, "The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: 'You are a priest forever.'" Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God." Hebrews 7:19-22 NLT "For the Law never made anything perfect–but instead a better hope is introduced through which we [now] come close to God. And it was not without the taking of an oath [that Christ was made Priest], For those who formerly became priests received their office without its being confirmed by the taking of an oath by God, but this One was designated and addressed and saluted with an oath, The Lord has sworn and will not regret it or change His mind, You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. [Ps. 110:4.] In keeping with [the oath's greater strength and force], Jesus has become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement [a more excellent and more advantageous covenant]." Hebrews 7:19-22 AMPC "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises." Hebrews 8:6 KJV "But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises." Hebrews 8:6 NLT "But as it now is, He [Christ] has acquired a [priestly] ministry which is as much superior and more excellent [than the old] as the covenant (the agreement) of which He is the Mediator (the Arbiter, Agent) is superior and more excellent, [because] it is enacted and rests upon more important (sublimer, higher, and nobler) promises."

IntroductionWe confess that Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, but we might ask, “What difference does that make today?”After all, we cannot see him. We still live in a world filled with evil, persecution, and injustice. At times, we might think that Christ has left us as orphans. Psalm 110 answers those doubts. David shows us that Christ's ascension was not his retreat from the world but his glorious enthronement. Our risen Lord now reigns as our King, represents us as our perfect High Priest, and will one day return as righteous Judge. His throne is the church's comfort because his work is complete. So, how do we know this is true?Christ Reigns as Our Enthroned KingPsalm 110 begins with the Father inviting the Son to sit at his right hand. Christ's sitting communicates that this work is 100% complete. Christ has finished his humbling earthly work of redemption and now reigns with all authority.His reign does not mean the world immediately becomes peaceful or enters a golden age. Psalm 110 reminds us that Christ rules in the midst of his enemies. Evil still opposes the gospel and seeks to challenge Christ. The church still faces hostility. History continues to ebb and flow between seasons of ease and seasons of persecution.Nevertheless, none of this threatens Christ's kingdom that is ministered through his church. Even when his enemies rage, they do so only under his sovereign rule. He continues to gather his church, preserve his people, and govern history according to his perfect wisdom. His heavenly throne assures us that appearances of evil, sin, and persecution never overrule Christ's enthronement. Christ truly reigns in the midst of his enemies. Christ Represents Us as Our Eternal PriestWe can say, “Christ is in heaven? He is absent from us! How can you say that he represents us when he is removed from us?” We are asking the wrong questions! We are assured that the ascended Christ is present with his people. He continues his ministry on our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary. He is not like a mere mortal who can only be in one place at a time. He can be in heaven, and still dwell in us and with us. Psalm 110 tells us that Christ is in the order of Melchizedek. He is a priest who ministered in Jerusalem when Abraham triumphed over Lot's captors. Genesis compiles a genealogy for each significant person. However, Melchizedek breaks this trend. He has no genealogy to communicate his birth. He has no record of his death. He is a priest without beginning or end. Christ is a priest in this order. Christ never grows weary interceding on our behalf. Christ never grows weary of protecting us and leading us by his Spirit. In the Holy Spirit, he unites us to himself, strengthens his church, and equips his people to serve him faithfully.Psalm 110 reminds us that God's promise concerning this Priest-King will never change. Unlike the temporary priests of the Old Testament, Christ's priesthood is everlasting. His sacrifice is complete. His intercession never ceases. His protection will never expire. Our acceptance before God rests entirely upon the finished work of Christ. His heavenly enthronement testifies to us that his work is truly complete. Christ Will Return as Our JudgeThe same Christ who now reigns in the midst of his enemies will one day return to judge the living and the dead. His invisible reign will be very visible on the day of his wrath. We realize the day of the Lord after Christ's enthronement, but not the full physical blessings of the day. We already have the guarantee because Christ is enthroned, giving us his Spirit. However, we wait for the fullness. Christ will bring the conclusion to the day of the Lord in the day of his wrath. (Gospel Coalition: “Day of the Lord” is worth a read) For unbelievers, that day will be a day of wrath. Every rebellion against God's King will finally be brought to an end. Christ will address every injustice that has been done. In fact, every knee will bow to Christ. It is better to bow the knee now and take Christ's yoke upon yourself rather than to bow the knee as Christ's enemy on the day of his wrath. When we bow the knee today and take Christ's yoke upon us, we will be comforted by his return. It is on that day when we realize the full physical blessings of the day of the Lord that we will be taken into our rest. Our king will visibly rule us because his eternal priesthood guarantees it. His sitting in glory testifies to the successful completion of his mission. He will bring his people into the full glory of his rest. Ruling in the midst of his enemies is only between his first coming and his second coming.Until that day, we may grow weary. We face suffering, disappointment, and spiritual battles. Yet Psalm 110 closes with the image of refreshment, reminding us that Christ himself sustains his people as they journey toward glory. His people drink from the river of life as they are united to their glorified priest-king. The One who conquered through suffering now supplies his church with the living water that enables us to persevere. He will preserve his people as they persevere in him.ConclusionChrist's ascension is not the story of a Savior who left his people behind. It is the declaration that the work of redemption is finished and that the victorious King now reigns from heaven.He rules over his church in the midst of his enemies. He continually represents us as our faithful High Priest. And he will return to judge the world in perfect righteousness.Therefore, when the struggles of this age tempt us to lose heart, Psalm 110 calls us to lift our eyes to the throne of Christ. Our Priest-King reigns. His kingdom cannot fail. His Spirit sustains his people. And the day is coming when every enemy will publicly bow before him.Until then, let us continue to drink deeply from the river of life. This is the life that he freely gives. Let us rest confidently in our ascended Savior. He unites us to him, we taste his goodness in his Spirit, and he will visibly come to bring us to glory. Let us long for the day when he brings us into the full physical blessings of his kingdom. Today, he rules in the midst of his enemies, but he will bring us to glory on the day of his wrath. Let us drink deeply of the river of life as we walk in his Spirit. He will bring this creation to its glorified goal because his enthronement guarantees it.

Why business fails on defiled ground, how demons occupy territory, and how the Melchizedek priesthood empowers you to take dominion, cleanse the land, and speak authority over your home and business.Connect with Dr. Francis Myles:

Melchiza-who?! You may not be familiar with Melchizedek, but this High Priest has an interesting story in Scripture that is quite connected to Jesus and our salvation. On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk about that Bible character, Melchizedek, who is seldom mentioned but quite important. We talk through the debate in Christianity about who exactly he was. Was he a picture of Jesus? Was he a pre-incarnate Christ? Does it even matter? These are the questions we seek to answer on this podcast.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 4: The Lord Fights for His People (Ch 9-12)1. Gibeonite Deception (Ch 9)- V 1 "Heard of this" - indicator of new military campaign beginning- Observations of the Gibeonites interaction  - Gibeonites know the Israelites are commanded not to make covenants with the people in the promised land because they will teach them their wicked practices, thereby, leading them into idolatry (Deut 7:1-2; 20:10-18)  - They claim the reason they came to Joshua and the Israelites is because they heard what God had done in Egypt and to the two kings beyond the Jordan.  - The Gibeonites are spared because of the consistency of the people's word. The Gibeonites are treated like a people who the Israelites are permitted to make a treaty with (Deut 20:10-11)- Lesson from the Gibeonites  - Fear of consequences tempts us to hide, manipulate, or control the outcome. Faith responds with trust in the character of God.- Lesson from the Israelites  - Goodness and life are found in seeking the Lord's counsel.2. Southern Campaign (Ch 10)- V 1 "Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem" - My Lord is righteousness  - "Melchizedek, king of Salem" (Gen 14:18-20) - King of Righteousness- V 6 Gibeonites request to Joshua is the same as Adoni-Zedek: "come up to me/us" and "help me"  - The one key difference is Gibeon asks for rescue while Adoni-zedek asks for aid in destroying Gibeon.- V 24 Joshua summons the chiefs and tells them to "put their feet on the necks of these kings".  - Gen 3:15- V 42 "And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel."3. Christ Connection- Dawn - a time where God exposes and judges evil symbolizing His victory over darkness.  - Ex 14:24; 1 Sam 11:9; Isa 37:36; Ps 46:5  - Matt 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; John 20:14. Northern Campaign (Ch 11)- V 4 "like the sand that is on the seashore"- V 6 Comparison of Joshua 8 (Ai) and Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign):  Joshua 8 (Ai):  - "Do not fear" (8:1a)  - Reason: "For I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land." (8:1b)  - God announces victory before the battle begins. (8:1)  - Specific military instructions: "You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho... except its spoil and livestock you shall take... Set an ambush..." (8:2)  - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua arose..." (8:3)  - The LORD gives Israel victory. (8:18-29)  Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign):  - "Do not be afraid" (11:6a)  - Reason: "Tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel." (11:6b)  - God announces victory before the battle begins. (11:6)  - Specific military instructions: "You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire." (11:6c)  - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua and all his warriors came suddenly..." (11:7)  - The LORD gives Israel victory. (11:8-15)- V 18 "Joshua made war for a long time" fulfills Ex 23:29-30- V 20 "For it was the Lord's doing to harden their hearts" - Like Pharaoh, God handed the kings and the people over to their desires and hardened their hearts.- V 21-22 Joshua conquers the Giants that caused the wilderness generation to rebel (Num 13:22, 33)5. God's Great Victories (Ch 12)- V 1-6 Kings defeated to the East of the Jordan River- V 7-24 Kings defeated to the West of the Jordan River

Cornerstone “So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone,in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22 NASB How Do I Know If I Am Building My Life On The Cornerstone? “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.” Matthew 7:24-27 NASB Ask the following questions Am I listening? “Concerning him we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, since you have become poor listeners.” Hebrews 5:11 NASB Am I maturing? For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil. Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and about the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And this we will do, if God permits.” Hebrews 5:12-14, 6:1-3 NASB Am I persevering? For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.” Hebrews 6:4-8 NASB Am I hoping? But, beloved, we are convinced of better things regarding you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we are speaking in this way. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, by having served and by still serving the saints.And we desire that each one of you demonstrate the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself,saying, “indeed I will greatly bless you and I will greatly multiply you.” And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise. For people swear an oath by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath serving as confirmation is an end of every dispute. In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to the heirs of the promise the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, confirmed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which enters within the veil,where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:9-20 NASB

MELCHIZEDEK AND JESUS - Mike Blume

“Joseph’s story is a profound masterclass in patience, faith, and trusting in God’s timing, even when the immediate circumstances don’t make sense to the outside world.” In this powerful episode, Richie T sits down with Joseph Freeman Jr., a historic figure in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Following the June 1978 revelation announcing that all worthy male members could receive the priesthood regardless of race or color, Brother Freeman became the first man of black African descent to be ordained an elder in the Melchizedek priesthood. He shares his incredible life journey, his conversion story, and what it was like to live through a monumental moment in Latter-day Saint history. Episode Timeline & Chapters Early Life and Family An introduction to Joseph’s upbringing, his family roots, and the foundation of his faith prior to discovering the restoration. The 1978 Revelation & Receiving the Priesthood Joseph recounts his personal, firsthand experience when the 1978 priesthood revelation was announced, and what it felt like to be ordained shortly thereafter. Conversion, the Army, and Finding Love How his path crossed with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while serving in the military, meeting his wife, his decision to be baptized, and the opposition he faced from loved ones. Joining the Church Under the Restriction Joseph deeply reflects on his mindset when he originally chose to join the Church, knowing at the time that he would not be able to hold the priesthood or enter the temple. Reading the Book of Mormon The spiritual impact of reading the Book of Mormon for the first time and how it solidified his testimony. Baptism and Early Church Experiences What it was like navigating his early days as a Black member of the Church in the 1970s prior to the revelation. Temple Sealing by Thomas S. Monson The beautiful experience of being sealed to his family in the temple by then-Apostle (and future Church President) Thomas S. Monson.

Of all the personalities we meet in Scripture, perhaps none is more mysterious than Melchizedek. Both a king and a priest, he's a figure like no other. What's the significance of this king of Salem, and why is he so important in our understanding of the Messiah? Find out next time on The Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice leads us in a study of this unique and mysterious character.

Send us Fan MailThis week we look at the horses of Zechariah, their purpose and the establishment of Melchizedek.

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let's hold firmly to our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let's approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 NASB “For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;  he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is clothed in weakness;  and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself, as well as for the people. And no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was. So too Christ did not glorify Himself in becoming a high priest, but it was He who said to Him, “You are My Son, Today I have fathered You”;  just as He also says in another passage, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of His humanity, He offered up both prayers and pleas with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His devout behavior.  Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.  And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,10 being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:1-10 NASB Jesus our Great High Priest is •           The Appointed One (Vs. 1-6) •           The Anointed One (Vs. 7-8) •           The Only One (Vs. 9) “And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:9-10 “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus…” 1 Timothy 2:5 NASB •           Who is Melchizedek? (Genesis 14)

Is money really the issue... or is there something much deeper?In this message from the Misunderstood series, Pastor Nathan challenges the way Christians think about finances, generosity, and the Kingdom of God.Using the story of Abraham and Melchizedek, James 4–5, Revelation, and Jesus' words about rendering to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, this sermon reveals a surprising truth:God's greatest currency isn't money—it's people.What if the greatest freedom isn't having more money, but no longer being controlled by it?This message will challenge you to rethink generosity, surrender, identity, and what it truly means to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom.Whether you've struggled with fear, financial anxiety, or simply wondered what God actually desires from His people, this sermon points us back to a greater Kingdom and a greater purpose.For more on LifePoint Church go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lifepointaz.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our merch store ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lifepointaz-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find all our links in one easy spot ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/lifepointaz ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifepointaz ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifepointchurchaz/

Melchizedek is probably the most mysterious man who ever lived, so I decided to explore all of the evidence, from the Book of Enoch, the Nag Hammadi library, the Dead Sea Scrolls and of course the greatest source of information all together - the Bible. My answer was different to most but I hope you can understand why. God bless you and thank you for watching - Joe Kirby (Off the Kirb Ministries).#bookofenoch #bible #history"

In this study, we dive deep into the mysterious figure of Melchizedek and how he points to Jesus as our eternal High Priest. Drawing from a brief historical encounter in Genesis 14 and King David's prophetic poetry in Psalm 110, we unpack how the New Testament beautifully unlocks these ancient mysteries in Hebrews 7. We look closely at Melchizedek's titles as the "King of Righteousness" and "King of Peace," exploring how he is a "type" or "picture" pointing to Christ. By comparing the strict limits of the historical Levitical priesthood against the endless, unchangeable priesthood of Jesus (in the order of Melchizedek), we see exactly why Christ stands as our supreme High Priest who secures a better hope and a better covenant for us all. The ultimate take away from Hebrews 7 (and a study of Melchizedek) is that the middleman is completely gone, we can approach God's throne boldly! Under the old system, an imperfect human priest stood between us and God, keeping a stark distance between the Creator and the people. However, when Jesus offered Himself as a perfect, once-for-all sacrifice, the temple veil was torn from top to bottom, symbolizing the open access to God through Christ. Because Jesus is our eternal High Priest continuously interceding for us at the right hand of the Father, we never have to approach God with hesitation, shame, or fear. As we are reminded in Hebrews 4.16, we can come boldly to the throne of grace, completely confident that we will receive exactly the help we need.

www.determinetruth.com What is the book of Hebrews really about and who wrote it? In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we are joined by New Testament scholar Dana Harris to begin an in-depth exploration of one of the most fascinating—and often misunderstood—books in the New Testament. Hebrews is packed with rich theology, Old Testament references, warnings about perseverance, and one of the highest views of Christ found anywhere in Scripture. Yet many Christians find the book difficult to understand. Together, we discuss: Why Hebrews is so important for understanding the entire Bible Why most scholars do not believe Paul wrote Hebrews The strongest candidates for the book's authorship The relationship between the Old and New Testaments How Hebrews presents Jesus as God's ultimate revelation The meaning of "Jesus is better" throughout the book Why Hebrews uses the Old Testament so extensively The challenges faced by the original audience Perseverance, suffering, and faithfulness in difficult times The mystery of Melchizedek and Hebrews 7 Whether Hebrews 11 is really a "Hall of Faith" How biblical theology differs from systematic theology What Hebrews teaches about the humanity and divinity of Christ   Dr. Harris also offers practical insights into how modern Christians can read Hebrews without getting lost in the details and why understanding God's larger story of redemption is essential for interpreting Scripture well. If you've ever struggled with Hebrews—or wondered why it matters—this conversation provides an excellent introduction to one of the New Testament's most profound books.   FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

This Sunday we continue our summer series in the Psalms. We will take one last look at the mysterious mention of the character Melchizedek in Psalm 110:4. Before Psalm 110, Melchizedek has only appeared once in the scriptures, and even that appearance was mysterious (Genesis 14). Melchizedek was the king of Salem, and priest to the most high God (Gen 14:18). For someone so mysterious, why is he so important? How will understanding the mystery of Melchizedek help our faith sing along with Psalm 110?

He was dead for 25 minutes. No heartbeat, no oxygen, doctors already asking his wife to sign organ donor papers. When he came back, he had one thing to say — and it wasn't about heaven's gates. It was about ours. What does a dead man see that the living can't? Lance Wallnau tells the full story of what one man witnessed while clinically dead — a body of water, islands rising up, and people occupying them with an anointing tied to their calling, not their title. Lance believes what he saw was the Seven Mountains. And he believes it's a blueprint for right now. In this episode: * The complete resurrection account — dead 25+ minutes, brought back by a prophetic declaration in a hospital room * The vision a dead man saw in Paradise: what the seven islands represent and why it matters for this generation * Why the people in the vision weren't primarily preachers — and what that means for you * The Nehemiah parallel: rebuilding gates and walls as a spiritual and cultural strategy * Why "occupy till I come" is more than a verse — it's a mission with a deadline * The Melchizedek priesthood: why the kingly and priestly anointings are merging in this season * How to find your mountain, your gate, and your assignment in your own city You don't die when you get old. You die when your assignment is finished. His wasn't — and neither is yours. Podcast Episode 2162: A Dead Man's Vision of the 7 Mountains Nobody's Talking About | don't miss this!

Melchizedek appears before the law, before Levi, before the tabernacle, and before the Levitical system, reminding us that Jesus' priesthood is not built on ancestry or ritual, but on resurrection life and the power of God.Hebrews 7 reminds us that Jesus is the better Priest, the better Mediator, and the One who lives forever to intercede for His people. Earthly priests came and went, but Jesus remains forever. So today, read Hebrews 7 and remember: your access to God does not rest on your works, your worthiness, or your religious system—it rests on Jesus, the eternal High Priest who brings you all the way to the Father.

Did ancient rabbis alter key biblical passages to weaken Christian claims about Jesus? In this fascinating discussion, Mondo sits down with Doug Van Dorn to explore his new book The Bible Is Truth, examining the "Two Powers in Heaven" tradition, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, Melchizedek, Psalm 110, Deuteronomy 32, and evidence that some ancient Jewish interpretations once pointed directly to Jesus Christ.

The mighty Alex Rivera arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to shake up Gnostic and Platonic studies with groundbreaking research the world has never seen. We'll quest into the heart of Gnosticism and its essence and purpose. We'll also cover the Gnostic Melchizedek, a figure far more fascinating than orthodoxy has told us. And we'll encounter many other figures, Neoplatonic exemplars, the machinations of the Archons, Hekate, and the role of Baphomet, much of it based on his game-changing book, The Sun Lady Unveiled.

Genesis 14v18-24 with Tyler Staton A reflection on the mysterious figure of Melchizedek and the invitation to receive God's blessing as a gift rather than something we strive to secure for ourselves. Through Abram's encounter with a king of righteousness and peace, we're invited to trust the faithfulness of God, resist the pull of control, and discover how the story of Melchizedek ultimately points to Jesus.
