Friends,Welcome to this massive double-length episode on religion in our time with Diana Young-Peak.You may not know Diana, or if you do, it may be from exactly 200 (!) episodes ago on AEWCH 97: DIANA YOUNG-PEAK or THE GREATEST STRIPPER OCCULT PRIESTESS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF. That episode was recorded BEFORE I had a podcast - back in 2011, when I was part of her small esoteric church, the Church of the Living Christ Order of Melchizedek. That episode is at the end of this one - it gives all the context and background. If you want to listen to it first, you can jump ahead to about 2 hours in.But you can also listen to our latest conversation first. It's both a spiritual assessment of where we are in the world now, and also an assessment of the growing presence of religion and spirituality in people's lives. Two growing presences that are destined to meet: the presence of mutual aid community building, and the presence of RELIGION. I've never, in my lifetime, seen more interest in spirituality and its most accessible & durable pathway, religion, as I do now. And I've also never seen this many people coming together in new groups of belonging, with the aim of making safe and loving community and making the word a better place,In my understanding, this is a convergent evolution that is destined for intersection. In eight years doing the podcast, I've noticed time and time again that activists, organizers, anarchists, leftists, and more want to talk about their religious and spiritual thoughts. And I've also gotten the sense that we have crossed into a territory where it is newly allowed.My observation on this is that it's because new people have been allowed into organizing spaces and communities, and it's not just leftist atheists or white christians. Religious and national plurality has given rise to new assemblages and new belongings that call for new spiritual ways of seeing.In some ways this is nothing new: spiritual movements, particularly small spiritual movements, are mutual aid movements. They provide space for conversations about how to consider reality, the self, the other, and the all. That necessitates action, and coherence. Feminist movements have roots in 19th and 20th Century spiritualism and magic. There were anti-slavery magic movements. The White Rose, inspired by anthroposophy, resisted the Nazis. But more than that, there's the many many groups living right next door to you and me and everyone holding small meetings. organizing for the sake of a sense of a greater good and full connection to the real.Diana's group - passed to her from her mentor and founder of the group, Grace Hooper Pettipher - is one of these groups. Meeting together, when I was an active participant, in a small hotel room in San Francisco (now they mostly meet online), there was community building, connection, growth, and attenuation to freedom. I don't attend these days, for the most part, but I have great respect for what Diana and the group do with the religious impulse. And I hope this new conversation will inspire you to think towards or even begin your own path with community-based religion and spiritual practice.I hope you enjoy this double-length episode.***SUPPORT THE SHOW: patreon.com/connerhabib

2025 Jun 22 SUN: THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST S Gn 14: 18-20/ Ps 110: 1. 2. 3. 4/ 1 Cor 11: 23-26/ Optional Sequence Lauda, Sion/ Lk 9: 11b-17 This solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ was instituted in the 13th century. There were people at that time who said, "There needs to be a celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is apart from Holy Thursday." Apparently they had the idea that celebrating the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, the day it was instituted, made things too somber because Jesus' betrayal and arrest and condemnation and crucifixion immediately followed.  Well, I don't think that we can separate the mystery of the Holy Eucharist from those events because Jesus was instituting the Eucharist so that, as Saint Paul says today, we can proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes again. So we have from Saint Paul this most ancient account of what the earliest Christians did right away after the resurrection and after Pentecost, after the Pentecost event: they gathered together to celebrate the Lord's Supper.  We also have today this very brief passage from the book of Genesis. There is a concept in Scripture study and it's called typology. In other words, when we examine the Old Testament we can discover things that seem to point to persons and things that happen in the New Testament; and probably the strongest example of typology is Melchizedek. We have to think about this figure who very quickly appears and then just as quickly disappears. He is described as the King of Salem or Jerusalem, so he can [also] be understood as king of righteousness.* That's what we get out of Melchizedek or from the name of Salem, Jerusalem, a king of peace, Shalom. He is described as the king of Salem or Jerusalem and this is more than a thousand years before David claimed Jerusalem as his city. We don't know the origins of Melchizedek and we don't know where he goes after this incident recorded for us in the 14th chapter of Genesis; and he offers bread and wine. So this is a very powerful image of Jesus himself, king of righteousness, king of peace, eternal high priest. These are the many things that we find in Melchizedek which point to Jesus himself.  So then we come to the Gospel, and I believe that every one of us is always conscious of our need for food such that we will not wander out somewhere where we can't eat or drink. But this is exactly what the people following Jesus did, and I think that this is an indication to us that the people who were following Jesus were well aware of a hunger that went much deeper than the hunger for physical food. They considered all the woes and griefs of their life and they said, "I am in fact hungry for something deeper. I am hungry for my life to make sense and especially for interactions among people to make sense." And so we have this incident recorded. This is actually one of many in the four gospels of Jesus multiplying food. And we see that it is saying, "Yes, we have the deepest needs and hungers of them all. We hunger for life to make sense, for our relationships to make sense, and we find the fullness of sense, of peace, and of love." As Jesus says, "I will not simply feed you with loaves and fishes. I will feed you with myself." *The "tzedek" of his name refers to righteousness.

In today's episode of the Daily Verse by Verse Christian Podcast, we dive into Philemon 1:15-16, uncovering a powerful lesson on forgiveness, reconciliation, and God's love through this short yet impactful passage of God's Word. In this 10-minute daily Bible study, Pastor Mike Massey walks us verse by verse through Paul's heartfelt appeal for Onesimus, a runaway slave turned believer, and draws rich spiritual parallels to our own journey of faith, sin, and redemption.But before we unpack the scripture, Pastor Mike vulnerably shares a personal moment from the night before. After a long day, helping his 10-year-old daughter fix a stripped screw in a desk she was building became frustrating. The Holy Spirit convicted him mid-frustration—not to focus on finishing a task but to focus on relationship. That small domestic moment turned into a profound reflection on God's love, grace, and the importance of forgiveness. He knelt, apologized, and told her how proud he was. That moment of humility and restoration perfectly aligns with the spiritual truth in today's passage.In Philemon 1:15, Paul says, “For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever.” Paul is writing about Onesimus, who once ran away and wronged Philemon, but now returns not just as a servant—but as a beloved brother in Christ. This is a deep picture of how Jesus loves us and how we were once separated from God by sin—but now, through the blood of Christ, we are reconciled and received forever into God's family.Mike explains how this reflects the Gospel: we too were runaways, separated by sin, but Jesus stood in the gap. Like Paul interceding for Onesimus, Jesus intercedes for us. The physical separation of Onesimus had divine purpose—just like our spiritual separation from God did. Jesus experienced the ultimate separation on the cross, when God the Father turned His back for those agonizing hours. That spiritual pain was greater than any physical suffering. Why? Because Jesus took on the sin of the world—your sin and mine—so we could be forgiven and restored.Mike draws attention to how we were slaves to sin—chained and bound—but once we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, we're no longer slaves. We become brothers and sisters in Christ, part of one body—the Church. This episode reminds us that once you accept Christ, you are no longer condemned, no longer distant. You have direct access to God the Father through Jesus, our High Priest from the order of Melchizedek. The veil in the Holy of Holies was torn. The separation is gone. That's the beauty of the New Covenant.In Philemon 1:16, Paul writes that Onesimus is now “no longer as a slave, but more than a slave—a beloved brother.” Pastor Mike unpacks how this transformation mirrors our own. We're no longer bound to sin but are elevated to children of God—free, forgiven, and loved. If you're carrying bitterness or harboring unforgiveness—whether toward a spouse, friend, child, parent, or boss—this episode is your reminder to let it go. Not just for their benefit—but for your freedom.This episode of the Daily Verse by Verse Christian Podcast is ideal for anyone wanting to grow in biblical literacy, Christian parenting, daily Bible study, and deeper understanding of Jesus' forgiveness. Pastor Mike's expository Bible teaching makes complex truths simple and applicable in under 10 minutes a day.Whether you're doing a personal quiet time, a family devotion, or seeking encouragement during your commute, this podcast will help you study the Bible, experience God's love, and walk out your faith one verse at a time.

When Facing Difficult Circumstances, Look to Jesus as Our Great High Priest MESSAGE SUMMARY: Introduction – Why don't we go to God when things get difficult? Jesus is Our Great High Priest; and we have access to Him, at any time, through prayer. Today's Message – In the Jewish Temple Worship, the Great High Priest was called by God from the Jewish Tribe of Levi; and he represented the people before God, and he represented God to the people. However, the Great High Priest of the Temple was human and a sinner, thereby, requiring sacrifices to God daily to atone for his own sin as well as the sins of the people of the Temple. Jesus, like the Temple's Great High Priest, was appointed by God; but Jesus represented all humanity before God through His prayers. Also, Jesus represented God, His Father, to the people through His preaching and teaching. Additionally, and like the Temple's Great high Priest, Jesus provided a sacrifice to God for the sins of the people. However, Jesus sacrifice was permanent and “once offered for the sins of the whole world” and forever. In Hebrews 5:9-10, the author of Hebrews tells us that: “{Jesus} And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.". Jesus priesthood, unlike the Temple's Great High Priest, was a “permanent Priesthood” with limitless power. Therefore, Jesus is able offer complete Salvation to all that come to Him. Again, the author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 7:26-27, presents how Jesus, is Our Great High Priest and how Jesus differs from the Temple's Great Hight Priest: “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He {Jesus} has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.". Since Jesus is Our great High Priest, the author of Hebrews admonishes us, in Hebrews 4:16, to hold fast to Jesus as Our great High Priest and to not let go. In Hebrews 4:15-16, we are told why we are so privileged with Jesus as Our Great High Priest: “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. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.". Since Jesus has been designated by God as Our Great High Priest for our intercessions with God, we have Jesus, as Our Great High Priest in our times off difficulties and needs. Therefore, when times get difficult for us, we have no excuse for not going Our Great High Priest, Jesus, with troubles. Through Our great High Priest, God is merciful and full of grace; and God will meet our needs.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

Her passion is to help people identify and walk in the fullness of their destinies and to live victoriously from heaven to earth.HIGHLIGHTS:Revelation without the “how to” = FrustrationVirginia nails it: we've got tons of powerful teaching out there, but without translating it into daily life, it just floats away. Her Overshadowed group helps put “skin on it” by making revelation practical, actionable, and personal.The Brain Shreds New Info (Unless You Practice!)Learning isn't one-and-done—it's more like learn, forget, repeat… until it sticks. Virginia's group offers homework and community accountability so new truths actually get lived out instead of lost in the shuffle.Group Dynamics Expose and Heal Hidden StuffWhen you start applying kingdom principles, anything that doesn't align starts bubbling up. Being in a safe group means you can process old mindsets or familiar junk with people who cheer you on, not judge you.“Transformation Comes from Implementation” (Bralynn's “famous” quote.) ;-)James said it best—be doers of the Word! This isn't shelf-help. If it doesn't show up in your actions and real life, it won't stick.

It's not about dominating; it's about flowing with others in harmony, especially in a Kingdom-centered space. Be bold and aware.Learn to catch the corporate wave.In Christ-focused gatherings here's a “higher stream” that flows above all our individual musings. It's the corporate move of God. Tuning into that requires rising above your bubble and listening beyond your own circumstances.You're not a thermometer—you're a thermostat.Virginia reminds us: we're not just called to reflect the atmosphere; we carry the authority to shift it. Don't just report the spiritual weather—set the spiritual tone with your presence. That's Kingdom maturity in action.  We're not stuck in our Zoom boxes.Don't let screens fool you—we're one in Spirit. Bralynn and Virginia both affirm that spirit-travel and unity across the globe is possible. We're wired for spirit-to-spirit communication. The church has only scratched the surface of what's possible when we meet together in the spirit. These Zoom rooms can literally be launching pads for spiritual transformation across nations. Science is finally catching up with the BibleWhat used to sound mystical now has brainwave studies and quantum physics backing it up. Our spiritual experiences are legit, and science is starting to prove it.Sustained spiritual practice requires real commitmentThis isn't a “dabble for a few weeks” kind of lifestyle. It takes intentionality and consistency over the long haul. The tyranny of the urgent is killing depth – So many people are overwhelmed with options, driven by FOMO, and never committing to one thing long enough to bear fruit.The enemy's top tactic is fragmentation and distractionNot just with sin, but with good things that pull us away from divine assignments. We get spread too thin to go deep. The kingdom calls for discipline and intentional pursuit.Melchizedek order means we legislate from heaven and manifest on earth. Our priesthood is not Levitical. We operate from a higher realm and see fruit in the natural. We're called to translate spiritual concepts into real life – Too often, church doesn't equip people to live the supernatural in the everyday. That's why they come to us.LINKS for VIRGINIA:– Join Overshadowed: Virginia's group mentorship program—birthed by a divine blueprint and brought to life through practical support (shout-out to Bralynn!).

Strategic Spiritual Warfare for Territorial Transformation | Jun 19, 2025 | MSOP

Cave Adullam

Melchizedek School of Priesthood | Jun 19, 2025 You are living in a time when God is calling His people into a higher order of priesthood—the Melchizedek order—but this elevation requires you to understand and engage in strategic spiritual warfare that goes far beyond what most believers comprehend. Consider Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek. This meeting didn't happen by chance—it was the direct result of Abraham engaging in warfare against kings. Without that battle, the portal for meeting this mysterious priest-king would never have opened. This reveals a fundamental principle: certain spiritual dimensions and revelations only become accessible through specific battles you must fight and win. There are realms of God, portions in Christ, that remain veiled to you until you engage in the necessary warfare. Through Christ, you have been elevated to the altitude of godhood—not to be worshipped, but to function as an equal covenant partner with God. This is radical: covenant is between two equal parties. You are no longer a servant begging for scraps, but a co-regent called to exercise dominion. This elevation means everything in your life now has a priesthood dimension, whether you recognize it or not. Every field of human endeavor—science, technology, medicine, architecture, urban planning—operates under some form of priesthood. The most successful innovators and leaders understand this, though they rarely speak about it publicly. NASA works with various spiritual practitioners. City planners design downtown areas and business districts with spiritual intentionality to capture minds and hearts. These are not casual arrangements but strategic spiritual infrastructures designed to attract and influence people. Your primary battlefield is not external but internal. The kings you must defeat are not physical enemies but principalities, powers, and spiritual forces that have established themselves within your own thoughts, desires, and cultural conditioning. These internal kings include your love for places and people that have historically oppressed your land, your admiration for systems that extract wealth from your territory, and your unconscious submission to foreign spiritual authorities. When Scripture says "a man's enemies are those of his own household," it's referring to these internal spiritual forces. You carry kings within you—rulers that govern your desires, ambitions, and decisions. Until these are slaughtered (not dethroned, but completely eliminated), you cannot rule effectively in the external realm. True territorial conquest requires teaching priests who understand both the indigenous culture and the spiritual infrastructures that govern it. These are people who will live in the territory long-term, not visiting evangelists who come and go. They must patiently teach people their new bloodline, their new genealogy, helping them understand who they are in Christ and what dominion they possess. Effective spiritual warfare requires the same level of strategic planning that military operations demand. You need to understand the enemy's installations, leadership structure, supply lines, and cultural roots. Every spiritual stronghold has custodians—people who maintain the traditions, dances, rituals, and cultural practices that keep the spiritual infrastructure operational. Territorial transformation requires indigenous workers—people who understand the local culture, language, and spiritual history. An outsider, no matter how anointed, cannot effectively dismantle spiritual strongholds that have operated for generations. The person who will complete the work in any territory will likely be someone from that region who can speak to their people "from their tongue" and explain why that cultural tongue is no longer relevant. This level of warfare cannot be accomplished by individual ministries operating in isolation. It requires all five-fold ministry gifts working in unity: evangelists to bring in the harvest, pastors to nurture and care for new converts, teachers to establish proper foundations, prophets to provide spiritual intelligence and direction, and apostles to set proper governmental order. The armor of God is not Roman military gear but the actual garments of the high priest. Each piece represents an aspect of your priesthood that must be mastered: the helmet of salvation (your redeemed mind), the breastplate of righteousness (right standing and unity), the belt of truth (integrity and honesty), the shoes of peace (your walk in harmony with God), the shield of faith (understanding that comes from God's word), and the sword of the Spirit (the word of God as your weapon). This is your calling: to be a possessor of heaven and earth, operating in the authority that comes from winning internal battles and establishing God's kingdom through strategic, patient, collaborative spiritual warfare.

We discuss how the first covenant, with its tabernacle, ordinances, and sacrifices, served as a shadow of the greater redemption offered through Jesus' blood. Topics include the priesthood, Melchizedek, the conscience-purging power of Christ's sacrifice, and comparisons to the Old Testament law. Referencing Romans, Galatians, and Alexander Maclaren's sermons, we examine how the Bible points to Christ as the fulfillment of the law, not a return to Jewish traditions or works.

Today returning on Sense of Soul we have Padma Aon Prakasha he is an evolutionary catalyst and wisdom author bringing together ancient wisdom and modern science. Padma's books, music and multimedia are drawn from the traditions he has been initiated into. His books include: The Power of Shakti, Womb Wisdom, Sacred Relationships (Inner Traditions), The Christ Blueprint, The Nine Eyes of Light: Ascension Keys from Egypt (NAB/Random House), Dimensions of Love, Shiva's Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra and The Science of Sound (O Books). Since 1997 he has presented, lectured and taught in 20 countries worldwide.  After being initiated into the Brahmin lineage at age 4, he read the Bhagavad Gita followed by the Bible at age 7 and a whole host of spiritual teachings by age 11. When he was 21 he had an experience of the AUM and God Consciousness that changed his life forever, followed by a direct and unexpected meeting with Christ Yeshua. Shortly after this, Padma was initiated in India through a Near Death Experience in Badrinath by Master Babaji, and into the Saivite Lineage in Kedarnath. Further Initiations into Saivite Tantra and the RK Veda through the Arunachala Sampradaya and Ganesha followed. Padma was also Initiated into Tibetan Tantras through female teachers Prem Prabhuta and Margot Anand, and is an Initiate in the Order of Melchizedek. Padma's most powerful ‘formal' Initiations came through Sri Om, an Awakened teacher in London from the Lineage of Buddha Maitreya, associated with the enlightened wisdom of many traditions. After this, Padma sat in Samadhi, the highest form of bliss meditation, for two months, 16 hours a day. Samadhi activates the pineal gland and many dormant gifts within us, which Padma then demonstrated through his numerous books, workshops and transmissions over the ensuing years. https://padmaaon.com Visit www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Part 31 The Resurrection of Christ – Foundation of the Gospel of theKingdom (1 Corinthians 15:1–8)In this teaching, we uncover why the resurrection is not just a doctrinal detail but the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Paul reminds the Corinthians that the gospel he received is rooted in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings - and fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua.Let's explore the resurrection as the central event confirming the New Covenant.How Paul and the apostles preached the same Gospel as Yeshua-centered on the Kingdom, covenant restoration, and resurrection power.The connection between Exodus 32, the golden calf, and the shift from a national Melchizedek priesthood to a temporary Levitical system.How Yeshua restores the original priestly order, fulfilling Psalm 110:4 and Hebrews 5–8.Why the resurrection is our assurance of victory, identity, and eternal purpose.Resurrection is proof of the Messiah's identity (Romans 1:4) and the ratification of the New Covenant (Hebrews 7).Covenant-breaking at Sinai led to the establishment of the Levitical priesthood, but Yeshua restores the Melchizedek priesthood.The apostles didn't preach a shallow gospel. They preached the restoration of the kingdom, fulfillment of the covenant, and the Messiah's reign.Embrace the full gospel—not a reduced version.Live in the power of the resurrection.Step into your priestly identity in Messiah, restored and renewed.This message is a call to return to the apostolic, covenant-based gospel thattransforms hearts and nations.

Goff and Burns explain the significant differences between the two, such as their different dates and locations of origin. But they also explore the similarities, with their mutual interest in more ancient writings, such as how some important figures from Genesis—such as the Book of Watchers, with its myths of evil origins— came from Enoch; and how Melchizedek was the priest associated with the Christ figure. This is part two of a two-part series. The first episode in the series was released May 7, 2025. Read the book they co-authored, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Codices.

Title: The Supremacy of JesusSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 7:1-28Episode Overview:In this sermon based on Hebrews 7:1–28, we dive into one of the most theologically rich and complex passages in the Bible—and come out with one crystal-clear truth: Jesus is enough. Through ancient characters like Melchizedek and the Levitical priesthood, we see that even the most honored religious systems were only prototypes pointing to the real deal—Jesus Christ, our perfect and eternal High Priest.Key Highlights:• Opening Illustration – Sports Legends Fade, Jesus Doesn't:Just like legendary players for the Seattle Sounders eventually leave the field, every priest before Jesus was temporary. But where others retire or are replaced, Jesus remains—forever.• Melchizedek: Mysterious but Meaningful (vv. 1–10):Melchizedek, though a shadowy figure, is presented as greater even than Abraham. Why? Because his priesthood resembles Jesus'—timeless and superior.• The Old Priesthood Was Good, But Not Enough (vv. 11–24):The Levitical priesthood, deeply meaningful to Jewish believers, couldn't perfect anyone. Hebrews insists: what was once essential is now obsolete because Jesus is better.• Jesus: The True and Better Priest (vv. 11–24):Not from the tribe of Levi, but from Judah. Not a priest by human lineage, but by the power of an indestructible life. The law shows our sin, but Jesus offers salvation.• The Gospel in One Verse (v. 25):“He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him.” This isn't halfway help. This is forever salvation. Jesus doesn't drop you halfway across the canyon—He carries you the whole way.• Forever Interceding (vv. 25–28):Jesus isn't just our Savior in the past—He lives now, always making intercession for us. Your salvation is secure because your Priest never dies, never takes a break, never fails.Conclusion:Like Martin Luther, when the devil unrolls your scroll of sins, you can say: “Write over them all—The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all sin.”Hebrews 7 isn't just about ancient priests—it's about eternal hope. Jesus is the final and forever High Priest. No need to look back. No need to find someone else. Jesus is enough. Always has been. Always will be.Call to Action:This week, take time to reflect on where your spiritual confidence really lies. Is it in your performance, your past, or your routine? Or is it rooted in the once-for-all work of Jesus? Let Hebrews 7 lead you to rest in the better hope through which you can draw near to God. Don't just admire Jesus—trust Him. Trust Him completely. He's the one priest you'll never outgrow.Listen, reflect, and rest in the truth: Jesus, the perfect permanent priest, offers perfect and permanent salvation.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Hebrews 5verses 12-6 and 20 continues the theme begun in chapter 5 – a warning against apostacy. The first 8 verses deal with a pressing danger to those, who were once enlightened by the Spirit Word, and had shared in the Holy Spirit gifts of the first century, of “falling away” (Greek word for apostacy and having a number value of 666). This proves that the possession of a spiritual gift was not a guarantee of a place in the kingdom. The writer expresses his hope that the majority of the letter's readers will not succumb to this challenge. From verse 13 to the end of chapter the writer outlines the certainty of God's promises. All His promises are unfailing and are not capable of any shortfall in what He has promised. Yahweh's promise to Abraham is vouchsafed by an oath based on God's own existence. And so with Chrst having been raised and exalted to His Father's presence our hope is securely anchored in Christ. This hope takes us beyond mortality and being with Christ will be realised at Jesus' return to earth to set up the kingdom promised to Abraham (see Romans 4 verse 13; Genesis 13 verses 14-15). From chapters 7-10 the writer speaks of the “better priesthood”, which has been brought into existence by our Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 7 introduces us to “one made like unto the Son of God”, by the terms the Scripture uses and the manner in which they are introduced to the reader of the sacred inspired text. Twice only do we find Melchizedek, the king-priest of Jerusalem mentioned in the Old Testament – Genesis 14 and Psalm 110. These verses were written about a thousand years apart. And together with an enacted parable from 2 Samuel chapters 6-8 allow us to see how this man prefigures the Lord Jesus Christ and his priesthood. Like Abraham's promises Christ's priesthood (typically seen in Melchizedek) is founded upon an oath. Since Melchizedek's priesthood preceded and also prophetically succeeds the Aaronic priesthood the Scripture foreshadows a change of law administered by an eternal priesthood of King-priests. Christ's sacrifice suffices in the forgiveness of sins once for all time. And our Lord Jesus will return to the earth free from a body which is weak and sin prone to rule in glorious immortality.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; *therefore let us keep the feast,Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Alleluia.Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; *death no longer has dominion over him.The death that he died, he died to sin, once for all; *but the life he lives, he lives to God.So also consider yourselves dead to sin, *and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Alleluia.Christ has been raised from the dead, *the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.For since by a man came death, *by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.For as in Adam all die, *so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Alleluia.Alleluia. The Lord is risen indeed:Come let us adore him. Alleluia. The PsalterPsalm 85Benedixisti, Domine1You have been gracious to your land, O Lord, *you have restored the good fortune of Jacob.2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people *and blotted out all their sins.3You have withdrawn all your fury *and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation.4Restore us then, O God our Savior; *let your anger depart from us.5Will you be displeased with us for ever? *will you prolong your anger from age to age?6Will you not give us life again, *that your people may rejoice in you?7Show us your mercy, O Lord, *and grant us your salvation.8I will listen to what the Lord God is saying, *for he is speaking peace to his faithful peopleand to those who turn their hearts to him.9Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him, *that his glory may dwell in our land.10Mercy and truth have met together; *righteousness and peace have kissed each other.11Truth shall spring up from the earth, *and righteousness shall look down from heaven.12The Lord will indeed grant prosperity, *and our land will yield its increase.13Righteousness shall go before him, *and peace shall be a pathway for his feet. Psalm 86Inclina, Domine1Bow down your ear, O Lord, and answer me, *for I am poor and in misery.2Keep watch over my life, for I am faithful; *save your servant who puts his trust in you.3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for you are my God; *I call upon you all the day long.4Gladden the soul of your servant, *for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, *and great is your love toward all who call upon you.6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer, *and attend to the voice of my supplications.7In the time of my trouble I will call upon you, *for you will answer me.8Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord, *nor anything like your works.9All nations you have made will come and worship you, O Lord, *and glorify your Name.10For you are great;you do wondrous things; *and you alone are God.11Teach me your way, O Lord,and I will walk in your truth; *knit my heart to you that I may fear your Name.12I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, *and glorify your Name for evermore.13For great is your love toward me; *you have delivered me from the nethermost Pit.14The arrogant rise up against me, O God,and a band of violent men seeks my life; *they have not set you before their eyes.15But you, O Lord, are gracious and full of compassion, *slow to anger, and full of kindness and truth.16Turn to me and have mercy upon me; *give your strength to your servant;and save the child of your handmaid.17Show me a sign of your favor,so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; *because you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. LessonsEzekiel 1:28-3:328 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.2 And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” 2 And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. 4 The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.' 5 And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. 7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.8 “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” 9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.3 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey. Hebrews 4:14-5:614 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.5 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. 4 And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,“You are my Son,    today I have begotten you”;6 as he says also in another place,“You are a priest forever,    after the order of Melchizedek.” The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Cantemus Domino (The Song of Moses)I will sing to the Lord, for he is lofty and uplifted; *the horse and its rider has he hurled into the sea.The Lord is my strength and my refuge; *the Lord has become my Savior.This is my God and I will praise him, *the God of my people and I will exalt him.The Lord is a mighty warrior; *Yahweh is his Name.The chariots of Pharaoh and his army has he hurled into the sea; *the finest of those who bear armor have been drowned in the Red Sea.The fathomless deep has overwhelmed them; *they sank into the depths like a stone.Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in might; *your right hand, O Lord, has overthrown the enemy.Who can be compared with you, O Lord, among the gods? *who is like you, glorious in holiness,awesome in renown, and worker of wonders?You stretched forth your right hand; *the earth swallowed them up.With your constant love you led the people you redeemed; *with your might you brought them in safety to your holy dwelling.You will bring them in and plant them *on the mount of your possession,The resting-place you have made for yourself, O Lord, *the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hand has established.The Lord shall reign *for ever and for ever.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersLord, have mercy.Christ, have mercyLord, have mercyOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. The SuffragesO Lord, show your mercy upon us;And grant us your salvation.O Lord, guide those who govern usAnd lead us in the way of justice and truth.Clothe your ministers with righteousnessAnd let your people sing with joy.O Lord, save your peopleAnd bless your inheritance.Give peace in our time, O LordAnd defend us by your mighty power.Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgottenNor the hope of the poor be taken away.Create in us clean hearts, O GodAnd take not your Holy Spirit from us. Take a moment of silence at this time to reflect and pray for others. The CollectsAscension DayAlmighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things: Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise, he abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the ages; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. Daily Collects:A Collect for PeaceO God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.A Collect for GraceO Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Prayer for MissionAlmighty and everlasting God, who alone works great marvels: Send down upon our clergy and the congregations committed to their charge the life-giving Spirit of your grace, shower them with the continual dew of your blessing, and ignite in them a zealous love of your Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. General ThanksgivingAlmighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; Through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen. A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God!Alleluia, Alleluia! BenedictionThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen

He was a "priest of the most high God" (Genesis 14:18-20), who blessed our Forefather Abraham and "brought forth bread and wine," prefiguring the Holy Eucharist, centuries before the Law was given to Moses or Christ became incarnate. The Epistle to the Hebrews (ch. 7) reveals Melchizedek, the Priest-King, to be a type of Christ.
