What is the ‘order of Melchizedek’ and why is that so important for the author of Hebrews to connect Melchizedek to Jesus?

Priest King When Adam and Eve where in the Garden, God gave them some jobs to do. They were to be fruitful and multiply. They were to subdue the earth. They were to have dominion over the earth. They were to be the original royal priests. They were to mediate in between God and his creation. They were…

1 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…

Growing up I didn’t really think history class was that important. I mean how was knowing about people going to really help me in life and the real world right? However, one of the great things I learned in History class was the importance of knowing and remembering great people who helped us to get…

Hebrews 7:1-10 Introduction Good morning once again. As we are traveling through the book of Hebrews we have seen the main theme of the book is Jesus is better. He’s superior to angels, to the priesthood, to anything else. That theme is going to continue to be fleshed out by the writer of Hebrews in…

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He 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…

Introduction Shapes Video You see a shape and you think you know what it means, if you just look at the surface. But, if you look at events and people throughout the OT from different angles, you might find a familiar shape that it fits in. What we call “typology.” 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses,…

Jesus Will Know Victory The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb…

As believers, our walk with God should affect those around us. Our decisions and actions should visibly reflect the commitment we’ve made as followers of Christ. In the story of Gen 14:1–24 , Abram showed remarkable faith in the wake of failure, and people around him noticed. Last week, we saw Abram…

Good morning! It is good to be together again! Last night several of us went to a concert in Quincy - so if I fall asleep during service like some of you do today, just wake me up when church is over. Just kidding. The concert really was a wonderful time. 22 of us went from here, which I thought was…

Introduction We are concluding a very important portion of the book of Hebrews. We opened up the book with a series of comparisons. Jesus compared to the angels Jesus compared to Moses Jesus compared to us as human beings Conclusion: Jesus is superior to any and everything in creation This Jesus became…

Melchizedek 1 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…

I’m beginning to think that Genesis 14 was put here to challenge those who get to preach it. The list of names is simply ridiculous; bear with me as I attempt to read the first half of the chapter. If you have your Bible (and I hope you do), please turn with me to Genesis 14 . Follow along with me. 1…

Hebrews 6:7-7:28 Good morning Church! We are resuming our study this morning in the book of Hebrews. I personally am so thankful for the tradition Pastor Chuck Smith passed down to us of going through the Word of God verse by verse, precept upon precept, all the way through the Bible. I don’t know if…

The King Priest This morning we are wrapping up our Advent in the Psalms sermon series. I love preaching and teaching through the OT. I love looking through the history that God has given us in the bible and seeing how his plan takes shape and plays out. B/c it is absolutely astounding and mind blowing…

4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;…

Last week we saw the split between Abram and Lot. Lot went east into the Jordan valley to settle, where Sodom and Gomorrah were. Abram sojourned within the land of Canaan, and God reaffirmed His promise that Abram’s descendants would inhabit that land. 1 And it came about in the days of Amraphel king…
