Jesus Is Your Priest

We’re 8 weeks into Hebrews now and it keeps building upon itself. We’ve been reminding everyone every week that this is a sermon and we have to study it as such. What that means is that the “preacher” keeps building upon the previous section. That makes it a bit challenging to teach it over 16 weeks, but Kelly did a fantastic job of explaining a very technical and deeply theological passage in Hebrews 7:1-28 that profoundly connects everything the preacher has been getting at. The BIG IDEA for us this week was that “the only worthy priest who is able to secure eternal salvation for us is Jesus.“ Take a listen and dive into this unique and wondrously important idea of Jesus being our High Priest in the line of Melchizedek.

Like thousands of churches worldwide, this global pandemic has forced us to be creative in our response — both in terms of how we gather and how we serve our community. Though we believe the normative pattern established in Scripture for community anticipates embodied presence of the Gathered Church, there are certain times where that’s not as safe. We find ourselves in such a time and are thankful to be able to leverage the digital landscape to remain faithful to plugging into community. This week’s Gathering came by way of smaller House Gatherings (following local, state, and federal guidelines) via Zoom. We’d love for you to join us next week!Jesus is supreme over all things and worthy of our whole lives living in submission to both his grace and his glory.
