Lesson 10: Hebrews

A Superior Priesthood and a Better Covenant

In this lesson, we delve into Hebrews chapter 7 to uncover the significance of Melchizedek, a mysterious king-priest who foreshadows the eternal ministry of Jesus Christ. We examine why the Levitical priesthood was temporary and how Jesus, appointed by God’s oath, establishes a perfect and permanent priesthood that guarantees our salvation. By understanding this shift, we discover the privilege of having direct, continuous access to God without the need for earthly intermediaries or temple rituals. We also move from the "milk" of Old Testament tithing to the "meat" of New Covenant giving, exploring how grace inspires us to be generous far beyond the requirements of the law. This better covenant offers us unshakeable assurance, challenging us to mature in our faith and mentor the next generation against the confusion of modern culture. Join us as we learn to walk in the confidence of a faith secured by a High Priest who intercedes for us forever.
