“Mechisedec’s Superior Priesthood?” • Hebrews 7:4-10 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. After a brief review of who Melchisedec was from the first three verses, Elder Lowrance teaches that he was superior to Abraham in that Abraham paid tithes to him and he blessed Abraham. If Melchisedec is greater than Abraham, a priest after that same order is greater than Abraham as well. Therefore, Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, is greater than Abraham. 

“David Flees from Saul” • 1st Samuel 19:1-23:5 – Brother Jonah Lowrance. David’s two flights from Saul show a contrast between man’s wisdom and God’s blessing. The first time David runs he relies on the Lord and is protected. The second time he runs, he relies on his own wisdom and it is a disaster until he prays to God.
