In this sermon, Pastor Richard Jensen dives deep into the mysterious Melchizedek from the Bible – popping up in Genesis, Hebrews, and Psalms. Turns out, he's a big deal, foreshadowing Jesus's unique priesthood. Abraham even paid him tithes! Pastor Jensen emphasizes that Jesus's priesthood, like Melchizedek's, is granted by God and is forever. Without it, believers are sunk, according to Spurgeon.The sermon then shifts to how Christ's victory is progressive. Think of the Great Commission as Jesus accepting God's offer to rule the nations. The church plays a crucial role, empowered by the Holy Spirit, in fulfilling this promise. They touch on different views, but lean towards an optimistic view of the Church's impact since Jesus's resurrection. Ultimately, Christ will hand everything over to the Father.#melchizedek #jesus #priesthood #reformedtheology #biblestudy #christianity #theology #kingdomofgod #greatcommission #martinluther www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!
