Priest on SermonAudio

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25) ~~~~ This sermon was preached at Providence Chapel East Peckham on a Lord's Day afternoon. ~~~~ *1/ To whom "he is able." 2/ Why "he is able." 3/ What "he is able" to do.* **Sermon summary:** This sermon examines the declaration in Hebrews 7:25 that Christ is able to save those who come to God through Him to the uttermost. The exposition begins by identifying Melchizedek as a type of Christ, highlighting the union of kingly and priestly offices and the eternal, unchangeable nature of His priesthood which supersedes the Levitical law. The message emphasises that this ability is grounded in Christ's incarnation, sinless life, and substitutionary death, which qualified Him to be the perfect advocate for believers. It further explores the practical implications of this truth, assuring believers that Christ is able to succour them in temptation, keep their souls secure, and ultimately resurrect their bodies. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the audience to rely on Christ's sufficiency rather than their own strength, as He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that can be asked or thought.

Rev. Ray explains how the patriarchs held a threefold office that corresponded to the threefold mediatorial office of Jesus Christ as prophet, priest, and king.

In Psalm 110, we see that Christ is both our reigning King and our everlasting Priest, and He will conquer all of His enemies. I. Jesus reigns over all peoples A. He sits at the Father's right hand in power (v. 1a) B. He will have dominion over His enemies (vv. 1b–2) C. His people offer themselves freely in His service (v. 3) II. Jesus is our Priest forever (v. 4) III. Jesus will bring His enemies to judgment A. He will render justice among the nations (vv. 5–6) B. He will lift up His head in victory (v. 7)

Sermon by Robert Murray M'cheyne

This sermon examines the encounter between Jesus and ten lepers in Luke 17, emphasizing the importance of recognizing God's presence during life's journey. The central message highlights the necessity of active obedience and faith, illustrated by the lepers' healing as they followed Jesus' command to show themselves to the priest. A key theological theme is the distinction between receiving God's blessings and giving Him glory, as demonstrated by the one Samaritan who returned to worship. The preacher encourages believers to prioritize praise and gratitude before enjoying the benefits of their faith, asserting that human effort in obedience unlocks divine power. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the congregation to trust in God's ability to heal and transform their lives through faithful action.

Jesus went into the Holy of Holies once and it was enough for all time. Today Pastor Wayne Sanders continues the series on Hebrews with chapter nine. What is the one thing that Christians should always be doing? What is the significance of the tabernacle? All of these and more are answered in today's service. God bless you this week!

This sermon examines the life of Aaron, tracing his lineage, his role as Moses' spokesman, and his appointment as the first high priest.

The narrative concludes by connecting Aaron's Levitical priesthood to the superior, eternal priesthood of Christ Jesus, who offers a perfect sacrifice once for all.
