    Melchizedek appears only briefly in Genesis but plays a critical role in the story of faith. In Melchizedek, we see a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate King and eternal High Priest.

    Jesus said that the Father is looking for people who would worship Him in spirit and in truth. This type of worship is more than what we now call “praise and worship”. We so often judge a church by their “praise and worship,” as if that is the only barometer to the spiritual health of a church. ...read more
