Melchizedek Who? Series

Contributed by Davon Huss on May 2, 2011

A sermon on Hebrews 7 about Melchizedek and then talks about the greatness of Jesus Christ (Seed thought from Charles Spurgeon http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/1835.htm) (Outline and much adapted from Harold Martin http://www.brfwitness.org/?p=356)

HoHum: If we were asked to name the most important people in the OT, I doubt that Melchizedek’s name would be on our list. He appeared once, in Genesis 14:17-24; and once more, in Psalm 110:4.

When Jesus comes on the Last Day, the world as we know it ends. That probably doesn’t cross ...read more
