    Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

    Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

You see, he had heard the voice of the Lord while living in Ur –a place where the moon god (now known as Allah) was worshipped. But, the true and living God had spoken to him, telling him to ‘forsake ...read more
