Melchizedek Lesson 7 Series

Contributed by Elmer Towns on Mar 6, 2024

Melchizedek, a fitting type of Christ.

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 22, 2024

Did the Aaronic priesthood foreshadow Jesus and us? Let's look at Leviticus 21.

Answer To Our Greatest Need

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 4, 2003

Seven things about Melchizedek reveal the priesthood benefits of Jesus in the Old Testament.

Today’s text is Hebrews chapter 7. This chapter is one of those meat chapters that you have to chew on mentally to grasp. Most of us need some tenderizer to make it palatable.

Accept No Substitutes Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 15, 2021

Various pseudo-Christian spin offs claim to provide exclusively the priesthood that allows its worshipers to be made right with God. However, Hebrews 5 presents the truth that there is only one priest we will ever need--the Great High Priest Jesus Christ.

In the summer of my 19th year I was excited to take a summer job in Yellowstone National Park working as a dishwasher in Canyon Village. I say I was excited, because I had longed dreamed of the great trout fishing amid all the natural beauty that Yellowstone is famed for. But what I didn’t count ...read more

Why The Tithe

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jul 13, 2008

Many have said that tithing has been done away with, and that it is for the Old Covenant only. They say it has no part of the New Covenant, and that it is legalistic and holds us in bondage. I would like to take a look at this from a Biblical perspective,

Order In The Church

Contributed by Ed Wood on May 29, 2002

Church problems are like physical problems: if left unsolved, they grow and become worse, and they infect more people. The local church is a body; and what germs are to the physical body, sin is to the spiritual body.

ORDER IN THE CHURCH 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18 INTRO: When problems are not solved, they grow and become worse. A sliver left in the finger can become infected and cause a toxic condition so serious that surgery may become necessary. If you tell your doctor that you stepped on a rusty nail, he ...read more

Order Of Respect

Contributed by Paul Kallan on Nov 2, 2002

Respect and Honour are to be earned rather than to be demanded.

The gospel passage Mt 23.1-12 speaks to the hearts of many people, especially, those who feel dominated and oppressed by others. Jesus turns himself harshly against those who try to put themselves up over others and lord over them. He is quite clear of the consequences of a social order that ...read more

Out Of Order

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Mar 12, 2004

Sad to say there are too many Christians that are walking around with an, "OUT OF ORDER," sign about them. They are not in a fit state to be used of the Master, nor are they producing the fruit that they should be producing.

Out of Order 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Recently there were those in the UK who were opposed to the war in Iraq (2003) and decided upon a ...read more
