Speaker: Pastor Josh Blevins

What made that moment unique of course, is that I met someone who I couldn’t see, who died, and yet was somehow tangibly present in that room, in my heart, and in my mind. Since that moment, I have experienced this same Jesus speaking to me, guiding me, providing for me, healing me, leading me, comforting me, and changing me from the inside out.

The problem with animal sacrifices was that every time they were offered, they served as a reminder that sin had not been completely forgiven. The beauty of Christ’s sacrifice is that it is a constant reminder that all sin has been completely forgiven!

Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the [a]sanctuary; …….

Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the [a]sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man…..

11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? …

“The Christian that is first and foremost committed to the mission of Jesus Chris is a tremendous threat to the kingdom of darkness.”

Before the Law of Moses and the Levitical priesthood, God revealed His ultimate plan for an eternal priesthood through the Old Testament figure of Melchizedek. Jesus was the ultimate fulfillment of a priest who was outside the legal requirements of the law and the limitations of a flawed human priest.
Hebrews 7:1-10

Regarding the security of our salvation, Jesus will never forget us, never lie to us, and never break His promise. Therefore, we must remain steadfast in our faith and service to Christ until we see Him face-to-face.
Hebrews 6:9-20

We must be cautious of the consequences of moving away from Christ, while at the same time remain mindful of the security of moving forward in our faith.
Hebrews 6:1-9, Luke 8:12-15
