10 Hebrews 5:5-11; 6:19-20; 7:1-28 The Greater Priesthood (Pt. 1 - The Melchizedekian Order)

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Nov16.pdf * Over the past three weeks, we have considered that Christ is the causation of eternal salvation and therefore it is impossible for those who are in Christ to fall away - and lose that salvation. This is all due to the Perfect Nature of His Priesthood and His Sacrifice. * Today, we begin another two part message - this time considering a fuller presentation of Christ as our High Priest, as given by the author of this book, by considering The Melchizedekian Order of His Priesthood, the Ministry of His Priesthood and the Mediatorship of His Priesthood. Those final two points will lead us into His Perfect Propitiatory Sacrifice. * We begin by looking at what the author declared as being "hard to explain" since the Hebrew audience had become sluggish in learning - dull of hearing. * Melchizedek is mentioned, by name, nine times in the New Testament. All of those references occur in Hebrews 5-7. Therefore, that is where we will begin our study of Christ's greater Priesthood. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on November 16, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
