Substance Not Shadows - Part 2 of 2

Of priests and actors. Yesterday Jim began a sermon called, Substance, Not Shadows, referring to the New and Old Covenants, respectively. The service in the Temple was only a representation of the real thing. It was a "pre-enactment" (and yes, that is a real word)! It was a kind of drama, starring the sons of Aaron. Today we'll continue to think together about what these things mean, and why God chose to reveal His truth in this way. Here's Jim at Hebrews 9, verse 1.

Substance Not Shadows - Part 1 of 2

Are the two Covenants really all that different? From time to time the computer companies give us the opportunity to upgrade our Operating System. "The latest version will give you all these new capabilities," they promise, "and everything will be faster and prettier and better!" Yes, but will it be worth it? How many of my old programs will I have to update - or abandon? Today we'll get a point-by-point comparison of the Old and New Covenants, for those who weren't sure which one they would like better!

Jesus And The New Covenant - Part 2 of 2

The New Covenant is promised in the Old! We've seen in our study of Hebrews that the early system of laws and priests and animal sacrifices doesn't "work." It doesn't bring us into fellowship with our Maker; it only reminds us that we're sinners. Something better had to be coming, and it was. If you want documentation for this upgrade to God's agreement, you'll find it in the pages of the Old Covenant!

Jesus And The New Covenant - Part 1 of 2

Now here's the point! We are impatient readers. We don't have time to slog through, "Too Long; Didn't Read;" we have an abbreviation for that! We ask, "What's the bottom line?" and beg yarn-spinners to "cut to the chase." Well, the writer of Hebrews is gracious enough to identify his main point so far, and he does that in Chapter 8, verse 1. The old covenant, priesthood and law aren't just inferior, they're been replaced!

A Priest Who Lives Forever - Part 3 of 3

Your test has already been passed! Jesus passed all the tests He was given - we have no trouble believing that. Though He was tried physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally - in every dimension of His humanity - His scores were perfect! But can we believe that He has taken the test for us? That His score is our score? We'll get Pastor Jim's thoughts on Hebrews 7 and a review today in Part 2 of the sermon, A Priest Who Lives Forever.

A Priest Who Lives Forever - Part 2 of 3

Why was there a second High Priest? Welcome to Right Start, with Jim Custer, teaching pastor of Grace Polaris Church in Columbus, Ohio. No doubt the Hebrew Christians took the priesthood of Aaron's descendants for granted. The fathers of the priests they knew had served before them, their sons would serve after them - that's the way it was. But why? The author of Hebrews is going to question the fundamental assumption behind the need for a hereditary priesthood. It has a fundamental problem.

A Priest Who Lives Forever - Part 1 of 3

If the Law doesn't work... then we have some questions! If trying to keep the Commandments doesn't save anyone, why did God give them? If the Temple sacrifices didn't truly cleanse anyone's sin, why all that blood? And if the priests descended from Aaron were, at best, "imperfect" - then what purpose did they serve? The author of Hebrews has elevated Jesus so high above the Old Covenant system that we may start to wonder whether it had any value at all. Here's Jim, to explain.

New High Priest From The Tribe Of Judah - Part 2 of 2

If you want to go back to your roots, you'll be going without Jesus! We don't have the same issues as the early Jewish Christians; we aren't tempted to retreat from the freedom of grace, to the familiarity of the law. Or are we? Don't we see many who want to reintroduce dietary codes, or return to rote liturgy, or even rely on human priests? But the new wine won't go into the old wineskins. Jesus doesn't fit into the old religious system; He breaks it.

New High Priest From The Tribe Of Judah - Part 1 of 2

A new Priest, a new law, a new covenant! As we get to Hebrews 7 in our reading, we get the feeling that Paul (or whoever you think wrote the letter) is trying to pulverize any pretext for returning to Judaism. So far he's proven from the Scriptures that Jesus is superior to Moses, to Abraham, even to angels - and he's continuing to elevate Christ above all human priests. Jim's message is, New High Priest From the Tribe of Judah.

We Have This Hope - Part 2 of 2

If it's Friday, this must be Joppa! This tour started in the book of Hebrews. We were talking about Melchizedek (Hebrews 7), which took us to Genesis. And at that point Jim broke away from the main tour and ended up in Joppa, on the roof with Peter in the book of Acts. The connection is Gentiles. Melchizedek was not Jewish, and Joppa is a place where God launched ministries to Gentiles - in both Testaments. His love covers the whole world.
