Liberty in Jesus
December 28, 2014
Randy McCarthy introduces services by reading Philippians 1:1-11. In this thank you note written to the Church at Philippi, Paul rejoices in the fellowship in Christ Jesus he has enjoyed with the saints there, and the joy they have had together in the Lord. Paul identifies four areas in which he encourages the church to continue to grow in their devotion to Christ: to abound in love, to approve those things that are excellent, to be sincere and without offense, and to be filled with the fruits of righteousness.
Mark Wattenbarger speaks of the liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, teaching from Galatians 3:1-5. Mark echoes Paul’s charge that it is “foolish” to think that we can add to, or in any way contribute to, the eternal redemption that has been given us through the perfect work of Jesus Christ the Lord. Instead, God has called us to walk in righteousness as a result of the great gift of God’s Son.

Jesus, High Priest (by the Order of Melchizedek)
December 7, 2014
Randy McCarthy examines the priesthood of Jesus Christ, with reference to His call by God in Psalm 110:4 as a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. After reviewing the history of Abraham’s encounter with this mysterious priest-king in Genesis 14, Randy examines Hebrews 4:14-5:10 and notes the following characteristics of Christ’s priesthood that are foreshadowed by Melchizedek:
- a perpetual priesthood;
- one that is appointed by an oath of God;
- a royal priesthood – that is, Christ is a Priest-King;
- there is no priestly descent or succession with Christ;
- the blessing of Abraham by Melchizedek shows the superiority of Christ’s priesthood to that of the Levitical priesthood under the Mosaic Law;
- Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, further showing the superiority of Christ’s priesthood to the Levitical priesthood; and
- Melchizedek refreshed Abraham with bread and wine, signifying the refreshment that Christ brings us as He ministers His priestly office.
