Opportunities to Experience & Express

the Transforming Love of Jesus

Sermon Title:

This week Pastor Paul is looking at Hebrews 7:11-28. Unlike the priests who came before Him, Jesus' priesthood is based on the power of an indestructible life, not lineage or the law, making Him the perfect mediator of a better covenant. "A Different Kind Of Priest" will highlight how Jesus, through His once-for-all sacrifice, has made a way for us to draw near to God with confidence, securing our salvation and interceding for us eternally. This sermon invites us to reflect on the uniqueness of Jesus' priesthood—how it transcends time and space, and how it impacts our approach to faith, worship, and our relationship with God.

The sermon is titled, "A Different Kind Of Priest"
