Pastor Jack teaches through Hebrews chapter 5, exploring Jesus’ priestly ministry and comparing it to the Old Testament priesthood of Aaron and the mysterious order of Melchizedek. He draws powerful parallels between Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane and the refining work God does in believers, showing that Jesus became “the author of eternal salvation” through his obedient suffering. Pastor Jack explains that Christians are called to a priestly ministry? not as religious professionals, but as “on-ramps” that help bring people to Jesus? and that this ministry comes at a price: the refining fire of obedience through suffering.
