Finding JOY (this week’s Advent theme) in one’s work can be difficult for a perfectionist, because the work is never “quite right” and/or never “quite finished.” This is one reason why Jesus’ Perfect Priesthood and His service as our Perfect Priest should resound in abiding JOY for believers.
The chapter of Hebrews that many have been waiting for: Melchizedek. Wait, who? Yeah, the author builds a fascinating case for the redemptive work of God through a mysterious, obscure Old Testament character, continuing his case for Jesus’ great(er)ness.

In one of the most convicting passages in the New Testament, the author levels an indictment at the believers. With both a pastoral and a parental tone, he seeks to push believers toward maturity.
This week sees Pastor Jason pick back up on our study through the Bible book Hebrews, in chapter 5:1-10.
