The Book of Hebrews, Part 18: Our “Better” High Priest (Heb. 5:1-10)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/27/22) Today, we continue looking at Jesus as our “better” High Priest.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) One of the prevalent themes of the Book of Hebrews can be summed up in one word: “better.” Christ is better than the angels, the new covenant is better than the old, etc. In today’s message, the word “better” does not appear, but the sentiment certainly does!…
