Jesus’ priesthood > Aaronic priesthood 2. Jesus’ priesthood is superior to Aaron’s because the Levitical priesthood was set aside (Hebrews 7:11-19) 1. It couldn’t bring perfection (Hebrews 7:11) 2. It was associated with the Law (Hebrews 7:12) 3. It was based on legal ancestry from Levi (Hebrews 7:13-17) 4. It was weak & useless, and made nothing perfect (Hebrews 7:18-19a) 5. It didn’t enable people to draw near to God (Hebrews 7:19b) 3. Jesus’ priesthood is superior to Aaron’s because He Himself is a better priest (Hebrews 7:20-28) 1. He was confirmed by an oath–Ps. 110:4 (Hebrews 7:20-22) 2. He lives forever–permanent priesthood (Hebrews 7:23-24) 3. He Himself is sinless–He is able to meet our need (Hebrews 7:25-26) 4. He offered Himself once for all–therefore, there is no need for daily sacrifice (Hebrews 7:27-28)

Vladimir challenges us as Gentile Christians to share our faith with Jewish unbelievers, making them jealous of what we have in Yeshua. Why? We were offered salvation after His own refused His generous offer. Still He loves them dearly.
The Christian predicament of lacking faith can be devastating in the life of the believer. However, the development of a really powerful faith leads us to resting in God’s power and faithfulness when He becomes more real than our circumstances. This study will help us understand how God’s method of development of great faith can occur in every believer.

Wayne Stiles teaches what the Bible says about the ripple effect of baptism in your life. What does baptism really mean biblically? The Great Commission means more than getting wet, but it also means we are developing ourselves spiritually—and also developing others.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 26-27 that God’s surprising approach to helping us grow involves giving us His Word and His promise to bless obedience. When we blow it, God’s discipline motivates repentance—so that He may bless His people once again. Ultimately, our security is tied to the certainty of God's promises.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 25 how our hopes will all be fulfilled in the ultimate Year of Jubilee. Until then, our life should reflect our belief that all we have God has provided. Our hands should hold loosely our possessions, for they are all God's, and ours only to use for a time.

Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 23:1–3 that believers celebrate God’s Sabbath rest by resting in Christ’s finished work on the cross. In our lives, we should also insist on a regular cessation, and trust God with what’s undone.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 21-22 what worship really is. It isn’t just singing or music on Sundays. In fact, there is no division between our spiritual life and our secular life. Our entire life is a worship service to God.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 20 that what we believe determines what we do. The only way we can shun ungodly practices comes by saturating our minds with God’s Word.
We will be taught from Ephesians 1:3-14, that we, as believers, are complete in Jesus Christ. We are so complete that we are blessed by the Father, by the Son and by the Holy Spirit. Since we are so blessed, we need to learn to live that way.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 18-19 how to deal with your biggest challenge living in a world of sin. The Lord calls every believer to exclusive loyalty to Him, and to live a holy life— and also to love unbelievers.

From the feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread we glean principles of gratitude, conviction, and purpose that overflow in our lives so that we “might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.”
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 16 how we know all our sins can be gone. As God provided complete forgiveness annually through the Day of Atonement, so God provides complete forgiveness eternally through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 13–15 that our lives are in God’s hands.

David Souther covers what forgiveness is, is not, and how it is a blessing in our life.

Thanks,

Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 3 and 7 that we can enjoy peace with God because of the shed blood of Jesus. After that, we should share with others how God has blessed us.

Wayne Stiles walks through some questions asked about the Bible and the Christian life, with answers from Scripture.
Wayne Stiles teaches from Isaiah 6 how to get the dirt off your hands—and cleanse your heart from a guilty conscience. Ultimately, our goal cannot be to feel better about ourselves, for this never satisfies. God gives us a bigger vision and purpose.
Wayne Stiles teaches from 2 Kings 22 and the life of King Josiah that we can break our generational curse by remembering that our model for living is not our parents' example—but God's Word. Like Josiah did, we should tear down anything that competes with our worship of God and build up what assists it.
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of King Manasseh in 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33 that what we refuse to learn through instruction, God may teach us through struggle. God stands ready to forgive even the worst sinner. He will never give up on us.
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of King Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 32 to face your fear with faith and prayer to the God who is in control. God’s truth bring peace when the hard facts bring fear.
Wayne Stiles teaches from King Joash’s life in 2 Chronicles 24 what happens when people are bigger than God. (Bad stuff.) We need to cultivate personal character and conviction, which can only occur by a personal walk with God.
Wayne Stiles teaches from 1 Kings 21 on the life of King Ahab and discovering God’s secret of getting what you want. Greed blinds us to God’s blessings with the false need for more and makes us willing to compromise God's Word in order to get what we want. But greed will lessen its grip when gratitude fills our hearts.
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 what to do when fear creeps in. We should seek help from God according to the Scriptures and praise God for the victory He promises—even before we see victory.
Wayne Stiles teaches on the life of King Asa from 2 Chronicles 14–16 to discover what God is looking for in our lives. God may take what we most trust in so that we trust Him alone. In fact, God desires our trust so that He may do marvelous things in our lives.
We will be talking about my jail ministry at Tarrant County Jail and how inmates, as well as ourselves, can live a “victorious life” through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Wayne Stiles teaches from 1 Kings 12:25-33 what happens when we crown convenience. The world will tell you that obedience to God will threaten your security and that your spiritual life should be easy. Don’t believe it! The truth offers a better long-term solution.
Wayne Stiles teaches from the example of King Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12:1-20 how to avoid a royally wrong response. Ironically, trying to justify our selfish desires never leads to the satisfaction we seek. Instead, our truly selfless acts offer the greatest potential for peace.
Humans sin. How should you treat those who sinned? How should you be treated? What about God?
Wayne Stiles teaches from Psalm 63 what to do when nothing in life satisfies us. We each have a thirst only God can satisfy, and the Lord promises to satisfy us when we earnestly seek Him.
During the War of Independence and the founding era, numerous events occurred for which the Founders had no explanation – they could only attribute their good fortune to a superior being, and they regularly used words like “providence,” “divine protection,” “the Invisible Hand,” and “the Supreme Judge” to describe His help. These are the stories of some of the many occurrences that the Founders attributed to God’s Providence.

The phrase I shall not want is usually understood in a material sense, I will lack nothing. But the deeper meaning is that the Lord is enough for me, I am fully satisfied in Him. I want nothing else, nothing more.

Hebrews 4:14-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
