    Hebrews 7 Explained: Melchizedek, Tithing, and Jesus’ Priesthood

    Send us Fan Mail Have assumptions become part of your faith without you realizing it? Hebrews 7 introduces Melchizedek, a priest and king whose story raises questions Scripture does not fully answer. But the chapter directs our attention to something greater: the permanent priesthood of Jesus and the better hope through which we draw near to God. Abraham’s gift to Melchizedek also raises an important question: does his example establish a requirement for Christians to give ten percent to a local church? We examine the difference between learning from a biblical example and turning that example into a religious rule. In this episode of the Bible In Order Podcast, we continue our chronological study through the New Testament in 2026, one chapter at a time, with Hebrews 7 explained. In this Bible study, we explore: • What Scripture reveals about Melchizedek—and the gaps we sometimes fill with assumptions. • Abraham’s tenth and the principle of giving back to God. • Why Melchizedek’s priesthood was not based on genealogy. • What the Levitical priesthood could not bring to completion. • Jesus’ priesthood through the power of an indestructible life. • The better hope and better covenant we have through Jesus. • Jesus’ ongoing intercession and His ability to save to the uttermost. Our confidence rests in what Jesus has accomplished. He holds His priesthood permanently, and through Him we can draw near to God.

    Believing in Jesus is Just the Beginning? | Hebrews 5 Explained

    Send us Fan Mail What could be more important than going to heaven? Have you been believing in Jesus for years but still learning the same basic lessons? Hebrews 5 gives believers a challenging correction: “By this time you ought to be teachers.” Faith in Jesus is a beginning, but God expects us to grow. This chapter also introduces Jesus as our High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek. His suffering, obedience, and priesthood lead into a direct challenge for us: move beyond milk, receive solid food, and develop discernment through constant practice. In this episode of the Bible In Order Podcast, we continue our chronological study through the New Testament in 2026, one chapter at a time, with Hebrews 5 explained. In this Bible study, we explore: • The role of a high priest and why God appoints him. • Jesus as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek. • Melchizedek as king of righteousness and king of peace. • Jesus’ prayers, suffering, and obedience. • Eternal salvation and the call to obey Jesus. • Why believers are expected to become capable of teaching others. • The difference between spiritual milk and solid food. • Training our discernment to distinguish good from evil. Are we growing in our understanding and obedience, or simply repeating the same lessons year after year?

    The Warning Connected to God's Rest | Hebrews 4 Explained

    Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to enter into God’s rest—and why does Hebrews warn us not to miss it? Hearing the good news is not enough. Hebrews 4 calls us to respond with faith instead of hardening our hearts. When worry takes over and complaining replaces gratitude, we need to turn our attention back to God. This chapter brings both a serious warning against disobedience and a powerful invitation: draw near to God’s throne of grace, where we can receive mercy and help in our time of need. In this episode of the Bible In Order Podcast, we continue our chronological study through the New Testament in 2026, one chapter at a time, with Hebrews 4 explained. We explore God’s rest, Israel’s wilderness example, the Word that exposes our hearts, and Jesus our great High Priest. In this Bible study, we explore: Hearing God’s message and responding with faith. Trusting God with our circumstances today. The Sabbath rest that remains for God’s people. The warning against hardening our hearts. Joshua, the promised land, and the promise of another rest. How God’s living and active Word reveals our thoughts and intentions. Why Jesus understands our weaknesses. Approaching the throne of grace with confidence. God is not asking us to clean ourselves up before coming to Him. He invites us to humble ourselves, depend on Him, and receive the help only He can give.

    The Warning Christians Can’t Afford to Ignore | Hebrews 3 Explained

    Send us Fan Mail What should concern Christians most—the future of the world, or the condition of our own hearts? Hebrews 3 gives believers a serious warning: take care that an unbelieving heart does not lead you away from the living God. Sin can deceive us. Our hearts can grow hard. That’s why this chapter calls us to consider Jesus, hold firmly to our confidence in Him, and encourage one another every day. In this episode of the Bible In Order Podcast, we continue our chronological study through the New Testament, one chapter at a time, with Hebrews 3 explained. We examine why Jesus deserves greater glory than Moses and what Israel’s rebellion in the wilderness teaches us about faith, obedience, and perseverance. In this Bible study, we explore: - Why Hebrews calls us to consider Jesus. - How Jesus is greater than Moses. - Moses as a faithful servant and Jesus as the Son. - The importance of “if” in the call to hold firmly to our hope. - The warning against developing an unbelieving heart. - How the deceitfulness of sin hardens us. - Why daily encouragement and Christian community matter. - What kept Israel from entering God’s rest. When God convicts us, how do we respond? This chapter challenges us to listen, submit to Him, and stay connected with believers who will tell us the truth.

    Can You Drift Away from Jesus? | Hebrews 2 Explained

    Send us Fan Mail Why did Jesus have to become human? Hebrews 2 connects His humanity, suffering, and death with our salvation—and gives a warning we cannot afford to ignore: “How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?” Neglect doesn’t always look like openly rejecting Jesus. It can happen as the cares of life slowly draw our attention and affection away from Him. In this episode of the Bible In Order Podcast, we continue our chronological journey through the New Testament with Hebrews 2 explained, exploring why Jesus shared in flesh and blood and how His suffering equips Him to help us in ours. In this Bible study, we explore: - The warning to pay attention so we do not drift away. - What it means to neglect salvation. - God’s witness through signs, wonders, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. - Why Jesus became human and was made lower than the angels for a little while. - Jesus’ authority when the world still appears out of control. - What being made “perfect through suffering” means. - How Jesus’ suffering provides an example for believers. - His victory over the devil and His help when we suffer. Keep your attention on Jesus. Remember the value of what He has done, and learn to turn to Him for help.
