Better Priesthood

Jun 1, 2025    Pastor William Parsons

In our exploration of Hebrews 7, we delve into the profound significance of tithing and its spiritual implications. The chapter draws our attention to Melchizedek, a mysterious figure who received tithes from Abraham, demonstrating a priesthood superior to the Levitical order. This encounter challenges us to reconsider our understanding of giving and its connection to our relationship with God. We learn that tithing isn't merely about financial obligation, but a reflection of our heart's condition and our trust in God's provision. The passage invites us to examine our motives in giving, reminding us that God looks beyond our actions to the intentions of our hearts. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to approach giving with cheerfulness and faith, recognizing it as an act of worship and a testament to God's sovereignty over all we possess.
