  1. Psalm 111:1-3 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. Majesty 1x - #10Our Great Savior vs, 1,2,5#17

  2. Worthy of Worship 1,2,3 - #153 1 Timothy 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.

  3. Hebrews (part 16) The Superiority of Christ Melchizedek and ChristA Great Comparison Hebrews 7:1-10

  4. Hebrews 7:1-10 (ESV) 1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

  5. Hebrews 7:1-10 (ESV) 3He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever. 4See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils!

  6. Hebrews 7:1-10 (ESV) 5And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham.

  7. Hebrews 7:1-10 (ESV) 6But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. 8In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

  8. Hebrews 7:1-10 (ESV) 9One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, 10for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

  9. 4 questions that can help us understand the message of Hebrews 7:1-10

  10. 1) Who was Melchizedek? He was a king who is briefly mentioned in Scripture → Genesis 14:17-20;→ Psalm 110:4;→ Hebrews 5:6; 5:10;6:20: 7:1-28

  11. 17After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). 18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) 19And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 20and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. Gen 14:17-20

  21. 4) What truth do we gain from learning about Melchizedek and Christ? Christ is worthy to receive our tithes and offerings Christ is worthy of our trust, faith, and commitment

  22.
