The Scriptures teach that there is one God and one Mediator also, between God and men; the Man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) Our Pastor Landis Fisher has prepared a message today to explain this concept from the Biblical view and how it applies to all people in the world and what the roll of the Church is in regard to this very important teaching. Listen today as our teacher delivers a message he has titled: “Perfect Priest Perfect Peace”

New Testament Scripture Reading: Hebrews 10:10 – 17 (KJV)
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Heb 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) Ever since the fall of Adam into sin, God has required a mediator of some sort to maintain a ‘buffer’ between unholy sin and Holy God; therefore, God established an acceptable system in time which is known as the ‘priesthood’ which provided an acceptable approach to God on terms selected by Him; and it has always been available to all who believe who desire to be in reconciliation with God.
2) Unknowing and or ‘self-sufficient’ people have often corrupted this concept established by God and became establishers of false religious systems, some of which are present today; rather than realizing that God has established and provided an acceptable means to approach Him; and that it is His desire to mend everyone’s relationship with Him, but that it must be on His terms.
3) Christ Jesus is the perfect High Priest after the order of Melchizedek; and has ordained that all who trust in Him are a kingdom of priests and kings unto His God and are sent out on a mission of reconciliation to all the people in the world to proclaim His forgiveness, mercy and grace as the means of salvation.
