Jesus is greater than the earthly priesthood because He is our eternal High Priest who intercedes for us forever. Earthly priests were temporary, but Jesus’ priesthood is permanent and perfect.
Even Better: Than Moses
What do we do when our hearts are hardened? What happens when someone who's impacted our faith lets us down? As we continue our look at the book of Hebrews, we are reminded that Jesus is greater than Moses because He is not just a servant in God’s house but the Son over God’s house. Moses led God’s people to the Promised Land, but Jesus leads us to eternal life.
Even Better: Than the Prophets
Jesus is greater than the prophets because He is the ultimate revelation of God. The prophets spoke for God, but Jesus is God’s Word in the flesh. Look to Jesus as the final and fullest picture of who God is.

Local Church Autonomy and Voluntary Association
Today we look at the final Baptist distinctive: local church autonomy and voluntary association. In our Baptist tradition, each church governs itself without a centralized authority, highlighting that this autonomy allows for diverse expressions of faith while still promoting collaboration with like-minded churches. Rob stressed the necessity of Christ as the head of the church, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the authority of Scripture in making collective decisions.
The Priesthood of All Believers
Do you know what a Priest is? All believers, not just designated priests, are called to be bridges between God and people, taking direct access to God through Jesus, the ultimate high priest. This calling comes with responsibilities such as prayer, worship, serving others, and introducing others to Christ. See how your engagement to this calling affects our strength as a church.
Scripture
Today we're looking at the distinctive of Scripture and the importance of understanding the Bible as the authoritative guide for life and faith, particularly within the Baptist tradition. Scripture is meant to be a daily resource, guiding individuals in all aspects of their lives, not just during church services.
