Title: Melchizedek

Scripture: Hebrews 7:1-10

Icebreaker: Share a goal you have for this spring/summer about strengthening your relationship with God.

Summary: The sermon teaches that Melchizedek serves as a type of Christ, foreshadowing the ultimate priestly role of Jesus. Through this, believers understand the transition from the Levitical priesthood to the new priesthood established by Jesus, which provides a more perfect and eternal relationship with God.
