Hebrews 7 | Do We Really Need a Priest? | Grant Barney | Calvary Chapel North Texas

Sep 27, 2026  •  Pastor Grant Barney

If Jesus paid for our sins once and for all, why does the Bible keep talking about Him as a priest? 


Is the priesthood just an old religious category we've moved past?


In this study:


• Melchizedek in Genesis 14 and Psalm 110 — an Old Testament picture of a superior King-Priest

• Why the priesthood had to change (Hebrews 7:11-19)

• The New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31, and why the law could never save

• Jesus as the guarantee ("surety") of a better covenant

• Why an eternal, sinless High Priest is the only one who can save completely


Scripture covered: Hebrews 7 · Genesis 14:18-20 · Psalm 110:4; 19:7 · Jeremiah 31:31-34 · Isaiah 46:9-10 · Galatians 3:10, 24-26 · Ephesians 2:8-9 · John 1:14; 10:9; 14:6 · 1 Timothy 2:5 · 2 Corinthians 5:21
