margin: 0px">I have taught on the Melchizedek priesthood many times — as an aspect of intercession, as a Bible study through Hebrews — but I had never taken the time to unpack what I believe the Scriptures and the history of the church say about it. That is what this course is.

This is not a study about a mysterious figure in Genesis 14. It is a study about the priesthood you already stand in. Across nine modules we walk through Hebrews chapters 1 through 12, laying the Old Testament texts Hebrews is quoting side by side with the fulfillment it is announcing. We compare the Levitical order with the order of Melchizedek. We look at Adam's priesthood in a garden where heaven and earth overlapped, at the incarnation as priestly work done in a body, at the cross as intercession that is cruciform in its very shape, and at the blood that inaugurated a better covenant.

I build the way I always build — milk to bread to meat. Foundation first, so that your spirit has the capacity to receive what comes later. And all of it is revelation that brings you into invitation. My goal is not to hand you deep revelation of the priesthood of Melchizedek and leave you there. My goal is union with Jesus. The end result of everything I teach is always the same: to know Him, and to make Him known.

What You'll Walk Away With

· A working knowledge of Hebrews 1 through 12 and the Old Testament texts it is built on — Genesis 14, Psalm 2, Psalm 110, Psalm 22, Leviticus, and the Day of Atonement

· A clear grasp of the difference between the Levitical priesthood and the priesthood of Melchizedek, and why that difference is the whole argument of Hebrews

· Language for embodied intercession — priestly work done in a body, on behalf of a people, standing between the dead and the living

· An understanding of why what happened personally to Jesus is deeply personal but never private

· The witness of the early church — Athanasius, Cyril of Alexandria, Chrysostom, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Maximus the Confessor, Origen — set alongside what the Spirit is saying now

· A functioning priesthood, not just a theology of one: how this shapes your prayer, your intercession, and the ground you occupy where God has placed you

Who This Is For

· Believers who want more than an introduction to Hebrews and are willing to be taken deep

· Intercessors and prayer leaders looking for the biblical and historical foundation under what they already carry

· Pastors, teachers, and ministry leaders forming others in the priesthood of all believers

· Students in college and seminary contexts, and anyone teaching this material to a group

· Anyone who has read Hebrews 7 and known there was more in it than they had been given

No prior study of Hebrews is required. The first module lays the foundation on purpose.

What's Inside

Nine modules, taught in order. Each one opens with a Module Focus and its Key Scriptures, moves through the teaching itself, and closes with Key Takeaways, Application Points, and Reflection & Discussion Questions built for personal study or a group setting. Throughout, From the Fathers callouts bring in the ancient voices of the church, and In Plain Terms boxes stop and lay out the heavier turns step by step so no one gets left behind. The manual also carries a Word Studies section, a Scripture reference index, and a full bibliography.

Available as a training manual in print and PDF, alongside the teaching.
