The Glorious High Priest: Finding Life in Christ’s Finished Work

This sermon is a sound, orthodox exposition of [Hebrews 1:3](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+1%3A3&version=KJV) and [John 17](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+17&version=KJV). The pastor effectively highlights Jesus' divine nature and His role as the mediator between God and man. The theological content is robust, avoiding major doctrinal pitfalls. While the sermon omits explicit mention of human depravity and monergistic regeneration, this is excused as a minor omission within a strict expository framework that focuses on Christ's person and work. The homiletics are clear, with strong applications for daily devotion and the glory of God.
