Send us Fan MailHave assumptions become part of your faith without you realizing it? Hebrews 7 introduces Melchizedek, a priest and king whose story raises questions Scripture does not fully answer. But the chapter directs our attention to something greater: the permanent priesthood of Jesus and the better hope through which we draw near to God.Abraham’s gift to Melchizedek also raises an important question: does his example establish a requirement for Christians to give ten percent to a local church?
