Pillar Church Podcast

Jesus is our High Priest, the One who entered heaven on our behalf and secured our redemption forever. Scripture shows us that He is seated in authority, sympathetic to our weaknesses, and fully present with us in every struggle. And through His sacrifice, He has made us a kingdom of priests, called to minister to God, serve others, bless them, and help reconcile people back to Him. This message explores what it means that Jesus is the Highest Priest and what it means for us to live as His priests in our world today.

Jesus is the Head of the Church, the true Leader and life source of His body. Ephesians 1:19-22 reminds us that God placed all things under His authority for the benefit of the church. He owns it, builds it, and holds it together. Through Him, every part grows strong and full of love, because everything we do flows from Him.

This week’s message reminds us that real fruit doesn’t come from chasing dreams but from growing deeper in Christ. Your dream is not fruit; your maturity in Him is. Visitors don’t mature—abiders do. There are real consequences to not abiding, but those who remain in Him bring joy to His heart. This post was inspired by a prophetic prayer shared by one of our prayer team members this week, calling us back to stay connected to the Vine and let our lives bear lasting fruit.

In this message, we’re reminded that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we are His sheep. Scripture shows that sheep are helpless, easily harassed, and prone to wander without a shepherd’s care. Yet Jesus knows His sheep, carries them close to His heart, and leads them with love and wisdom. Even when we face danger or lose our way, He protects, guides, and restores us. Through every valley and trial, the Good Shepherd never leaves us alone—He seeks us out, brings us home, and rejoices when we return to Him.

There is only one Mediator who brings people back to God, and that’s Jesus Christ. We need a mediator because we’re guilty. The enemy constantly accuses us, and the truth is, every one of us has sinned and fallen short of God’s standard. The penalty for sin is death, but Jesus steps in for us.What makes having Jesus as our Mediator so amazing is that He’s always working on our behalf. He prays for us, stands up for us, and gives us direct access to God. Because of Jesus, our sins are forgiven, our record is cleared, and we can come confidently into God’s presence. He restores what sin tried to destroy.
