This Reformation Sunday sermon examines the ongoing scandal of the priesthood in light of Scripture’s teaching that Christ alone is our great High Priest. Using Hebrews as the foundation, the message exposes the unbiblical traditions of the Roman Catholic priesthood and affirms the Protestant conviction of Sola Scriptura and the universal priesthood of believers.

Believers are called to remember the courage of the Reformers, who stood on the authority of Scripture against the corrupt traditions of men, and to continue defending Christ’s exclusive mediatorial role.

Key Themes:

• The Reformation and the authority of Scripture

• The sufficiency of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice

• The failure of human priesthoods and religious hierarchies

• The believer’s role as a royal priesthood in Christ
