In this message, Adrian the Beloved continues unveiling the significance of the high priestly garments, focusing on the breastplate and the shoulder pieces. Through these garments, we gain a deeper understanding of how Christ carries us before the Father. We learn that the stones on the breastplate reveal how precious we are in God's sight. Each stone was carried over the heart of the high priest, painting a beautiful picture of God's love for His people. This love is neither partial nor deficient. God does not love some more than others; He holds each of us in the fullness of His love. As our High Priest, Christ carries us continually upon His heart, reminding us that we are known, valued, and deeply loved by God. We also see that the breastplate was supported by the shoulder pieces, symbolizing strength. The shoulder is a place of government, responsibility, and power. This reveals that we are not only held in Christ's love but also upheld by His strength. Our standing before God is not sustained by our ability but by His. The same Christ who loves us perfectly is also able to keep us completely. We are carried by the full measure of His love and upheld by the full measure of His strength. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In this continuation of the Christ My High Priest series, Adrian the Beloved begins to unveil the significance of the mitre, the linen bonnet worn by the high priest. We learn that the mitre symbolized holiness of thought before God. When God looked upon the high priest, He saw one set apart unto Him, bearing thoughts consecrated to His purposes. From this, we are led into the beautiful reality of Christ’s priesthood. Christ, our High Priest, always stands before the Father on our behalf, and His thoughts concerning us are holy. Because of His finished work, we are no longer defined by our failures, sins, or shortcomings. We have been forgiven, redeemed, and made righteous before God. God does not remember our sins, and through Christ we have been given bold access to draw near to Him. We must remain conscious of our forgiveness and righteousness in Christ. As we keep in remembrance that our sins have been dealt with once and for all, confidence replaces condemnation, and we are able to approach God freely and boldly. The revelation of being forgiven forever is what frees us to enjoy unhindered fellowship with God and fully embrace all that Christ has secured for us. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In this special all-ladies meeting, Adrian the Beloved highlights the vital role of women in God's Kingdom and calls them to recognize their value in Christ. We learn that a woman who is consistently fed by the Word becomes a force to be reckoned with, equipped to fulfill God's purpose and advance His vision. Through Scripture, we see that women played significant roles in the ministry of Jesus, supporting the spread of the Gospel and serving as faithful participants in God's redemptive plan. We are reminded not to underestimate the influence and impact God has entrusted to women. The message also unveils a powerful truth: God gives the Word, but the warring women of Zion are entrusted with carrying and proclaiming the message. Women are not spectators in God's Kingdom—they are carriers of His vision. As they grow in the Word, stand in faith, and embrace their identity in Christ, they become powerful instruments through whom God accomplishes His purposes. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In this message, Adrian the Beloved helps us understand what Christ’s priesthood has made available to us. Because we have a better High Priest, we have received better promises and a better covenant. Among these promises is the gift of the Holy Spirit indwelling us and opening us up to the realities and blessings secured for us in Christ. We also see that through this better covenant, we have received the forgiveness of sins and all the benefits that flow from Christ’s finished work. We learn that this covenant is unlike any other. It is a covenant we contributed nothing to, yet we are invited to enjoy all its advantages. Christ fulfilled every requirement on our behalf and brought us into the full benefit of what He accomplished. Because these promises belong to us in Christ, we must insist on them, boldly laying claim to everything His finished work has made available. As we grow in the knowledge of the Spirit of promise and remain conscious of all that is ours in Christ, we position ourselves to walk in the fullness of this better priesthood, better covenant, and better promises. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In Christ Our Better High Priest Than Aaron, Adrian the Beloved continues the Christ My High Priest series by helping us understand Christ’s priesthood in contrast to the Aaronic priesthood. We look at the limitations of Aaron’s priesthood—its imperfection, its dependence on continual sacrifices, and its inability to bring lasting righteousness. From there, we see that while the Aaronic priesthood served as a temporary system, Christ’s priesthood is not merely greater—it is above all. Revealed through the Melchizedekian order, His priesthood is flawless, eternal, and complete. He is the High Priest who perfectly mediates between God and man, securing everlasting access and righteousness for us. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In Christ Our High Priest: Greater Than Melchizedek, Adrian the Beloved continues the series on Christ our High Priest by unveiling the meaning of the Melchizedek priesthood. We understand that the Melchizedekian priesthood was a picture—a shadow meant to give us insight into what Christ’s priesthood would be. It carried mystery and weight, but it was never the substance. Christ’s priesthood is greater. While Melchizedek’s priesthood pointed forward, Christ’s priesthood is everlasting, perfect, and complete. He is the true High Priest, our better mediator, whose sacrifice and intercession secure our eternal access to God. In Him, the shadow finds its fulfillment, and we stand in the reality of righteousness and life.

In this thanksgiving and praise service, we hear testimonies of what God has done, lifting our voices in praise and gratitude for His marvelous works. This message by Adrian the Beloved, amplifies these testimonies by pointing us back to Christ—the center of it all. We are reminded that everything we seek can only be found in Christ, and outside of Him we cannot truly enjoy what we desire. Christ is the Wonderful, and He the Wonderful performs the wonderful works. His supply always exceeds our expectations, and what He specializes in are the very things we deem impossible—He makes them possible, abundantly so. As we behold Christ and His wonderful works, our faith is stirred to receive our own testimony. Listen, believe, and let your heart be lifted in thanksgiving, for in Christ the impossible becomes your reality. Shalom.

In Christ Our Better Daysman, we continue to unfold the weight of Christ’s priesthood. We better understand that Christ is both our mediator and our intercessor. As mediator, He represents God to us and us to God, perfectly bridging the gap. As intercessor, He constantly pleads on our behalf—not because God needs an intercessor, but because we do. His intercession is for us, ensuring that our standing before God remains secure in Him. Christ is our better Daysman, the one who stands between, reconciling us to God and keeping us in fellowship with Him. Through His sacrifice and ongoing intercession, we can boldly relate to God, knowing that our identity in Christ makes us righteous, accepted, and heard. Listen and walk in the revelation of Christ Our High Priest. Shalom.

In this message, we understand the purpose of priesthood. A holy God desired to relate to sinful man, but man’s sin nature meant death in His presence. Priesthood was God’s system to bridge that gap. To understand this, we first consider what it means that God is holy. Holiness is not defined by sin or its absence—God is holy simply because He is. To be holy means to be set apart, uncommon, distinct from all else. His very being is holy, and everything He pulsates is holy. From this foundation, we see the weight of Christ’s priesthood. Christ is our High Priest, our better mediator, who has perfectly bridged the gap between a holy God and sinful man. Through Him, we who were once enemies can now boldly relate to God. Our identity in Christ makes this possible—His sacrifice secured our access. Because Christ is our High Priest, we stand in righteousness, not fear, and commune with God freely. Understanding this truth highlights the relevance and privilege of having a living relationship with Him. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In this message, Adrian the Beloved exposes one of the subtle traps that hinder spiritual growth. We learn that growth does not come by hopping from church to church, chasing man of God after man of God, or scrolling online to randomly consume whatever message we choose. True growth comes by staying planted, allowing ourselves to be pastored, because God has given us shepherds after His own heart to raise us. We are meant to be disciples, not mere churchgoers. To despise or bypass the system God has put in place is to stunt our growth. But when we properly respond to His order—remaining rooted, submitted, and fed—we flourish. Discipleship is the pathway to maturity, and being pastored is the safeguard against spiritual instability. Listen and be rooted. Shalom.

In this message, Adrian the Beloved unveils the spiritual dynamics at work in the believer’s walk. Scripture shows us that four laws operate—the law of God, the law of the mind, the law of sin, and the law of the Spirit of life. Each has its own effect, but the law of the Spirit of life is the higher law, the one that gives life and freedom. The gospel is the revelation of righteousness, and to live by the Spirit of life is to remain righteousness-conscious. When we know and reckon our righteousness in Christ, we rise above the pull of sin and the limitations of the mind. The law of the Spirit of life empowers us to walk in victory, not by our works but by grace, continually feeding on the reality of Christ’s finished work. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.

In this message, Adrian the Beloved speaks to the pressures young adults face in a world that often pushes them toward ungodly decisions. We are reminded that we are not to be driven by worry, fear, or the need to prove ourselves. The world’s system thrives on striving, but God’s kingdom operates by receiving. The essence is this: God, who cares more about our wellbeing than we do, has already given us everything we’ll ever need in Christ. These are the “freebies” of grace—peace, wisdom, favor, protection, and abundance—supplied without striving. Yet to truly enjoy them, we must rest in His love, trust His provision, and boldly confess our reality as the righteousness of God in Christ. Silence keeps us from receiving, but speaking and living this truth opens us to the fullness of grace. When we fix our gaze on Christ and declare His finished work, all that we truly need flows to us effortlessly, because in Him we lack nothing.

In this message, We go further into why people struggle with their Christian lives. By the Scriptures, we see that one of the reasons is silence—the failure to speak and live out our reality as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. To walk and to speak our righteousness is a demonstration of faith, and faith must be expressed. The essence is this: sin is no longer our master, and we do not have to answer its call because we are the righteousness of God in Christ. When we boldly confess and live this truth, we align with grace and walk in victory. Silence keeps believers bound, but speaking and living our righteousness releases us into freedom, strength, and fruitfulness in Christ. Listen and be free from guilt and condemnation. Shalom.

In this sermon, Adrian the Beloved takes us into why many struggle with their Christian lives. The heart of the message is clear: we must know and reckon our victory over sin. Scripture shows us that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ—this is the reality Christ’s sacrifice has secured for us. Struggles often arise when we live for pleasure or self, forgetting that we are no longer our own but belong to Christ.   The essence is this: victory over sin is not by our works, effort, or striving, but by grace through Christ’s finished work. We overcome not because of what we do, but because of what He has already done. To reckon ourselves dead to sin is to embrace the truth that His grace has set us free, and to live daily in dependence on Him. When we yield to Christ, we live fruitful Christian lives without the weight of struggle—resting in grace, not in self.

In this message, our eyes are opened to the breathtaking reality of being friends with God. Through Christ and His finished work, we who were once enemies have now been brought into friendship with the Father. This friendship is not casual—it is communion, the very relationship God desires with and for us.   This beautiful friendship with God comes with so many benefits. As friends of God, we enjoy divine protection, the trading of secrets, and access to His heart. Friendship with God means we are no longer outsiders but partakers of His love, His wisdom, and His provision. To be a friend of God is to live in intimacy with Him, walking daily in the blessings that flow from His presence.
