In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston explore the biblical figure of Melchizedek and his relation to Jesus Christ. Melchizedek means "king of righteousness" and is mentioned in Genesis and Psalms. They discuss why Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek and how David mentions him as a type of Christ in Psalm 1:10. They also talk about Christophanies and Theophanies, appearances of Christ or God respectively. Finally, they dive into the concept of prayer in relation to determinism and fatalism. This conversation provides an insightful look into Melchizedek's relationship to Jesus and God's plan for our lives.
