Acknowledgements:

This album is dedicated to Jesus Christ, the glorious Mediator of a better covenant through which we have access to God. The book of Hebrews is a fascinating study of His qualifications as Mediator of this covenant, as well as the glorious work of redemption through His blood.

Just like that early Hebrew congregation needed exhortations to stand firm in the faith, we, more than ever, need to respond to that word. My prayer is that these songs of worship will help enrich your estimation of, and devotion to, Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest.

Most of these songs were written and sung during a series of sermons that our pastor delivered on the book of Hebrews.

I want to thank our Lord for giving the vision and resources to accomplish this project.
To our beloved Pastor, Zac Nazarian, whose unrelenting zeal and love for the teaching of God's Word has profoundly impacted all of us for the Kingdom's sake.

To the Hope Chapel Hermosa worship team and band members, who unselfishly serve five times a weekend and more.

To the wonderful body of people called Hope Chapel, who love to respond to God through worship, fellowship and the study of His Word.

To Allen Kaufman and Reggie Turner, for staying up late helping with production.
To Mike Faye, for taking on the cover design project with a great attitude.
To all those who lifted a prayer to our Great High Priest for this project.
To Christian Collins ('The Flash'), for just being there.

Still For the Kingdom,
Alan Kisaka
