Priesthood of the Believer

We are filled with the Spirit and are God’s house.1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16

We are called to offer sacrifices to God. Offer the sacrifice of accurately handling God’s Word.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 5:12-14 Offer the sacrifice of our lives.

Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20 Offer the sacrifice of prayer. Offer the sacrifice of praise & doing good.

Hebrews 13:15-16

We are called to minister to those in darkness. What happens if we lose the priesthood of the believer? The church doesn’t function as Christ created it to. Individuals lose their desire to minister. Ruling elites decide what the church & individual will believe. The church becomes an organization not a living organism. Spiritual abuse will flourish. More & more people walking away from Christianity.
