Vision 2024: The Ministry of Priests

This last Sunday Alex gave part one of his teaching on our fourth core value: we have the privilege of hosting the Father’s Presence. 

We believe the Scriptures teach that the Church is supposed to be a home for God’s Presence, an access point between heaven and earth. (1 Pet 2v4-5, Gen 28v11-17)

The first identity that we want to take on as a church to host the Presence of God well, is the ministry of a priest. 

Priests in the Old Covenant offered up physical sacrifices, but since Jesus offered himself as the ultimate physical sacrifice, our ministry as New Covenant priests is to offer up spiritual sacrifices. Like David, we are to center our entire lives around praise, thanksgiving, song, and gazing upon the Lord. 

This is one of the primary ways we participate in heaven coming to earth. You are a priest!
