2005-04-10 Living Beyond Myself - 2 - Me, A Priest

Have you ever thought of yourself as a priest? Most Christians never have, yet the Bible declares that every believer belongs to a royal priesthood. This message explores the revolutionary shift from the Old Testament sacrificial system—where priests never sat down because their work was never finished—to the New Testament reality where Jesus sat down after providing purification once and for all. Discover how Christ's finished work gives every Christian direct access to God's presence, the authority to broker God's grace, and the privilege to represent both God to people and people to God through prayer. Learn why churches that treat only clergy as real priests kill God's plan and how embracing your priesthood transforms ordinary activities into spiritual sacrifices that change lives eternally.
