Being the Royal Priesthood

In this sermon, Pastor Jim explores believers' role as a royal priesthood in Jesus. From Old Testament to New, the people of God are part of God's rescue plan. Reflecting on the Israelites as God's chosen priests, Jim emphasizes representing God to the world, bringing Him near, and embodying His character. With Jesus as the ultimate high priest, the sermon underscores the new identity and distinct living that comes with being God's children. Encouraging a deep dive into 1 Peter, Jim advocates for speaking the language of the Kingdom, sacrificial living, and making Jesus known in every aspect of life. Jim dives into the profound concept of living as priests in diverse environments, fulfilling the covenant through love and kindness. The congregation is prompted to intercede for others, be ambassadors of reconciliation, and share the hope of the gospel with gentleness and respect.
