This week we continue our series Why Care About the Church with a message from James Allen titled “The Priesthood.” Rooted in passages such as 1 Peter 2:9–10, Exodus 19:5–6, Hebrews 10:1–14, and Hebrews 4:14–16, this message traces the story of God forming a kingdom of priests. From Israel’s calling, to the sacrificial system, to Jesus Christ as our perfect High Priest. Scripture reveals that through His once-for-all sacrifice, we are not only forgiven but made holy and brought near with confidence. In this message, we explore what it means to be a royal priesthood, God’s treasured possession, built together as a spiritual house, called out of darkness into His wonderful light to declare His praises and draw others to Christ.
