A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to teach at The Prayer Room‘s weekly Encounter service. When I was asked to step in as guest speaker, I immediately knew what I wanted to teach on: priesthood. I had actually originally been invited to teach this message at a church in Wisconsin in spring 2020… but I think we all remember spring 2020! Yeah, that trip did not occur. But this message had been stirring in my heart since then, and pieces of it long before. It was a privilege to finally package it all together and share with my community.
Priesthood is a core idea to the house of prayer. It’s part of our identity before the throne of God. All of us, no matter what other assignment we may have, are called to minister to God as priests. This calling goes all the way back to the garden of Eden; in fact, we could accurately call the garden the first temple on earth and Adam the first priest! (Breaking down the Hebrew behind this concept is one of my favorite parts of studying/teaching on priesthood.) Then, as the overflow of our ministry of prayer and worship to God, we are empowered and commissioned to minister His truth to others.
Wanna know the best part about being a priest?
God Himself is our inheritance (Nu. 18:20).
