Brookside Church: A Community of Priests?

Our recent visit to Bethel Church in Redding, California helped to restore and re-ignite a passion in me for encountering the kingdom of God and welcoming God’s blessing – whatever it looks like. Having been home for a few weeks, I have gained clarity and sharpness in respect of the kernel of our vision as a church. I believe God’s heart and purpose for us (and every church) is to be a community of His priests.

 

Priests are the “connectors and conduits” of God’s blessing.

 

God’s original purpose for His people Israel was for them to escape the slavery of Egypt and then to exercise a role as His priests to the nations of the world. In the New Testament, Peter tells us that the birth and death of Jesus (our high priest) has ushered in a new age where every believer is now part of a “royal priesthood.”

 

Let’s think about this, select this link to read more of what Steve has to say....
