1. Priesthood of the Believer

2. We are filled with the Spirit and are God’s house. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16 We are called to offer sacrifices to God.  Offer the sacrifice of accurately handling God’s Word. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 5:12-14  Offer the sacrifice of our lives. Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20  Offer the sacrifice of prayer.  Offer the sacrifice of praise & doing good. Hebrews 13:15-16

3. We are called to minister to those in darkness. What happens if we lose the priesthood of the believer?  The church doesn’t function as Christ created it to.  Individuals lose their desire to minister.  Ruling elites decide what the church & individual will believe.  The church becomes an organization not a living organism.  Spiritual abuse will flourish.  More & more people walking away from Christianity.
