Be a priest in your church! If you are not involved in any capacity to help make your weekly worship gathering a success, you are neglecting your priestly duty! I am always inspired by how the priests of the nation if Israel, the Levites, were not just the ones who did the teaching, the sacrifices, the worship, the praying...all the things we typically think of as sacred, but the priests were also the ones who did manual labor in the temple. They set everything up, took everything down, inventoried, polished, cleaned...all the work of the Tabernacle was sacred!
The usher ministry of your church, the cleaning teams, the nursery, the teachers, the altar workers, greeters...you can't find a job that relates to your weekly corporate gathering that is not priestly in nature, sacred! And all of us are called to help in some capacity, priest each of us!
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."
1 Peter 2:9
Priest Up!
Pastor Fred
