Message Notes

Key Scripture: Exodus 19:3-6, 1 Peter 2:9

Purpose for our lives and partnership with God begins in priesthood.

Priests are invited into a special relationship of distinction with God (Ex.
19:3-4, 19:6, 1 Peter 2:9, Gal 3:28-29, Rev 1:5b-6).

Priests are given a specific duty in their service for God (Ex. 19:5, Deut.
33:10, James 5:16).

Priests are empowered through a sacred devotion for God (Ex. 19:5-6, 1
Peter 2:9-12).

Christ is our high priest, and He is our ultimate example of priesthood.

Reflect + Apply

How did today’s message help you understand the role of priesthood in
the Bible, and what this means for us as followers of Jesus today? How
do we carry out this purpose together?

What does a commitment to holiness look like in your life?

You are a treasured possession of God! Your life has meaning, and
purpose and you can join your life in a story and movement that is
bigger than you. Would you ask Jesus today how you can step fully
into this identity of priest? Would you ask Him to open your eyes to see
yourself and others according to this distinct identity that He has given
us?
