Living as a Kingdom of Priests: A Modern Take

Episode Overview

  • The gospel calls believers to be a kingdom of priests.
  • Worship is a tangible, everyday experience.
  • Acts of kindness and service are acts of worship.
  • True justice and human flourishing come from living out this calling.
  • Religious devotion should connect with daily life.
God is very literally living within every person who is a follower, believer in Christ.
Ever wondered how the concept of being a 'kingdom of priests' fits into modern Christian life? In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, Nathan and Kent take you on a journey through the Levitical priesthood to the present day, exploring how the gospel resumes God's calling for his people to be a kingdom of priests.
Nathan explains how, unlike in the Old Testament where priests ate food on behalf of God, today, with the Holy Spirit dwelling within believers, God can truly enjoy offerings through us. This shift makes worship a tangible, everyday experience rather than just symbolic rituals. The hosts discuss the implications of this for Christian community life, emphasising that every act of kindness and service is an act of worship.
They also touch on the political and social dimensions of faith, arguing that true justice and human flourishing come from living out this calling. You'll hear personal anecdotes, like Nathan's story about receiving help with his car from a fellow believer, illustrating how these concepts play out in real life. By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to live out your faith as part of a 'kingdom of priests' in today's world.
Don't miss this chance to see worship in a whole new light.
