DISCUSSION

Share these questions in your household or with others from OBC over the phone

What was the priesthood's purpose in the Old Testament?

How would you define the phrase"priesthood of all believers"?

Why is understanding the "priesthood of all believers" important? What is the outcome if we fail to understand this important truth?

Everyone has a part to play in the Kingdom of God. Discuss the part you play.

STEP 5
MISSION & PRAYER

Take a moment to think about the message you've heard. Ask God to reveal to you a greater understanding of Him and His purposes for you as a "priest".

Spend some time praying for essential workers, students and the many others who have been affected by the lockdown.

Ask God to bring about opportunities for you to engage in His mission.

Get in touch with a few people that may need some extra encouragement at this time.
