Principle #3 - Reformation to a Kingdom of Priests

Monday Jun 03, 2024
Principle number three of engaging the meta-modern generation with the hope of the gospel focuses on the idea of the priesthood of all believers drawing from the Exodus narrative and the Protestant Reformation. The communal nature of faith leads believers to embrace their identity as priests which reshapes their perspective, community, and outreach. With the pessimism of authority so prevalent in today's world, the greatest evangelist of this next generation will be a worshiping community of Jesus followers.

This message emphasizes the importance of seeing beyond the outward appearances and recognizing the divine image within each person. We go back to the forest, and see the illustration of how we can often miss seeing people for the cultural forest. Jesus encourages us to move past superficial judgments to uncover the inherent value and dignity present in every individual and call people to flourish in life by reflecting their creator.

Some people separate and abandon the generation, some confront to attack, while others give way and just accept the new way. Jesus came demonstrating a better way. He came full of grace and truth!
