    Summary

    Jim begins by reading several scriptures that emphasize the concept of believers as a "kingdom of priests." He explains that being a priest means having a unique relationship with God, which leads to service in His house and to His people. The primary duties of priests include maintaining their personal relationship with God, keeping the spiritual light burning, and offering sacrifices. Jim highlights the importance of personal devotion and the need for continual spiritual renewal. He discusses the significance of prayer and worship as essential functions of the priesthood, emphasizing that these acts are vital for both personal growth and the community's spiritual health. Additionally, he notes that priests are responsible for teaching and interpreting God's Word, ensuring that it is understood and applied. Jim concludes by stressing that the priesthood is not about elevating oneself but about serving others and being compassionate, reflecting Christ's love. He encourages believers to embrace their roles as priests, functioning together in unity to carry the testimony of God’s kingdom.
