Engage

What was your understanding of the Reformation? Why might it be important to celebrate and remember the reformation five hundred years later?
Read Numbers 11:16-29. What is Moses hope for the people of God in the future?
Read Isaiah 61:6. What is God’s unfolding plan for all of his people in the future?
Priests of God have the privileges of (1) direct access to God, (2) offering spiritual sacrifices, (3) proclaiming the truth, and (4) priestly work. How would you explain each of these priestly roles? Priests prayed for people and ministered to their needs. Who do you need to be a priest to in 2018? How can you intentionally pray for them, minister to them and care for them like the priest you have been called to be?
What ways has the “secular/sacred” divide limited regular Christians from feeling like they can do the work of the ministry? How can you life be an example to other believers of their identity as Priests?
