Kingdom of God (Part 5)

Kingdom of God
Kingdom of GodSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the concept of being part of the Kingdom of God and what it means to be a "kingdom priest." He explains that being a kingdom priest means being a mediator between God and the world, and that this role is not limited to those in an institutional church. He highlights the responsibilities of priests, including being holy and teaching God's word, and reminds listeners that seeking the kingdom of God should be their primary goal. Additionally, he emphasizes that believers should view everything they have as belonging to God and should offer themselves as living sacrifices to Him.
