Purchased for Clarity: The Sobriety of a Blood-Bought Priesthood | 1 Peter 2:9

Описание: PURCHASED FOR CLARITY: THE SOBRIETY OF A BLOOD-BOUGHT PRIESTHOOD

What does it mean that Christians are a "royal priesthood"? In this expository sermon on 1 Peter 2:9 and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, we examine the biblical reality that believers are not their own—they were bought with the precious blood of Christ and transfigured into Spirit-indwelt priests.

This message explores:
✓ The ontological reality of being blood-bought (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
✓ What it means to be a royal priesthood in the New Covenant (1 Peter 2:9)
✓ The Levitical priesthood requirements and their application today (Leviticus 10:9-11)
✓ Biblical teaching on alcohol, sobriety, and vigilance
✓ The difference between Old Covenant and New Covenant priesthood
✓ How covenant identity determines Christian practice
✓ The transfiguration of believers at Pentecost
