MT25 Session / 6. A Royal Priesthood (Susie Voke) by Relational Mission
Sovereign Grace Bible Church of Ada, OK
In this episode, we launch the In Christ series with a message from 1 Peter 2:9–10 titled Remade in Christ. Together we wrestle with life's most essential questions: Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you going? Scripture reminds us that in Christ we find our true identity and mission. We don't belong to our affiliations or accomplishments, but to God Himself—chosen, redeemed, and sent to proclaim His glory. Join us as we rediscover who we are, why we exist, and what God has done for us through the gospel.
1 Peter 2:9 reminds us that followers of Jesus are God's chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and His treasured possession. This sermon explores what it means to...

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about the importance of living a life of holiness to the Lord. She talks about the example that was given in the old testament when the tabernacle was prepped for the presence of God. The detailed steps showcased God's desire for reverence and holiness. The tabernacle was a foreshadowing of Christ – his shedding of blood for our sins and the tearing of the veil between us and God. His desire for holiness hasn't changed in the new covenant. We, his people, are a Royal Priesthood, and our hearts must be pure and solely surrendered to Him. Scripture references: John 15, 1 Peter 1-2, Exodus 28, 1 Samuel 14:41, Leviticus 19:2, Hebrews 5:1-14, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

This sermon from First Peter Chapter 2 explores what it means to be part of God's royal priesthood as Christians living in a post-Christian society. Pastor emphasizes that believers are called to live set apart in the world to reveal the One who set them apart. Just as the early Christians faced persecution under Emperor Nero, today's believers must maintain their distinct identity while conducting themselves honorably, even toward authorities they may disagree with. The sermon highlights Jesus as the cornerstone of our faith and explains how Christians are living stones being built into a spiritual house.The pastor mentioned that 'our mouth reveals our heart.' How have you seen this play out in your own life or in the lives of others?In verse 2, Peter compares our need for God's Word to a newborn's need for milk. How would you describe your current hunger for Scripture? What practical steps could you take to develop a deeper desire for God's Word?What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith? What happens when we build our lives on other foundations?The sermon emphasized that we are 'living stones' being built into a spiritual house. How does this metaphor change how you view your role in the church?Peter calls believers to 'honor everyone' and even to honor authorities we might disagree with. Why is this so challenging, and how can we practice this in today's polarized society?What does it mean to be part of a 'royal priesthood'? How should this identity affect our daily lives outside the church walls?The pastor stated that 'any gospel that does not require submission to Christ and the denial of our flesh is a false gospel.' How have you seen this truth challenged in today's culture?How would you answer the pastor's reflection question: 'What has changed about me since becoming a disciple of Christ?'Support the show

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Send us a messageIn 2 Peter, a glorious description is given of the Lord's “born again” offspringwho through His Blood Atonement Sacrifice on their behalf, have become “new creations” in Christ Jesus the Lord. They are His Blood-Bought redeemed ones who have been transferred from the realm of sin and darkness – and into God's Majestic Kingdom of Love, Life, and Eternal Life.In verses 9-10 it is written: “But you are a Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, a People for God's Own Possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him Who has called you out of darkness, and into His Marvelous Light.”Being reminded of our new divine nature that has been imputed to us in glorious Resurrection Power, underscores the necessity of our being separate from the world. And as the End of the Age draws nearer and the Rapture of God's redeemed one nearer still – that separation is becoming more pronounced.It is time to awaken – and Shine – for we are the only Light the darkened world has and we will be leaving soon!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

What does it mean to be a chosen generation? Are you walking in your divine purpose? In this powerful message, Pastor Donnie McClurkin reminds us that we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9), called to represent God's kingdom beyond earthly boundaries. Drawing from Joel 2:25, he reassures us that God will restore everything the enemy has stolen, providing for His people even in the face of trials. Pastor McClurkin also emphasizes the importance of generational unity, urging the younger generation to embrace their divine assignments while the older generation steps up to mentor and guide. Above all, he calls believers to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ by living holy lives and fulfilling their God-given purpose.

Neale Sheneman preaches from 1 Peter 2 and shares four ways we should steward the Royal Priesthood that Jesus has called us into.
What if you're not just called — but chosen for something greater? This Sunday, Pastor Josh shared his message, "A Royal Priesthood: Built Together, Set Apart," unpacking how 1 Peter 2 reveals our true identity as living stones, being built into a spiritual house for God's glory. We aren't meant to blend in — we are a royal priesthood, set apart to minister to God, offer our lives as sacrifices, and proclaim who He is to the world. This isn't just a title — it's a calling to live radically different, reflecting Jesus in everything we do. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
In the middle of our series on Spiritual Gifts, Josh takes a step back to build additional context. He starts with a look at the organizing of creation with humanity playing the role of Royal Priests. He traces the Royal Priesthood concept from Creation, through the nation of Israel, to the example of Jesus and then to the Church. Then he lays out the organizing of the Church into sacraments, disciplines and gifts. This includes a more detailed look at the gifts of Helps & Mercy. Josh closes with three options for the organization of you and a call to go forth and change the world.
In this sermon on 1 Peter 2:9, Dave Rich emphasizes the Christian's identity and calling to proclaim His excellencies. He explains that believers are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for God's own possession. This new identity empowers and obligates believers to proclaim His excellence in word and deed. Rich reminds us that who we are in Christ determines what we do for Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★
