How did early Christians begin a movement that transformed the world?

By seeing they had a great High Priest, they became a royal priesthood who brought blessings to many.

One way to understand God's plan of salvation for His people is to look at the Old Testament Leaders God appointed. 1) prophets- spokesmen who guided the people 2) priests- ministers who healed the people 3) kings- rulers who protected the people. Each had a role to fulfill if Israel was to thrive. The New Testament reveals Jesus is the Final Prophet, the Perfect Priest, and Consummate King. To be healthy, a Church must recognize and honor Christ in all His Offices. In this sermon, Pastor Joel explains the role of Jesus as our Final Prophet.

What is the oxygen of the gospel? Forgiveness! The more we take in how fully we've been forgiven, the more we will be able to freely forgive others.
