The Greenhouse prayer room is an environment of extravagant worship and prayer where the focus is hosting God’s presence and ministering to the Lord (Acts 13:2). From His presence, He awakens intercessory prayer, the gifts of the Spirit flow and He launches us into His mission in the world.

THREE ASPECTS OF BEING A PRIEST by Matthew Lilley

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “priest”? For me, it's something like the photo below.

I grew up entrenched in non-denominational and charismatic protestant churches. Therefore, to me, priests were a catholic thing. Everything considered “catholic” to me was weird, at best, or heretical at worst. In my local churches, I never grew up hearing about “priests” or a “priesthood.”

I wondered why the Catholics were bringing back the Old Testament. They called their pastors priests. And these “priests” wore strange outfits and even burned incense. We evangelicals didn’t need any of that stuff, right? We had our personal relationships with God.

As I grew older, a few things changed. First of all, I studied church history, which increased my appreciation for other streams of the body of Christ, such as Roman Catholicism. While I am still definitely not Catholic, I do believe there are sincere followers of Christ in Roman Catholic congregations. I mean no disrespect by posting the photo of the catholic priests.

I also learned about the Protestant Reformation. In the 1500s, a large number of believers splintered off from Roman Catholicism. There were several issues involved, but one of the chief issues was what Martin Luther called the “priesthood of all believers.” He contended that all believers were priests and could access God’s presence without any mediator other than Christ.

I also started noticing references to priests, the priesthood, sacrifices, and other related terms throughout the New Testament. Maybe Luther was on to something. Passages like this were particularly noteworthy:

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. I Peter 2:4-5

I want to dive deeper into these verses today. First of all, I want to show you that your original purpose and eternal destiny are to be a kingdom of priests. Priesthood is not a side issue!

In the article, I will describe these three important aspects of being priests, based on 1 Peter 2:5:

1) Priests Need A Temple
2) Priests Offer Sacrifices
3) Priests Must Be Holy

Prayer Room UNITED

Beginning in May, we are inviting The Greenhouse community to come together in unity for ONE weekly prayer room set on Mondays from 7-8pm.

The venue is Forward Nation Church, 1202 E Fire Tower Rd Ste B in Greenville. All are welcome to join us for a time of Spirit-led worship and intercession in the presence of God!

Why are we shifting from four hours per week to one hour per week?

Similar to how Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, The Greenhouse is building a "wall" of day-and-night prayer and worship here in Pitt County. The workers in Nehemiah's day were spread across the wall, each in their own place. Yet there were times when the trumpet would sound, and they would all rally together in the same place:

And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another. In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.” Nehemiah 4:19-20

We sense the Lord is "blowing the trumpet" for our community to come together for a brief season. While our vision is to expand our prayer room to host 20+ hours of worship-based prayer every week, we sense the Lord inviting us to gather together in one place between now and the end of the summer. At that point, we plan to expand our prayer room hours again.

We will see you on Monday nights!
