Hearing the Call

Martin Luther has taught us that every baptized Christian is a priest, not by consecration or ordination, but because Christ has so proclaimed and given birth to each in baptism. The daily work of your hands, be it accounting, child care, or whatever, is your sacrifice given up to God. You are, by your baptism, a part of a royal priesthood.

Some are chosen from this great priesthood for specific work within the church. They are selected by God and by the church and are set apart for service in the church
