LAFSF News:Pastor Granillo: A Royal Priesthood…
By Pastor Raul Granillo“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood…” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB).
Being God’s chosen people is simply being the people who have accepted the love-founded-grace that God extends to every person through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of course, Peter reminds the reader that we are more than just a “chosen people;” we are also a “royal priesthood.”
To be honest, I have to wonder how many of us have a misperception of what that means. When we hear “priest,” we may think of the head of the local church who has authority over his congregation; we may think Read More

Pastor Granillo: A Chosen People…
By Pastor Raul GranilloBut you are a chosen people… (1 Peter 2:9 NIV)
When my elementary school P.E. teacher told us we would be playing a team sport I would always throw out a quick prayer. “Dear God, please let our teacher pick me as a team captain.”
I did this because I knew that if I wasn’t chosen as a team captain then I would have to stand in the ranks and go through the torturous practice of being “picked”. I wasn’t athletic, and I wasn’t popular, so you can imagine how that went down for me. And when I was in school, your draft position said a great deal about what others thought of your talent Read More
