From Peter's first letter, Pastor Steve explores what it means for us to be living stones in God's spiritual house. Jesus was the rejected stone who is now the cornerstone and capstone. If we ever feel rejected, abandoned or excluded, we know that we are now chosen, not discarded by Jesus. We are people with a threefold hope. For the past, our sin is wiped out, in the present Jesus is with us, and we have the future hope that death is defeated.
1 Peter chapter 2 speaks to the core of our identify in Christ, and pastor Steve draws out four dimensions.
Our priestly privileges and responsibilities flow upwards in prayer and praise, inward towards each other as we share the gifts God gives us to promote the common good, and and outwards and priests and mediators between God and people.
\"You will be at your most fruitful when you take up your place as a royal priest and intentionally minister in, and minister out.\" Reject rejection, and take your place as a member of God's royal family!
