The Church (1 Peter 2:4-10)

The Church (1 Peter 2:4-10)
Pastor Brent Kompelien

It’s part 3 in our 13-week summer sermon series, “What Does the Bible Say?”. After an opening example of childhood building sets and the necessity of a good cornerstone, Pastor Brent preaches a “1-2-3” sermon about the Church in 1 Peter 2: “One Cornerstone” (vv. 4-6); “Two Responses” (vv. 7-8); and “Three Results” (vv. 9-10). The Church is built on the Cornerstone of Jesus, the Living Stone and Person where Heaven and Earth meet! Jesus is either our salvation or our judgment. Those who receive Him in saving faith experience renewed relationships (in covenant with Him and each other as His temple); renewed purpose (declaring His praises); and renewed identity (saved)!
