The Living Stone - 1 Peter 2:4-10
Join us this week as we discuss 1 Peter 2:4-10 and examine the living stone of Jesus, the chief Cornerstone. Have we made the choice to come to the living stone of Jesus, and how does that illustration of Him help us see more of His true character and Holiness?
This podcast episode also includes a special testimony about giving

Scripture:
1 Peter 2:4-10
4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For this is contained in Scripture:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone,
And he who believes upon Him will not be put to shame.”
7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“The stone which the builders rejected,
This has become the chief corner stone,”
8 and,
“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this stumbling they were also appointed.
9 But you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
