Series: Dynamic Truths For Difficult Times

I Peter 2:4-9
I want you to take God's Word and turn to I Peter 2. We are going to be looking at the same verses as we did last time, but I am preaching a different message entitled "The Ties That Bind."
1 Peter 2:4-9 "To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

We are living stones because the One who gives life dwells in us. And we make up a spiritual house of God. We are stones in the same building.
