As we continue our sermon series about being strengthened and forged by God in the midst of our struggles, Pastor Paige explores the image of Jesus as our cornerstone from 1 Peter 2:2-10. God gives us Jesus as the foundation upon which we build our lives. Like Jesus, we are “living stones,” growing in faith and expanding our community as we invite others into God’s marvelous light. 1 Peter proclaims that together we are “a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people.” As believers, we are called to share God’s mercy with others and invite them to stand with us on the cornerstone that is Jesus Christ.
