August 16, 2026 | High Point Assembly of God | Nate Cress, Executive Pastor

1 Peter 2:4-5

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1. The Living Stone (v. 4)

Jesus is the “Living Stone”—rejected by men but chosen by God. The stability of our “house” depends entirely on our alignment with Him, not our own efforts. Good news: God can still use what the world rejects.
“As you come to him…”. We cannot be placed in the building if we do not first draw near to the Builder.

2. You Are “Living Stones” (v. 5)

Just as Christ was transformed through resurrection, we are changed through faith.
A stone lying alone is just a rock. A stone placed in a wall is part of a house.
The Master Builder (God) places each stone exactly where He wants it.

3. A Holy Priesthood (v. 5b)

Not Just Attendees, but Participants
What is our “purpose”? To offer up sacrifices acceptable to God: our worship, our service, our generosity, and our godly living.
