Sermon Notes

Peter emphasizes the importance of Jesus Christ as the cornerstone and foundation of the Christian faith. He describes Jesus as the living stone rejected by humans but chosen and precious to God. Believers are encouraged to come to Christ, who is the cornerstone, and they, as living stones, are built into a spiritual house. This passage underscores the central role of Jesus in the life of believers and the idea that they are part of a spiritual structure founded on Him.
