About this episode

Pastor John Carter discusses the significance of believers as living stones in God's spiritual temple, based on 1 Peter 2:4–10.

Peter reminds believers that they have been called to much more than simply escaping judgment—they have been called into God's eternal purpose. Centered on 1 Peter 2:4–10, Pastor John Carter reveals in this message, Jesus as the rejected yet chosen Chief Cornerstone and explains how every believer has become a living stone in God's spiritual temple, called to proclaim His glory and build their lives upon Christ alone.
