. In 1 Peter 2, the Church is described as a house that God is constructing. This passage is very helpful because it describes our purpose and identity as God's people, the Church. These verses will answers the questions like “Who are we? What is God doing in our midst?” The title of the message is God is Building His Church. We will see from 1 Peter 2 that God is Building His Church into the House of God. Today, I want us to notice three things about this house God is building: 1) the solid foundation, 2) the living materials, and 3) the spiritual purpose. First then, let us notice the… 1) Solid Foundation: God Builds His Church upon Jesus Christ [4-8] 2) Living Materials: God Builds His Church by Joining Believers Together [5a] 3) Spiritual Purpose: God Builds His Church to Display His Glory [5] [9-12] Dwelling Place for God Spiritual house/holy priesthood/spiritual sacrifices = the church of Jesus Christ is the true temple of God = the place of His habitation, His abiding, of the manifestation of His presence and power. Where does God live? God lives amongst His people. Not in buildings, but amongst people. Isn't it exciting that God is still building His church? God is drawing from all nations a people for Himself! Seek to be used by God to build His church as you tell others and teach others. I believe God is building His church drawing people to Himself from right here in Visalia. May God be pleased to use AGC to add more living stones to His holy temple!
