Sermon Notes

  1. We can’t engage the culture if we can’t even engage the church (1 Pet. 2:5).
  2. Jesus is building his church as a people – not a place (1 Pet. 2:5).
  3. We are a chosen people but not a choice people (1 Pet. 2:9).
  4. We are commissioned to be prophets and priests – not just consumers (1 Pet. 2:9).
  5. In the church, there are no spiritual elites.  We are all priests (1 Pet. 2:9).
  6. We can’t point others to the light if we don’t acknowledge we came from the darkness (1 Pet. 2:9).
  7. We cannot become like them in order to reach them (1 Pet. 2:11-12).
  8. We don’t need a temple because we are the temple.
