Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 2:1-8 – (00:00)

QUESTIONS

Q1. Is it Biblical for a born-again believer to be disconnected from and uninterested in being part of a local church? Why is it common thinking among many today that church is not crucial? – (10:34)

Q2. What is the outcome when we fail to recognise and grow in this understanding of ourselves as "lively stones" for God's spiritual house? What is the outcome if we do respond rightly to this fact? – (15:19)

Q3. How can I be a lively stone to build up a spiritual house? How should we think about this New Testament priesthood in relation to the New Testament church model? – (31:58)

Q4. Are we really priests? – (50:12)

Q5. What does "acceptable to God" remind us about in v5? What must I learn? – (55:43)

Q6. What is a repeated aspect of Christ in vv4-7? What can I learn about why I am not interested in His church? – (1:03:49)

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 2:1-8

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
